Qualitative vs. Quantitative Evaluation

Ashford 4: - Week 3 - Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 

Qualitative   vs. Quantitative Evaluation

 What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative forms of evaluation?  Cite specific instances when it would be appropriate to use each type of approach?  Your response to these questions should be 150 to 250 words in length.
 

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and reply to at least two of your classmates by Day 7.  Use a “devil’s advocate” approach that would probe them to rethink their responses so that they can make a stronger defense of their posts.
