THEORIES OF INQUIRY

 I need between 150-200 words for this assignment. 

Chapters 5 and 6 of the course textbook describe the GCU core research designs. Choose one qualitative design and one quantitative design that you would reasonably consider using for your dissertation. Briefly describe how the primary characteristics of each design would align with your intended research topic. Does one design seem to fit your topic better than the other? Why or why not?
