Sandy,
You were on the right track with this assignment but there were issues. The assignent was asking you to idnetify a qualitative and quantitative study and that is not what was done here. You discussed these approaches in general rather than reviewing two specific studies.
I would suggest resubmitting with this new focus. If you havre questions regarding this please let m know.
Best,
Dr. Owens
