Writing

you will write a short paper or deliver a presentation summarizing what you have learned about the three basic categories of research design. It may be a good idea to start by considering some questions related to the topic. Remember to include an introduction, APA-style headings (and subheadings if needed), a conclusion, and a references section. Avoid using too many direct quotations from the resources, and be sure to cite your sources.

Option 1:

What are the main elements and intentions of each research design?

• Quantitative
• Qualitative
• Mixed Methods

Which design do you most relate to and why? Or which design(s) are you most familiar with? Consider how you might use research findings to better understand what you do in your professional context, and/or provide an example of how they might validate what you are already doing.

This should be an APA-style paper with a title page, an introduction, a series of sections using main headings and subheadings (based on the questions listed above), and a developed conclusion.

Length: 2-3 pages, including references as needed

References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.
