Discussion 6

Describe the methodology you have selected for your research proposal (qualitative or quantitative…) and discuss why you selected that method. What is the rationale of your research methodology selection? If you have unlimited resources and time, how would you revise your research proposal to be a mixed research methodology? (How would you design the quantitative and qualitative parts? How would you collect the data? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this proposed mixed research methodology design?) Students should use APA to cite references in all posts.
