Type of Research

This document provides guidance for students on conducting quantitative and qualitative research for a course. It outlines the key differences between quantitative and qualitative approaches, including: quantitative research commonly uses numerical data and statistical analysis while qualitative uses non-numerical data and non-statistical analysis. Students are instructed to conduct a basic quantitative descriptive study exploring a humanities issue by surveying around 30 participants and using appropriate research terminology. The document emphasizes clearly understanding correlation versus causation and being careful when using words like "cause" or "effect" that imply experimental design.
