Directions: Using the template below, reverse outline the article (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291331261_What_distinguishes_a_novice_from_an_expert_mixed_methods_researcher) to see how all elements of a mixed-methods study work together. If something is not explicitly stated (e.g., the theoretical framework or research questions), you will need to do your best to surmise it, but you can note that it was not explicitly stated. Be sure to be detailed in your answers and provide rationale where needed.
