Quantitative vs. Qualitative approachesIn this forum, we are going to engage in debate about qualitative vs. quantitative research approaches. Specifically, you are going to argue which one is more valid than the other and why - based on the materials we've gone over in the textbook, in the research article, and the presentation.

Once you have taken your position, you are going to argue the opposite by responding to someone else's position.

The trick here is NOT to repeat the same argument as someone else. The sooner you post, the less you will have to read to make sure that you are capturing a different point. Use the chart in the powerpoint presentation that compares the two approaches as your guide, and the research article to provide you with examples. Don't be afraid to post more than twice to get an actual conversation going.

You will get a point for arguing for each approach.

You will get a BONUS MARK if you can make an articulate argument that encapsulates the validity of each approach.
