As you progress through the phases of your project, you will be gathering data through your research. As you discovered in this week’s reading, both qualitative and quantitative data are useful when conducting research. The integration of quantitative and qualitative data provides the researcher with potential to strengthen the rigor and enrich the analysis and findings of a project.

What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative data and how will you use these types of data in your project? Be specific in your definitions. (I’ll upload my project blueprint once I choose a tutor)

Please see grading rubric below. This assignment should be at least 4-5 paragraphs each and very thorough. Make sure you integrate real-life applications to support key points.
