Week 6 – Signature Assignment 1: Evaluate Quantitative Research Methods for Potential Studies
Instructions
This Signature Assignment consists of two parts that will be compiled into a single submission.

Part 1
Review the scenarios and related research questions below. Create some context for the identified scenario and research question.

Then, select one research method that could address the research questions (one for each) based on the section topics and readings. For each method, discuss what the method is, how it would be designed to support the research question and the rationale for choosing the selected method.

Then, discuss the hypotheses you might have in support. Explain the following and justify your response:

Identify the population that might be considered.
Explain the sampling process to be used.
Propose a collection strategy.
Determine an analysis process that could be applied.

In particular, identify and support an appropriate analysis process, and explain why.

Discuss any ethical considerations.

Clearly describe the key points of each area, supporting each step with citations to your course text as well as peer-reviewed studies that directly align with the key areas discussed.
