Compare and contrast qualitative and quantitative. For each approach, discuss: 1) What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach? 2) What major research questions can this approach address? 3) What is the type of sampling and the data that is collected? 4) Find a journal article that uses this approach and discuss. 5) How does mixed methods approach bridge the gaps?
