I’m confused! I thought all these options were related to data analysis, but I guess only one is qualitative. I’ll have to double-check my notes.

Ugh, I hate these questions that mix qualitative and quantitative methods. It's always tricky to remember which is which. I'm going to have to review my notes on the differences before the exam.
JE
Jerry 9 months ago
Process observations for sure. That's the only choice that doesn't involve numerical data or statistical analysis, which are typically quantitative approaches. I feel good about selecting that one.
MA
Margurite 9 months ago
Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know qualitative methods are more descriptive, but I'm not totally confident in distinguishing them from quantitative techniques like the ones listed. I'll have to think this through carefully.
FE
