Synthesis: Read the two sample papers Creswell attached to chapter 1. One is quantitative research, and the other one is qualitative research. Identify three to four differences between quantitative research and qualitative research after reading these two samples. Please include specific examples from these two sample articles when addressing the differences. Synthesis & Reflection: In chapter 2 of Creswell, he discussed the difference between a “practical research problem” and a “research-based research problem”. What are the differences between these two? Do you think we need both types of problems? Which one do you think may contribute more to informing your own research?
