Determining anAppropriate ResearchDesignConsider the research question that you are proposing, and thinkabout which design(s) would be appropriate as you develop yourproposal. Think about the population you are researching, andwhether this warrants one of these experimental designs, andwhether your project is considered qualitative, quantitative, or amixed methods (combination of quantitative and qualitative)approach.Initial post focus on:· Identifying the most appropriate design (quantitative,qualitative, or mixed methods).

Thisdiscussion will serve as the foundation for your Methods sectionlater in the course.Treat this like any other discussion board: submit your initial postand respond to at least two of your peers
