• More sources make hypothesis stonger

Question 2

• single approach is not sufficeint
• Finding can be enhanced
• qualative results can help support qunatative reuslts
• multiple phases that are used

Question 3

Mixed Method Designs Concurrent + SEQ

Answer 3

Concurrent: Quan and qual occur at same time
Sequential: occur in phases or one sudy finsh before second happens
** is a priority
COncurrent: QUAN/ QUAL, QUAL/qual, QUAL/quan
Seq: QUAN-> QUAL, QUAL+ quan

-> ocurrs in second phase, same time is +

Question 4

Convergent
