constituencies’ understandings.
False - Weakness

Empirical research
it is when a researcher completes his study, states his findings, draws conclusions, and in his recommendations, several studies may be conducted.
Cyclical research
it is when a researcher has a careful and precise interpretation of the result
Analytical research
When the success and failures of the study conducted ultimately lie in the researcher
Intellectual honesty
is a potential limitation of research that relies heavily on surveys
and questionnaires for data collection. AND challenge might researchers face when conducting extensive
interviews and surveys
WHAT CAN BE DEDUCED THAT QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH?
large number of respondents
there are more respondents than qualitative research, the expenses will be greater in reaching
out to these people and reproducing questionnaires.
WHAT CAN BE DEDUCED THAT QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH?
costly
