Exam 4: Comparing Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods of Inquiry

Mixed-methods studies cannot put an equal emphasis on both quantitative and qualitative methods; they must emphasize one or the other type of methods.

Problem formulation is the last phase of the research process in mixed-methods studies.

The completion of one phase in the research process often involves the need to loop back to earlier phases.
