This week you explored several types of quantitative research designs. Using the APUS Library, search for two peer reviewed journal articles that use a quantitative research design (experimental, survey research, etc.). Construct a 2-3 page paper comparing and contrasting the designs used in each study. How are the studies similar? How do they differ? Be sure to look closely at aspects like topic, research questions, sample size, analysis, etc. Finally, consider another quantitative research design that could have been used in the studies. How would the study have differed if another research design been used?
