• Plagiarism
- act of copying another person’s work, ideas…

Quantitative
• Focus is scientific and tends to be
objective and more structured as it
aims to examine trends, themes, and
patterns.
• Research questions can be answered
by conducting experiments under
controlled conditions.
• Data is obtained by experimentation.
• Data analysis is deductive as it
involves numerical analysis using
statistical or other mathematical
methods to test the hypothesis.
• Results of the study are measurable.
