This Exam is to test your knowledge about the different types of methods used in research. These
methods include elements of quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, and single-subject methods and
analysis.
Your Exam will consist of 25 randomly-selected multiple-choice questions.
You can take this exam up to three times (you can take it only once or twice if you are satisfied with
your score).
Each iteration of the exam will be randomized (i.e., the first exam will not look exactly like the
previous exam).
Your last exam submitted by the due date will be your final score (i.e., it is not your highest or the
average, but rather the last attempt).
EXAM: QUANTITATIVE, QUALITATIVE,
MIXED METHODS, SINGLE-SUBJECT METHODS

The first group receives instruction via a PowerPoint presentation that is online. The second group
attends a class and receives instruction from a teacher face to face. The researcher classifies the
students based on when they volunteer for the study. The first 50 students who volunteer receive online
instruction. The next 50 receive instruction by attending a class with a teacher. With respect to this study,
we could identify that:
