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).

receive instruction by attending a class with a teacher. With respect to this study, we could identify that:
This study is good due to the equal sample size in each group. This study is good because we have minimized sampling error. This study is poor because the researcher did not use random sampling. This study is poor because the researcher used random sampling. 2 / 2 pts
