  • Qualitative- obtains more holistic picture
• Quantitative research

• Qualitative research


  Reveals a target audience's range of behavior and the perceptions that drive it with reference to specific topics or issues
• Research Proposal


  An academic work that aims to persuade people that the researchers have the integral skills and work plan to complete a research
• Characteristics of a Good Research Proposal

  • Coherent
  • Unified
  • Enthralling
• Researchers should avoid topics that are too broad, too technical, too constrained in resource materials, and too time-consuming
• Research Problem


  A universal statement that ensures the rudiments of research
• Statement of the Problem
