Sociological Research Methods

Surveys are an example of quantitative research because the information received can be easily converted into numbers/statistics.

 A prime example of qualitative research is this interview, which is done face-to-face. Communicating with someone to gather information, thoughts, and opinions is much more effective because you receive a deeper insight on whatever happened.

 A newspaper is an example of an existing source because they have information that's been collected by other researchers.

 

This is an example of an experiment conducted to figure out which battery life lasts the longest. It includes control groups, independent and dependent variables, and a hypothesis. 

The overview of research methods show that the amount of time an individual dedicates to her/his studies will be obvious on their next exam. If one doesn't procrastinate and starts studying a week before, they'll do fine!
