Feedback:
Quantitative researchers specify a research design before collecting even one piece of data, and rarely depart from that design once the study is underway: they design and then they do. In qualitative research, by contrast, the study design typically evolves during the project: qualitative researchers design as they do. Statistical analysis is not performed and ethics approval is necessary. Surveys are sometimes, but not always, used.
