Explain why this topic would be best approached from a qualitative perspective. This goes back to the Week 1 assignment that focused on reasons for using qualitative research.

Identify the research problem and explain which design would be most appropriate for that problem. This goes back to Week 2 assignment that differentiated between the designs and when they are appropriate.

Discuss why other qualitative approaches would not be appropriate, and present your rationale for your approach. Explain thoroughly why the qualitative method and the design you have chosen are correct given the topic and problem. How do they align?
