-Compare the differences between qualitative versus quantitative research method providing comparisons concerning techniques, operation, methods, sources, and constructed theory.
-Assess the development of theory explaining how theory is formulated and evaluate the various types of methods needed to construct sound qualitative (nomological) metaphors and paradigms compared to the quantitative aspects of hypotheses design and the scientific methods used to build different types of theories.
-Recommend what research tools provide best practice in the identification, acquisition, evaluation, and application of different data types, outlining survey methods, use of primary versus secondary data and how third part data sources can augment both quantitative and qualitative research. Judge best sources of journals, the quality of these journals, and why these journals make the best primary sources of research.
-What is a new theory process and evaluate each stage in the theory development as described above offering critique to best practice in building new paradigms and hypotheses.
-Finally assess the concepts of truth in the scientific research process and how researchers must deal with truth in the structuring of new or extended theories providing proofs to the new theory compared to the definitions of truth.
