1. Quantitative Assessment 2500 – Select 3 quantitative papers from your research area and critically appraise the research methods adopted. I would advise choosing papers that are of subject interest to you. This assessment should be a review of the three papers and the use of methods that they have adopted. The assessment should take the form of an annotated bibliography – which is similar to a review. 2500 words in total. You can add a short Introduction (around 300 words) to explain your topic selection and the importance of your topic, followed by a detailed review of the three selected papers.

For this paper, you are supposed to select three quantitative research papers on a topic of your choice (should be approved before you start) then you will be required to critically appraise their research methods (not the results) just the methods used in data collection and analysis. I have attached an example to guide you through (it would help if we have worked on such papers before though). For this paper, you must choose three quantitative research papers on a topic of your choice (which must be approved before you begin), and then critically appraise their research methods (not the results), only the methods used in data collection and analysis. I’ve attached an example to help you along (it would help if we have worked on such papers before though).
