While working with combining quantitative and qualitative findings, it can be hard often because they both speak different languages. Trying to find a way to use them at the same time is important because it can be interpretive to try to get the two together to tell a story in a way. Trying to bring the two together, you do not want the qualitative findings to overpower the quantitative findings when using them together in work. It is also hard just having to find the perfect balance between the two findings with either making sure they are both being talked about at the same level.  

Making me look at the problem from multiple angles can help with shifting one’s mind into thinking in more of a bigger way. Making sure you check the work is also important because a lot of work does not need both findings to be used together. Being able to look at the problem differently pushes people away from their views on one issue to being able to see multiple issues.  

I would make sure I double check all my work before submitting the work and even ask for help when I do not understand the work. Even when it comes to making sure someone proofreads my work as well, I could have done that too to see if I was using the findings right and adding it correctly to my assignment. Making sure that I am putting the findings and using them in real life scenarios.  

1. Alumni Survey from 2001, Michigan Satisfaction Survey 

2. Alumni Survey: the purpose of the survey is to see who is enjoying their jobs after graduation and what the people are doing after graduation as well. Graduates is the target audience. There are quantitative questions being asked. 

Michigan Satisfaction Survey: the purpose of the sruvey is in total of the employee, food pantry client, client, staff, and stakeholder satisfaction survey. People over the age 18 is the target audience. There are quantitative questions being asked. 

3. I’ve seen in the SIUE survey you can tell they were asking more questions to the graduates asking them about rather they are working, which state they are working at and even if they are enjoying what they are doing and their salary income. Michigan survey is asking different surveys to the people rather than if it to emergency, their jobs, even the food pantry and even clients and staff workers. These surveys differ is the different target audiences that is being asked in the surveys with the different questions that they want to know about. I had questions on why did Michigan add different satisfation surveys into one survey?. A poorly written question on a survey can make a huge difference because it can change the number percentage that they are trying to find in the survey.
