Answer to Question 2

Quantitative - Conceptualize variables by developing a clear, complete written conceptual definition for the core idea of each; Operationalize variables by creating specific activities to measure each. Gather empirical data using the specific measurement activities of the operational definition; this links data to the conceptual definition.

Qualitative - Gather empirical data and simultaneously think about concepts to organize and make sense of the data; While gathering data, be aware of processes to make sense of the data and thinking; Review and refine definitions and the descriptions of how the data was gathered and made sense of.
