Which qualitative research tradition involves the discovery of a core variable that is central in explaining what is going on in a social science?

ANAME:
Answer each of the 10 select-all-that-apply questions and create a brief rationale for every answer to each question, whether or not it is correct. Do not just repeat the answer. Provide a brief (1 – 2 sentence), original, accurate reason why the answer is correct or incorrect. Bold correct responses for each question. Answers can be found in the text, class slides and weekly readings. This is similar to an ATI practice assessment with questions/rationales except YOU are creating the rationales. Do not use a “Homework helper” site (such as Chegg) – this is exam prep and not homework.

See example in BB for an example question to assist you with completing the Worksheet.

During the final exam class you will come to Zoom class and in Week 15 Module in BB enter your letter answers (A,B,C,D) into a test and upload your completed copy of this Worksheet in SafeAssign. BOTH are required to receive credit. Note that copied/shared/plagiarized content will result in a zero grade.
Simple, original answers are required.
