I am officially one of the biggest dorks I know

Posted Date: : Mar 18, 2008 12:43 AMMy last "bulletin" proves it -  But I really need help on this.  Please advise your wisdom even if it’s following class tomorrow.

Anyone have a definitive answer? I need logical rationale. 

I suppose I could look it up in a text book as on-line help is not readily available...

But do you happen to know the difference between qualitative and non-quantitative?  Is it merely syntactics?  Does the government choose to use "Non-quantitative" instead of qualitative like they use public affairs instead of the outlawed "public relations/information"?

Arghhhh.   I understand that non-quantitative data includes videos or transcripts coded into numbers making it quantifiable on a more objective level. Which I guess would make sense.  Especially since government officials seem to be lacking qualitative measure ;p

I understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative.  I think I understand the difference between quantitative and non-quantitative data.  But does qualitative research coded as a quantitative measure, making it thus non-quantitative (but not necessarily qualitative) make sense?  Is this an ad hoc fallacy? 

I’m a crappy instructor if I can’t figure this out by tomorrow.  Hopefully I’m just tired! 

Feel free to send the answer to my work addy, or call,  if you figure it out after 7 a.m.

Thanks!
