Favorite NHS athletic team to root for: Research question: What autumn athletic team draws the most fan
attendance? A qualitative approach may include interviews with students not
currently involved in seasonal athletics (to avoid bias), and determine
conclusions based upon the reasoning provided by the sample population; a
quantitative approach may include the researcher’s effort to count the number
of fans for a game of each sport for several weeks, ultimately examining the
ratio between the number of athletic participants and the number of fans.

1) How can you correct teacher’s workload?
It could look as a qualitative presentation because you could interview teachers and the people that give the workloads to experience both sides of the story. It could also be quantitative by doing a survey to ask how they handle workloads if they want more or less workload.
2) What are the students attitudes concerning Edline?
A way to present this information in a qualitative form you could interview the students by asking what the efficiency is and good or negative input of Edline. For quantitative you could count the number of people that use Edline on a daily basis.
3) What are your attitudes toward the new school renovations?
A qualitative form to use to answer this question is to look around the school and see how people respect or appreciate the school. A quantitative is to ask people that come to the school what they think it was like compared to a year or two years ago.
4) Do students have a lot of political affiliations outside of school?
The qualitative is to ask lots of people if they know anything about the government or if they know anything at all. And then quantitative is to have a survey of the government.
5) How do students decide to choose their electives?
A qualitative approach would be to go into all of the electives and ask people what made them want this subject. A quantitative approach would be to interview all the elective teachers and see what percentage seem interested in the class.
6) Do you think seating charts affect academic performance?
A qualitative could be to ask for a class with a seating chart and one with not a seating chart to give their class’s average grade and see which one is better. A quantitative is to ask serious students which they think works better for them.
7) What is the difference between the Mansfied and Norton freshman volleyball team?

1) How are the teachers’ changing the work load effecting students academics?

A qualitative approach would be interviewing the students and getting their opinion on homework and if they think that they receive too much.
2) Do students who use Edline more concerned with their grades with the students who do not?
If this was to be a quantitative experiment then I would ask two students who do and do not use Edline to give me their grades and percentages for the semester.

A qualitative experiment would be talking to a group of students and getting their opinion on whether or not having an Edline makes them more aware of their grades.

5) How do the electives that students pick tell something about their personalities?
A quantitative experiment would be asking students in certain classes why they choose that certain elective and if they had any real interest in it.

6) How do seating charts effect a students ability to learn?
A quick qualitative experiment would be having a teacher let the students choose their seats for a day & then do a quick head count on how many people are actually laying attention. Then the next day have the teacher choose the seats and then do another head count on who is paying attention. A quantitative experiment would be asking the opinions of the students on whether or not sitting next to their friends effected their grades.

Many students simply do not care about views on politics.
5. How students choose electives
Students chose electives on how fun they are and how much work they estimate and is required for them to take that class or consider taking that class.
Other students chose electives on how helpful it will be to their future and they want the best ones possible whether they be hard or not.
6. How seating charts affect academic performance
Seating charts tend to make students more focused on their work due to uninterest to the students located near them.
Nowadays, people tend to be put in seating charts, which from my experience, have made me more focused on the class rather than who I am seated nearby or next to.
