Micropipettes are routinely used in biology and chemistry labs to transfer small volumes of liquids. Other instruments can also be used to measure liquids in the lab, but the micropipette is best to transfer very small quantities such as .001 mL (one microliter or 1 L.) You will save time and energy as well as gain confidence by completing the exercises that follow before you come into lab.
Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Research. This chapter is our introduction to the three research methodology paradigms. A. paradigm is a perspective based on a set of assumptions, concepts, and values that are. held by a community or researchers. For the most of the 20th century the quantitative. paradigm was dominant.
Qualitative Research. Qualitative research gathers information that is not in numerical form. For example, diary accounts, open-ended questionnaires, unstructured interviews and unstructured observations. Qualitative data is typically descriptive data and as such is harder to analyze than quantitative data.Qualitative research is useful for studies at the individual level, and to find out, in depth, the ways in which people think or feel (e.g. case studies).t is therefore more honest that researchers' attitudes and values should be acknowledged, and form part of the context of research. A good example of a qualitative research method would be unstructured and group interviews which generate qualitative data through the use of open questions.
