Q2. What are descriptive research designs? Explain the
different kinds of descriptive research designs.
Answer: Types of Descriptive Research
Descriptive
research is commonly used in social sciences to study characteristics or
phenomenon’s. Also known as statistical research, researchers look into the

Q5.
Explain the any three types of comparative and non-comparative scales
of each in detail.
Answer. A
comparative scale is an ordinal or rank order scale that can also be referred to as a
nonmetric scale. Respondents evaluate
two or more objects at one time and objects are directly compared with one
another as part of the measuring process.
For example you could ask someone if they prefer listening to MP3s
through a Zune or an iPod. You could take it a step further and add some other
MP3 player brands to the comparison. MP3
players would be scaled relative to each other and the scale position of any
one player would depend on the the scale position of the remaining
players. Because they are being compared
differences such as who has the click wheel are effectively forced.
Q6. Explain the Structure of the Research Report. What are
the guidelines for effective report writing? Answer: There are several ways on how you can identify the
kind of research papers. If you are considering the manner on how you analyze
your researched data, the two types of research are quantitative research paper
and qualitative. Meanwhile, if you are taking into account the type of voice
you are using in discussing your information, the two fundamental kinds of
research paper are informative paper and Argumentative research paper. Another
way of identifying the type of research paper is the research paper topics of
choice
