This workshop will introduce strategies for designing a mixed methods research study: participants will be introduced to when they are appropriate, what unique strengths they offer, and what challenges they can introduce as well as different techniques of combining qualitative and quantitative data. This workshop will also consider how to report findings, including integrating findings from multiple data sources, how a researcher assesses what their materials teach them, and how they can compile and present those findings to make their case, as well as how to respond to criticisms.
