In chapter 6 of Cozy and Bates (2015), quantitative method and qualitative method are discussed. Remember both are part of the scientific method as each examines problems but with different processes.

In chapter 5 of Erford (2015), discusses qualitative research and chapter 6 discusses specific designs for each method.

In chapter 7 of Erford (2015), discusses quantitative designs in conjunction with sampling.

Having read this from two different authors there is likely an author that explained it in a way that makes the most sense to you.

Using any of the readings discuss your understanding of the quantitative method as compared to the qualitative method.

Having thought about your research question in week one, in week two having thought about measurable variables, and now having read more about the quantitative method and qualitative method. List here thoughts of your research.

What design will you use e.g. correlation (note the final project requires a quantitative study as it is required to do a hypothetical statistical analysis which is part of the quantitative method), and how will you survey the population being studied? If any of my questions are confusing list here what you feel you know, and ask questions for the muddiest points.
