Convergence: Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods in English Studies for Undergraduate English Majors

Abstract

Abstract: No doubt the concept of "Writing Intensive" (WI) courses is familiar. In addition to WI, our institution also requires "Quantitative Intensive" (QI) courses for graduation, based on the belief that literacy in numbers is also important for professionals and an educated citizenry. In essence, QI means math/stat across the curriculum, paralleling writing across the curriculum. Each department is to have on the books a QI course that demonstrates how numbers apply to the field.
