The purpose of this assignment is for you to identify basic methodological approaches and describe the general role of methods in building sociological knowledge. We will use Chapter 4 in Clergé’s book to accomplish this. 

 Write a professional 6-7 page paper typed and double-spaced. Keep your language formal and avoid contractions. If you work with an open-source word processor, create a PDF file before uploading your file. Remember that I will use this paper to assess your methodological knowledge so I need to see evidence that you know your methods. Do not summarize the different methods, do not invent new methods, do not use Wikipedia. You can use Bhattacherjee’s book or any other book on research methods commonly used in sociological research as a reference to identify which ones Clergé used in Chapter 4, and then discuss them in a critical way.
