Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data Explained Clearly: The Research Mistake That’s Ruining Your Paper

What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data? How do you know which type of evidence your research paper actually needs? In this lecture, Dr. Whitney Kosters, Professor of English, explains qualitative vs quantitative data in clear, practical terms and shows why confusing the two is one of the most common reasons student research papers feel weak even when the sources are credible. Many papers struggle not because of poor effort, but because the type of data being used cannot support the type of claim being made. This video explains: The difference between qualitative and quantitative data What quantitative data can prove and what it cannot What qualitative data can explain and where its limits are Why statistics cannot explain motivation or lived experience Why interviews and anecdotes cannot establish scale or prevalence How mixed methods research works when used intentionally A step by step process to align your research question, claim, and evidence If you're writing a research paper, argumentative essay, literature review, or professional report, this lecture will help you avoid overstating evidence and mismatching data. Strong academic writing depends on matching the right type of data to the right type of claim.
