Discussion Question 1: Experimental and Non-experimental Design

Research is typically experimental or non-experiment in design. It is important for the investigator to know the difference.

Give an example of a question you would attempt to answer using experimental design and one using non-experimental design. Design two research questions. Write one for an experimental design, and one for a non-experimental design. What makes each research design question different from the other? Review the criteria for each.
