what does qualitively mean? (1 Viewer)

[unmentionable]

as opposed to quantitively
i keep on getting them confused

oh and if it sez "identify and list two secondary sources..."
do the sources have to be different types eg a website and a book etc?
or can they be both like websites?
thanks

LOL i had trouble with this as well during year 12!

quantitively = quantity = think amount or number
qualitively = quality = think characteristic or a feature; a property...

thats how i remembered it...

i hope that helps!

Qualitatively = using words
Quantitively = using numbers

OR simply

Qualitatively = describe using comparisons and descriptions
Quantitively = describe using numbers and equations

quantitatively: do a calculation

qualitatively: jus keep BS-ing along...

as for the sources thing... we had to ask our school whether 2 websites would be alright and normally they'd say no, but if it was an online version of an actual printed source (eg. a fact sheet) then that was allowed. best to check with your school to make sure though ;D
