Internal Code: 1HHDA

Briefing Document Writing Assignment

Task: You are to prepare a Briefing Document that will address mixed methods research – what it is, why is it used, what the different strategies and design types are, and what its strengths and limitations are. The agency would also like more information on the principles of fieldwork, analysis and writing up; therefore, the Briefing Document should also reflect on key considerations for the global social research program in terms of fieldwork, analysis and reporting. The Briefing Document should conclude with a critical summary that ‘makes the case for’ mixed methods research and that highlights the key considerations for undertaking the research program.
