Note: You must complete and receive feedback on this assessment before moving on to submit Assessment 5.

Locate two scholarly articles in the Capella library. One article should be about a true experiment and the other about a quasi-experiment. Carefully review both articles for use in this assessment.

Write a 3–4 page assessment comparing the similarities and differences of the following items in the research studies:

• The research question (hypothesis), design, and findings.
• The sample: What are the differences in sampling between the two different studies?
• The methodology: How did the methodology (pre-experimental versus experimental) differ between the two studies?
• The findings.

Be sure to include details about the defining features of each study. What makes it either experimental or pre-experimental? In the case of the pre-experimental design, why was this design necessary?
