Hello there!
Overall, insightful reflections about this week’s theme!
First off, I have to concur that quantitative methods did not turn out to be as easily defined or determined as initially believed. I too had a feeling beforehand what was which but when actually trying to make a distinction, where the line goes, it was pretty blurry. Even though, as you to claim, you can often sense what method is dominant in any research, I feel that there is almost always occurring elements from the other one as well. Thus it seems fairly rare that a research is purely one or the other.
The "wicked problem" is an interesting one which we also discussed during our seminar. It is a problem that we as engineers can find slightly disturbing since it is hard to get a clear and representative answer from it.
