◉ Quasi-Experimental Research Design. Answer: uses an intervention
and comparison groups. an experiment that does not require random
assignment, more support for casual interferences
,◉ Pre-Experimental Research Design. Answer: contain intervention
groups only and lack comparison/ control groups, making them the
weakest

treatment (intervention)
