Assess graduate students' understanding of design trade-offs and integration strategies in mixed-methods interdisciplinary research. Test ability to: identify common trade-offs (validity vs. generalizability, depth vs. breadth, resource and ethical constraints); distinguish integration approaches (convergent, explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, embedded); plan alignment of ontological/epistemological stances across disciplines; resolve methodological conflicts; and make concrete decisions about sampling, timing, weighting, and analytic procedures for integrating qualitative and quantitative data using brief applied scenarios.
