Consider the specific language designated by GCU as indicative of qualitative research. Write a paper (1,500-1,750 words) in which you discuss the data sources and data analysis options for conducting your proposed dissertation research study using a qualitative descriptive design. Include the following in your discussion:

1. State the problem statement, purpose statement, and research questions you drafted for conducting your potential research study as a qualitative descriptive study during the previous course.
2. A description of potential data sources for the study. Use language appropriate to a qualitative descriptive design.
3. A description of potential data analysis approaches for the study. Use language appropriate to a qualitative descriptive design.
4. Adiscussion of how well these potential data sources and analysis approaches align with the previously developed qualitative descriptive components of the potential research study.
5. An analysis of the fit and alignment of this design to the proposed problem statement, purpose statement, research questions, data sources, and data analysis approaches. Do you believe this is a reasonable design for addressing your study topic? Why or why not?
