Background
I need some assistance formulating my research question for the topic on adult learning. The focus is the challenges adult learners face returning to college those 25 or older to include how they are different than younger learners yet the educational environment instruct using the same methodologies as younger learners that are not working (teacher driven).

I need help with creating two prototype questions, both dealing with adult learning. The research questions should be labeled as to whether they are quantitative or qualitative and include an explanation as to why your research questions fit the criteria for one vs. the other.
