Penulisan riset pada mahasiswa tingkat akhir merupakan hal yang wajib untuk dilakukan. Dalam penulisan riset mahasiswa perlu mengetahui perbedaaan antara metode penelitian kuantitatif dan kualitatif berdasarkan tujuan penelitian yang akan dicapai. Metode penelitian kuantitatif dilakukan untuk menguji hipotesis yang sudah ditentukan oleh peneliti, sedangkan metode penelitian kualitatif dilakukan untuk melakukan generalisasi makna dari fenomena komunikasi. Penelitian dilakukan bukan karena ingin menghindari angka-angka statistik secara kuantitatif atau penulisan makna yang mendalam pada metode penelitian kualitatif.
