A study is only experimental if it meets strict methodological requirements. Mislabeling it as experimental invites criticism and can get your dissertation rejected by committee. Know the actual definition before you call it that.
So if you have an experimental design, that can be a very powerful study if you can truly meet the requirements of an experimental design. If you aren't meeting the requirements and you're saying it's an experimental design, you're going to get criticism from many people, and it's going to be hard for a committee to approve. So understanding the parameters of a design like this are highly important for you reaching your goal and finishing.
