February 21
Good work this week rebounding from the unexpected day off. I look forward to grading your tests and should have results posted on vista before Saturday. This week, we covered,
Different types of Survey research,
Key terms in sampling
Deficiencies in a sample frame
How to determine a response rate
Longitudinal studies
For posting this week, I would like you to come up with a hypothetical research project. State either a hypothesis or research question. Then, I want you to walk through the sampling procedure. State what your target population would be, a survey population, and finally your sampling frame.

Target Population: All students and staff that go to school at Kent or work at Kent.

Note: To avoid the problem of duplicates which is one of the deficiencies in a sample frame, I would check for names that appear under both student and staff because some students also work for Kent State so they would show up under both staff and students.
