Good work getting right back into the swing of things. I really enjoyed the questions in today's class (I'm not a mind reader so if something is confusing, PLEASE ask). Here is what we covered;
3 Types of Survey Research (Political, Market, & Evaluation)
Basic Concepts of Sampling (Element, Target Population, Survey Population, Sampling Frame, and Sample)
3 Types of Deficiencies in a sample frame (Foreign, Duplicate, and Missing Elements)
Response Rate (including Locatability, Cooperation, and Eligibility Rate)
Longitudinal Designs (Trend, Cohort, and Panel)
Phrasing Questions
Question for thought;
Let us review our basic concepts of sampling. For posting, select a topic of interest and include a target population, survey population, sampling frame, and a final sample.
For example,
I am interested in Golfer's prejudices/ stereotypes of other golfers.

Survey Population- 8 North East Ohio Private Clubs Members
Sampling Frame- Membership list from Barrington, Sebring, Twin Lakes, Union, Avon Oaks, Spring Valley, Canterbury, and Shaker Heights
