October 3, 2007

Good work in class today. I'm glad to see how quickly we jumped back into new material. Remember to finish up those surveys for class if you have not yet already. Here is what we covered today;
Survey Research (Political Polls, Market Research, & Evaluation Research)
Element, Target Population, Sampling Frame, & Sample
3 Deficiencies in a sample frame
Ecological Fallacy
Estimating Response Rate (Locatability, Cooperation, & Eligibility)
I know we discussed sampling in class and had an group activity, but I really want to make sure everybody understands. So, for posting, develop a line of research. Then, define the element, the target population and the sampling frame.
