Document Summary
3 sections: 25 multiple choice, 10 true or false, 5 short answer. Asking in order to find answers, or to make inflammatory statements with polarizing answers. Sampling and determined different ways of selecting people for our research. After we have determined how we will select people and which people will be. One way of doing this is to administer to a survey or a questionnaire to them selected, we have to figure out how to get some information from them (i. e. /method) Surveys ask people about their beliefs, opinions, characteristics, and behaviours. Can be conducted in-person (structured interview), over the telephone, by mail (questionnaire), or online (email, website, etc. ) Respondents are generally chosen through probability sampling procedures (through some non-probability methods are possible) Systematic questionnaire or interview procedures-same formula for all involved. A lack of flexibility for those in the minority. Can be used for descriptive, explanatory, and explanatory research purposes.
