Design a Focused Survey Template

Your Name

Date

Instructions: Record your responses on the template below each question and submit your completed template to the appropriate assessment. Do not change any of the items on the template except to add or delete space.

1. State the population of your study. You should be able to do this in one to three sentences. Include specific characteristics including age range, gender, location, and any other identifiers that are unique and relevant to your population.

I intent to use 200 students for my research data. This will have no limitations in age or any other factor but only being a student. This number was chosen because it reflects the limit of our budget and the time we have to distribute our questionnaire to students.

2. Describe your sampling strategy. Write at least one paragraph describing your sampling strategy, how you would attempt to conduct your survey, and any potential issues that might affect your survey results. You should use one of the following techniques: random, stratified, cluster, systematic, or convenience. Your choice of strategy should be based on the purpose of your survey and your population.

This study will involve a random selection method in which I will select any student without his/her awareness. I will apply this so as to ensure that I do get the real answers but not answers that one had prepared for. Also it’s due to the amount of time hence this will help me not to collect the sample but all will be equal opportunities to be selected. The representativeness will be balanced too.

Provide your survey questions, minimums, maximums, and typical responses: Follow the guidelines in the courseroom for the Designing a Focused Survey Assessment (u01a2).
