Doing Ethnographic Research. Kimberly Kirner

a small group (three to four colleagues), review your optimal and adjusted sampling plans. The group should focus on giving each person points for improvement for each of the plans. Write one point for improvement for each of the plans below:

       Improvement for optimal nonprobability sampling plan:

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

       Improvement for adjusted nonprobability sampling plan:

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

       Improvement for optimal probability sampling plan:

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

       Improvement for adjusted probability sampling plan:

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      _______________________________________________________

      Problem 5

      Using peer feedback, rewrite your nonprobability and probability sampling plans in their final, strongest, and clearest form. Be sure to identify each of the problems and write your responses in full sentences.

      1 Did your approach to these activities involve a series of actions or steps you determined to complete each one? How did you determine the sequence of steps?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

      2 How did you determine which strategy would be most helpful to complete each activity?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

      3 What is the “muddiest” point in this chapter? In other words, what is least clear to you? Or, what questions do you still have?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
