Sampling Procedures

If money were not an issue, i would use the quota sampling method. It is not too expensive and depending on the type of research you are doing it can be much more helpful. Using the quota method, you will target specific proportions of the population which can help you to determine problems within different segments, with more emphasis on chosen segments.

We will be using the simple random sampling method for our research, since we will be randomly picking students on campus and each student has an equal chance of walking by to get selected.

Bad Questionnaire

Problem #1- The first problem with this questionnaire is that it is completely geared towards college students. If you gave this survey to someone who is not enrolled in college you are wasting their time as well as your own. The first question should be asked to would be participants prior to taking the survey

Problem #2- Question # 3 is almost a good question, but the people taking the questionnaire may become confused by the lack of information given for the grading scale it uses. You can rate it "Fun" or "Boring" but their is not scale to judge how much you are in between these two feelings toward your campus.

Problem #3- Question 5 has a limited number of closed answers for responses. Many people dislike many more things about their car that is offered for an answer. The question could be made better with an option of "other" and a blank line to specify what.
