research plan

This discussion assignment asks you to create and explain a simple research study plan using concepts from:

  • Sampling methods (probabilistic vs. non-probabilistic)
  • Research designs (observational, case study, or archival)

What You Have to Do

Part 1:
Choose:

  • A research topic (short phrase)
  • A research question (one clear sentence)
  • One research design (observational, case study, or archival)
  • One specific sampling method (e.g., convenience, simple random, stratified, etc.)

Part 2:
Use AI to simulate an interview where the AI acts as a journalist and you act as the researcher.
The AI will ask you questions about:

  • Why you chose your design
  • Who your target population is
  • Why your sampling method makes sense
  • What data you will collect
  • How you will measure your key variable
  • What basic analysis you would use
  • One limitation of your study

You must paste the full conversation (no summaries).

Part 3:
After the interview, answer 5 short reflection questions (12 sentences each) in your own words. These questions ask you to evaluate your design, sampling, weaknesses, limits, and what you learned.

Part 4:
Post everything in ONE discussion board post, in this exact order:

  1. Topic
  2. Research question
  3. Design
  4. Sampling method
  5. Full AI interview
  6. Reflection answers (15)
  7. AI attribution statement

Requirements: good
