Sampling techniques in research

Due: Sunday night at 11:59pm Mountain Time In this assignment, you will create a PowerPoint Presentation (PPP) that reflects on your proposed problem of interest and evaluates sampling techniques that would create a meaningful study pertaining to this problem. Step 1: Reflect on your proposed research question or problem of interest. Step 2: Consider different sampling techniques. Think about how you would compare and contrast the following sampling techniques: Simple Random Sample Stratified Random Sample Cluster Random Sample Systematic Random Sample Consider which of these sampling techniques you might employ for your research study. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Step 3: Consider who your audience might be if you were to deliver your PPP in person. What would you want them to know about this topic? What would you expect them to already know? Step 4: Create a 6-8-slide PPP that that evaluates and briefly summarizes the various sampling techniques listed in Step 2. Does not include title or reference slide. Describe the sampling technique(s) you will use in your research and explain how your choice of sampling technique(s) will help you to create a meaningful study cohort. Address the following questions in your PPP: Who/what will your proposed sample consist of? How will subjects be recruited? Are there any special considerations about your population of interest that might pose barriers to obtaining a sample? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the sampling method(s) you plan to use? What potentials for error and bias related to sampling exist? Step 5: Review your PPP to ensure that you are using best practices for formatting slides. Include a title slide and summary slide. Avoid making slides too text heavy or dense with text. As a guideline, limit text on each slide to six bullet points of six words each. Must use graphics and color. Be sure that they are professional, reinforce your points, and are not used merely for decoration. Be sure to add what you would say if delivering the PPP to a live audience in the notes section of each slide. Make sure that the format of your PPP is professional and visually attractive. Cite any sources in 7th ed. APA format on the slide or in the speaker notes. Be sure to prove your research. If you list a reference, you need to show where you used that reference. If you summarize, paraphrase, or quote a source and do not show where you used it, it is plagiarism. Step 6: When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy of the paper to your instructor.
