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:
_______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________

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.
