M2 Assignment 1: Research Sample Critique Discussion
Find “a” research article using the Argosy University online library resources that is on a topic of interest to you and that includes a sample from a clearly distinguished population (such as a voting group, a population of professionals, or employees in a large corporation). I’VE INCLUDED “TWO” ARTICLES YOU CAN PICK FROM, “ONLY” USE ONE OF THEM
Identify the sampling method (personal, phone, mail, or online) and your educated reasoning for why this technique was used. Give a very brief summary of the research and the findings (1–2 paragraphs) and then discuss the sampling strategy that was used. Be sure to include the kind of sample (random vs. nonrandom) and the specific type, e.g., stratified, purposive, etc. Then, provide a critique of the approach including advantages and disadvantages of their approach and how effective the sampling was for their research. Include the APA reference citation of the article you choose.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
