Step 1: Build optimal and adjusted nonprobability sampling plans for your research question.

Step 2: Determine which sampling plan applies:

 If your optimal sampling plan is a nonprobability sample → use your research question to build a nonprobability sampling plan.

 If your optimal sampling plan is a probability sample → identify one or two sub-questions related to your research question that could be addressed using a nonprobability sample (i.e., that relates to cultural data).

Step 3: Select the optimal nonprobability sampling plan (quota, purposive, convenience, or snowball). Justify your decision.

Step 4: Describe your optimal plan for recruiting key informants: what their attributes would be and where you would recruit them. If your optimal sampling plan was a quota sample, include a sampling grid. Justify your decision.

Step 5: Consider your time and resource constraints in this class. Adjust the nonprobability sample you will use for your class project. Justify your decision. Explain how this will limit the accuracy of your conclusions.

Step 6: Describe how you plan to adjust recruiting key informants you will use for your class project (when you conduct interview research). Explain how this will limit the accuracy of your conclusions.
