Abstract:
Much of the material in the graduate survey sampling course is tedious to teach and learn. The classroom is enlivened and students are better able to use the concepts taught in the course when they have some experience applying it in real populations. This paper discusses some activities or mini-projects that can be used in the classroom to give students this experience without introducing come of the complexities associated with a full-scale project.
