Topic 2: According to its Own Design: Research Design Methodology

Last time out, research fans, we actually "skipped a step" in the sequential discussion of proposal subheadings. I had "hit" the "Population and Sampling" discussion in Qualitative, & so I decided to cover it with you, as well.

But "Population and Sampling" is but one subpart of the overall master plan: research design and procedures. The "who" (or more grammatically correct, with whom) of population and sampling is generally preceded by the "how:" the blueprint, or design methodology. That will be our major topic this time out!
