Question
I am working on investigating University students' perception regarding their instructors feedback by using survey 5 degrees (SA - SDA), and open ended questions for qualitative data. I am planning to compare experiment group (they have attended our training programs) with control group of instructors (have not attended any program related to feedback), we have the names for those have attended.
Remember that my sample students for both groups of instructors.
my question:
How to select the sample?
Thank you.
