Try to use as many as you can or just what's easiest

I'm sure your teachers will tell you the different types of sampling methods you can use for data collection. Our College was quite good in arranging a small trip to a place where we did a practice of different types of data collections, like fieldwork. Not that exciting but imo helped a lot.

In terms of sampling, there's a variety of them. There's stratified and strategic sampling. These two are the main ones, probs the only ones I remember (lol) I had used in my nea coursework. But I'm sure your teachers will go through them. If not, then I recommend watching videos on the different types of sampling strategies. Hope this helps and gl with your coursework! :smile:
