Sympathize with the other person. Arouse in the other person an eager want. Appeal to noble motives. Become genuinely interested in other people. Dramatize your ideas. Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Throw down a challenge. Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. Call attention to other people's mistakes indirectly. Talk in the terms of the other man’s interest. Talk about your own mistakes first. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Let the other person save face. Avoid arguments. Praise every improvement. Never tell someone they are wrong Give them a fine reputation to live up to If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. Encourage them by making their faults seem easy to correct. Begin in a friendly way. Start with questions the other person will answer yes to. Let the other person do the talking. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest. Let the other person feel the idea is his/hers.

Key Concepts of Sampling Target Population: The total specifically defined set of people about whom you want to gather information. Sampling Frame: A subset of the population to be surveyed Sample—those who respond Random: Each member of the target population has an equal chance of being in the sample Students need to understand this better

EX. 4.2 Three Methods of Contact Coplin Coplin Mail or Email Phone Ask for Pros and Cons of each *To encourage competiton* ASK: What is the response rate for each? …IF THEY READ CHAPTER 4 THEY SHOULD KNOW! Face-to-Face

EX. 4.3 Estimating Sample Size Required contacts = Desired sample size Expected response rate For example, if you desire a sample size of 250, and you expect a response rate of 40%, the following formula shows that you would need to contact 625 individuals: Stress the formula more and that students must estimate and justify the response 625 = 250 .40 Policy in Action pg. 53-57
