Sampling Requests
This page documents the survey sampling assistance PBA
provides to CU-Boulder departments, and also serves as a source of information
on some of the campus surveys conducted outside of PBA. The list of surveys is
organized in descending chronological order. The oldest entries are from fall 2008, when PBA first started
tracking sampling assistance. Sub-directory
references, for PBA staff use only, are shown in parentheses at the end of each listing
(and all are located under ... IR\consult).
Student privacy. About 2% of degree-seeking
students request a privacy block on their records. All samples drawn by
PBA exclude students who have requested such a privacy block.
Offsetting of samples. In an effort to prevent
students, faculty, and staff from receiving an excessive number of
invitations to participate in surveys, PBA typically offsets the
samples for surveys that will be administered close together in time.
For example, the sample for Survey B might exclude all students who
were randomly selected for Survey A's sample. Because this
exclusion of students from Survey B's sample is a random process, the
sample's representativeness is unaffected; it will still be representative of the population of all students.
