You have been tasked by TU Delft to administer a survey to first year MSc students on the perceived study-life balance. This survey is intended for the first year MSc students of all faculties within TU Delft. Describe how you will define the different strata within your target populations and what aspects will you consider while conducting stratified random sampling to ensure less bias and error in survey responses?

Imagine that you and your friend have been tasked with the analysis of interview data. The interview was conducted with high-school teachers about the perceived relevance of a NEW smart awareness tool that can inform them about the levels of attention and fatigue of students in classroom. In this way, the teachers can potentially better self-regulate their teaching pace. Since, this is an entirely new product which has not been tested or analyzed in any other context, and assuming that no theoretical frameworks exist to explain the phenomena, which coding approach would you use (Emergent or A Priori) and why? Also illustrate the different stages of the coding process that you will follow.
What is the primary objective of grounded theory in qualitative research?
To test pre-existing hypotheses and theories.
To establish causal relationships between variables.
To generate new theories and conceptual frameworks based on data.
To confirm the validity of existing theories through empirical evidence.
Which of the following statements best describes Cohen’s Kappa in the context of inter-rater reliability?

Cohen’s Kappa measures the correlation between raters’ scores on a continuous scale.
Cohen’s Kappa measures the difference in ratings provided by different raters.
