Essay/report describing the key survey features

The assessment for this module is a piece of coursework. For this assignment, you are asked to design a survey and write a 2,700-word essay/report describing the key survey features. In the essay you are asked to:

1. Choose a substantive research question and describe your target population. Note that you will not be evaluated on the quality of your research question, and thus, in this exercise, you are NOT expected to conduct a literature review to define an interesting and unaddressed question. For this section of the essay use this research question: Did the pandemic have an impact on university students’ mental health?

2. Conduct a review of existing national and international surveys, to identify whether they are a useful data source to answer your research question – you will refer to the data archives and websites of European Social Survey, Understanding Society The UK Household Longitudinal Study, Office for National Statistics. You will need to describe your database search and your findings in the essay. You may discover that you can answer your research question using data from an existing survey; if so, please report this finding, but, for the sake of this exercise, proceed with designing your own survey.

3. Describe and justify your sampling design.

4. Identify the data collection mode and justify your choice.

5. Describe and justify your contact strategy.

6. Design the questionnaire for data collection and include it in an appendix to your essay. Note: the questionnaire will not count towards the word limit. In the main body of your assignment, talk about how you designed your items and questionnaire, to demonstrate your understanding of good question and questionnaire design (or, if you use items from an existing survey, identify the survey and demonstrate your understanding by talking about why you chose that survey and those specific items).

7. Describe the pre-testing strategy and the fieldwork monitoring procedure that you propose to implement. You may want to use one of the pre-testing techniques discussed in class to pre-test your questionnaire on a small purposive sample of colleagues or friends.

8. Finally, describe which sources of error may arise from your design, in light of the Total Survey Error framework; also, discuss briefly how survey weights may be used to minimise some sources of survey error.

Throughout the essay, you will need to justify your choices with reference to the relevant methodological literature.

Law LLB- public law portfolio

What issues are addressed by the following statutes and what makes them ‘constitutional’?
Act of Union with Ireland 1800
The Parliament Act 1911
The Public Order Act 1986
The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984
The Human Rights Act 1998

The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 provides, in section 1, that the Act does not adversely affect “the existing constitutional principle of the rule of law” or “the Lord Chancellor’s existing constitutional role in relation to that principle”.

This provision, the Attorney-General has suggested, illustrates the importance attached to the rule of law in the modern age, which is further reflected in the oath to be taken by Lord Chancellors under section 17(1) of the Act, to respect the rule of law and defend the independence of the judiciary. But the Act does not define the existing constitutional principle of the rule of law

How would you define the constitutional principle of the Rule of Law?
