Question

A well known school’s Academic and Examination Offices plan to evaluate the students' reactions to online learning and examination administration. They agree to conduct face to face interviews. An officer locates himself near the office of the Dean of Students every lunch hour, where he has brief conversations with every student who visits the Dean of Students in a space of 14 days. On the 15th day he decides that he is tired and bored so he stops the routine. He eventually secures data from 147 students and publishes his findings as the "Acceptability of online learning and examination administration by the school's students"
