| Abstract: | SURVEY is a computer program that simulates samples drawn from a hypothetical county. We use SURVEY in introductory and advanced sample survey classes to allow students to become involved in all stages of the sampling process, from designing the survey, to analyzing it, to dealing with nonresponse. |
