Purposive sampling
Extreme case/deviant sampling: unusual or
special case enable to learn the most about
the RQ.
Heterogeneous or maximum variation
sampling: representing different subgroups
Homogeneous sampling: One subgroup.
Critical case sampling:
If it happen there, it will happen everywhere.

Snowball sampling
Make contact with one or two cases in the

Ask these cases to identify further cases.
Ask these new case to identify further new
cases.
Stop when either no new cases are given or
the sample is large enough.
