1. What Determines Friendship at Carnegie Mellon?
   [could expand to social network survey]

   A. Interest.	 20/20

      The motivation for the study (low attendance at CMU events,
      sports in particular) is a little different from the aim of the
      study as expressed in the title and in the questions under
      B. below.  You may wish to change or expand your motivations a
      bit to be more in line with what you're actually proposing to
      do.

   B. Research Questions.	15/20

      These are a good start.  Other interesting questions:

      * how large is each students' network of 
      	- close friends
 	- friends
	- acquaintences
	- etc
	and what proportion of each network is on-campus?

      * how do students interact with friends
        - CMU events
	- study and/or class together
	- relax together
	- go to off-campus/non-CMU events together
	- etc

   C. References.	10/10

      These are good.  Try also looking at references under something
      like "college friendship networks"


2. Craig Street Customers (ebb and flow of clientelle at businesses on
   craig street)

   A. Interest.		15/20

      The title says "craig street customers" but you seem mainly
      interested in restaurant customers.  That specificity is ok, but
      please modify title to reflect it.

      This does not look as well thought-out as the first study.  What
      makes this study something one [me!] would want to read in
      detail?

      I like the fact that the study is constrained to a small group
      of restaurants (Craig Street).

   B. Research Questions.   15/20

      Only one of these questions (why did you come here) seems
      particularly "actionable" -- if the restaurant knew the answer
      they might change something to attract more customers.  More
      thought needs to be put into what sorts of questions a
      restaurant might actually want to know (or perhaps restaurants
      don't want to know this information?).  It might be worth
      contacting a restaurant owner or two.


   C. References.  10/10

      Some of the references suggest clues for questions you might
      ask.  Others don't seem so relevant, at least for Craig Street
      restaurants.
