1. Student Consumption and Perception of Caffeine Consumption on
   Campus

   A. Interest.		15/20

      The general question struck me as kind of 'blah' -- not clear
      what anyone can do about the results of the survey -- but the
      research questions under part B seem more interesting.

      You can modify this motivation to be more in line with what you
      are actually curious about in B.

   B. Research Questions.  	 20/20

      I like relating consumption to a number of external variables
      (which are outcomes that people might use to justify the
      caffeine). 

      For question (g) I assume this is self-report of caffeine
      consumption.  Comparing personal consumption to "normal/average"
      might be difficult (since students may not know what
      "normal/average" is).  It might be easier to compare personal
      consumption to what the student desires: e.g. something like,
      "are you consuming more/less caffeine than you would like to or
      are comfortable with?"

      Fine.  Good that you are taking the survey in a slightly
      different direction, than previous survey work.

2. World Geography Knowledge: CMU vs Average Pittsburgh Residents

   A. Interest.	   	      15/20

      It is mildly interesting to see how good geographical knowledge
      of CMU students and/or Pittsburghers is.  But why compare them?
      What action would anyone be motivated to take, based on that
      comparison?

      Again I like your questions a bit better than your motivation.
      
   B. Research Questions.	20/20

      I like the idea of comparing knowledge with perceived importance
      (items c, d).


   C. References.	10/10


      nice references.  

      If you do this survey, you might consider adapting a form of the
      Roper questionnaire, and concentrating on doing an excellent job
      of sample design, data collection, analysis and writeup.
