OVERALL:

these are three nice proposals, and really different sampling methods!

my favorite proposal is #3, pedestrian circulation on campus.  If you
can get the data, #1 is also very interesting. #2 is not bad, but it
might be the hardest to do well.  please let me know in email what you
choose.


1. Analysis of Carnegie Mellon Undergrad Prospects After Graduation
Statistics

   A. Interest.	10/10					49/50

      ok

   B. Research Questions.    10/10

      ok.  given that you plan to study administrative records
      retrospectively, you should be able to answer questions like
      these.

   C. References.   5/5

      ok

   D. Sampling Frame		8/8

      ok

   E. Target Population		7/8

      ok. note that graduates who do not report back to CMU are one
      source of coverage error

   F. Mode of Data Collection	5/5

      so, looking at CMU administrative records

      do you have access to these records yet?  is it feasible to get
      access?


   G. Important Variables	4/4

      ok



2. People's Satisfaction with Services that Port Authority Provides  49
(off campus)

   A. Interest.		10/10				

      ok

   B. Research Questions.	10/10

      ok
      
   C. References.		4/5

      one reference missing

   D. Sampling Frame		8/8

      ok. Note that by sampling only people at bus stops, you will be
      missing anyone who has decided not to rely on the buw (because
      service is too unreliable for them, service does not extend to
      their home neighborhood, etc.).  you would need to discuss this
      in a final report.

     However, given that your target population is all oakland bus
     users, your approach to sampling is fine.


   E. Target Population		8/8

      ok good

   F. Mode of Data Collection	5/5

      ok.  I am assuming that the main units for your study are people.

   G. Important Variables	4/4

      ok

3. Pedestrian Circulation Throughout Carnegie Mellon Campus (on
   campus)							  50

   A. Interest.		  10/10	     	      	     

      ok      

   B. Research Questions.	10/10

      looks good

   C. References.  	    4/5

      only 4 team members represented

   D. Sampling Frame		8/8

      excellent description

   E. Target Population		8/8

      this is fine.  

      one very interesting aspect of this survey is that a big part of
      the report should be about people who *don't* show up at the
      locations and times you will observe (obviously a big part of
      the report will also be about people who *do* show up!).  This
      is important because it is just as important for someone setting
      up a table, booth or other advertisement on campus to know who
      they are *not* reaching, as it is to know who they *are*
      reaching.

   F. Mode of Data Collection	5/5

      good description.  

      Unlike most surveys, it may be of interest for you to allow the
      same people to be in your survey more than once.  For example,
      it might be useful to know that some people pass by important
      locations on campus more than once (and how many times).


   G. Important Variables	4/4

      ok
