Group D - Plans and Influences of Graduating Seniors Introduction: 10/10 What’s it about? Research Question & Motivation Questionnaire, or at least a couple sample questions from it * Good motivation, good description * Good to hear about contacts with Career Center Are they really interested or just window dressing? Body: 50/50 Describe the work you have done so far How sample was selected... Any advice for future 303 students? How survey was set up and respondents contacted Glitches? How did you fix ‘em? What is the nonresponse or refusal rate so far? How will you decrease it? What are the distinguishing features of nonresponders/refusers? Successes? Tell us. * Good description of your process * Random start/fixed skip was a good approach * Interesting idea to name yourself, create an email addr and use it in the email invitations to increase response rate. Was there a further description of the association of your group with the 303 class? * As discussed during question time, not a good idea to just contact your friends within the random sample for nonresponse followup. Better to send out reminders to all nonresponders. Conclusion: 10/10 Future work – what’s left to do? When will you / did you cut off data collection? What post-processing and/or analyses will you perform? (nonresponse, poststratification, answering your research questions, etc.) Anything else? * I like the idea of post-stratifying on program within CMU * you may also want to look at gender and class * Will be interested to see how you handle partially-completed forms Individuals: /30 Know what you're talking about.
