Group F: Safewalk

Introduction:                                         8/10
   What’s it about?
   Research Question & Motivation
   Questionnaire, or at least a couple 
      sample questions from it

  * Nice clear introduction

  * Would have liked a little better sense of the questionnaire itself
    from the talk

  * This seems to be a topic that would be of interest to the Tartan

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, managing nonresponse
     followup, dealing with people who wanted to opt out, etc.
   * Will be interesting to see if Heinz participation came up at all
     by the time you closed the survey 
   * I remember some discussion of prelim results in your talk, but
     nothing is on the slides...

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?

   * Gender and class seem likely candidates for post-stratification
   * Good planned analyses; relating familiarity and use with
     other demographics good idea

   * Will you do imputation for missing items? If nonresponse is
     correlated with some other feature (e.g. men are less likely to
     respond than women to particular items, or students who live off
     campus less likely to respond than those who live on campus), it
     might be interesting to report that, instead or in addition to
     imputing missing values.

Individuals:                                           /30
   Know what you're talking about.
   Sound practiced, not rushed.
   At least 2 real slides

Katherine Swintek          kswintek@andrew.cmu.edu     30/30    98
Evan Korol                 ekorol@andrew.cmu.edu)      30/30	98
Ivan Busharov              ibouchar@cmu.edu	       30/30	98
Jaclyn Bernard             jbernard@andrew.cmu.edu     30/30	98

Each person will get a score which is the sum of the above (so, 70 pts
from group preparation of slides, 30 pts for individual presentation),
except that no-shows will get 0.
