Final Draft Comments Team B. Grade: 95/100. Great work! Introduction: 17/20. Good, but still a bit informal in tone (e.g. "We're curious to know…" -- how often do you see contractions in scientific writing?) Also, you don't summarize or even tease your results at all (as the grading guidelines (cf. http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~brian/303/week14/0-final-paper-evaluation.txt) ask you to in your introduction. Methods: 20/20. Very strong. If anything, some of the more technical details (e.g. the table of post-stratification weights) could have been relegated to the appendix, but this is more a matter of taste than anything else. Results: 18/20. Very strong in terms of work and content if stylistically wanting. As we've discussed already, the difference between the jackknife and Taylor series estimates of variance are quite troubling, given that the weights didn't deviate too heavily from uniform, but Prof. Junker and I couldn't find anything you were doing wrong to calculate them. Again, the tone is frustratingly informal, affecting even the section headings and the (unnecessary) explanation of how to read a fourfold plot ("The way you read a fourfolds plot is that…"). Would you ever see that in an academic publication? Discussion: 20/20. Very strong. References: 10/10. Appendices: 10/10. P.S.
