TEAM A: A Political Survey of the CMU Community Dev Doshi, Emily Gehrels, William Weiner, Crystal Wray, Pavan Yalamanchili GENERAL COMMENTS: It looks like you are on track with your survey project. It might have been worthwhile to pre-stratify, to reduce sample size and get a better sense of how opinion varies across campus, but you SRS is fine too. I expect you may need to do some post-stratification, however. I will be interested to see your response rate, given that you are not offering any incentive. This will be useful information for future 303 groups. I did not score the sections below individually since I am giving you all 100s. -BJ GRADING SCHEME FOR PRESENTATIONS Introduction: /10 What’s it about? Research Question & Motivation Questionnaire, or at least a couple sample questions from it Body: /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. Conclusion: /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? Individuals: /30 Know what you're talking about. Sound practiced, not rushed. At least 2 real slides per person 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 un-excused no-shows will get 0.
