TEAM B: MUSIC AND MOVIE INTERNET PIRACY AT CARNEGIE MELLON

George Nardi
George Volichenko
Chelsea Grindle
Ben Gorman
Jongwoo Lee
Cam Bogie

GENERAL COMMENTS:

* I liked the idea of pretesting the questionnaire in the library

* I hope you are able to get at some of the ethical-vs-legal
  distinctions in people's behavior with respect to piracy (quite
  apart from acting in ignorance of piracy).

* Your Cbook sampling scheme -- pick a page at random and take
  everyone on that page -- basically sets up CBook pages as clusters.
  That is an interesting idea.  If you retained the info to do so, I'd
  be curious what the DEFF for that clustered sample is, for future
  303 groups.  If not, no sweat, just analyze as a SRS as you intend
  to do.

* It's fine to use Facebook to contact people, but please contact them
  in the order that you sampled them from CBook, to minimize the
  possible biasing effect of "facebook availability" on your results.

* Probably you will need to post-stratify.

GRADING SCHEME FOR PRESENTATIONS

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

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.
 
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?

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. 

George Nardi	       		30   	 100   
George Volichenko		30	 100
Chelsea Grindle			30	 100
Ben Gorman			30	 100
Jongwoo Lee			20	  90
Cam Bogie			30	 100

I had a difficult time following Jongwoo's part of the presentation.
A little more practice, and standing in the center near the screen
facing audience, will help.
