GENERAL COMMENTS:

* Great that you pre-stratified.  This almost always improves
  results. 

* Because you used just 2 pre-strata, you may find you need to
  post-stratify (within each pre-stratum separately) also.  See
  handout "post-stratification challenges" toward the end for
  strategies to do this.

* The issue of when and how to introduce the raffle is interesting
  (and whether to offer it to those who have already responded). I'll
  be interested to see how this plays out (for you, and as advice to
  future 303 groups).

* You had a multistage sampling method for Cbook which I don't quite
  remember. Please describe it in your written report... I recall
  thinking it was interesting and a good idea.

I am not assigning scores to parts of the presentation below since I
will just give you all 100s.


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.
