GENERAL COMMENTS:

* I will be interested in your response rates. This is perhaps the
  most valuable prize that has ever been offered in a 303 survey
  project.

* Since your survey is programmed to accept only completed surveys I
  will be interested in three numbers
   - number of people contacts
   - number of people who start survey
   - number of people who complete survey

  From these you can compute several interesting "response rates", for
  example:  
       (number of people who start survey)/(number of people contacted) 
  and
       (number who complete survey)/(number who start survey)

* Great that you are pre-stratifying on grad vs undergrad.

* You may find that you will need to post-stratify within each of
  those two groups.  See the end of the handout on "poststratification
  challenges" to for suggestions on how to do this.

I did not mark individual scores below since I'm giving you all 100's
on this presentation.


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.
