GENERAL COMMENTS:

* Please remember that as part of your project I want you to analyize
  the data you got from the registrar as a (stratified) sample of all
  students living off campus.

* post-stratification, and post-stratification weights, within these
  two strata may matter a lot, in order to make the registrar's
  records more representative of the full population of off-campus
  students.  See suggestions at the end of the "post-stratification
  challenges" handout on post-stratifying within pre-strata.

* I'm very interested in the geo-coding and other spatial analyses you
  propose (slide 11)

* It would be useful to hear more about the variables you collected or
  computed from the registrar's records and/or the geocoding.  I think
  you can just make that come out naturally as you describe results in
  the next presentation, draft & final papers.

I'm not scoring the individual categories below since I'll just give
you all 100's for the 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.
