Group G - Student Fees

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

   * Nice clear introduction
   * Good examples of questions from different parts of the survey
     instrument in your introduction
   

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.

   * Good description of sampling process
   * Nice that you are already above your target sample size
 
   * Good dealing with extreme outlier responses
   * (of course) I like how you are approaching nonresponse
 
   * I like very much that you are relating responses on different
     questions to each other, and to demographic variables.
     Especially nice to relate usa with perception of fee sise, for
     example. 

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?

   * Candidates for post-stratification:
      - m/f
      - on/off campus
      - member/nonmember of student org
     (especially the last two might affect attitudes toward fees, so
     it would be food to reweight these responses to be in proportion
     to their actual numbers on campus)

Individuals:                                           /30
   Know what you're talking about.
   Sound practiced, not rushed.

except that no-shows will get 0.
