4.29 Presentation

The draft proposals and  IRB applications were due tonight. I will be reading them over the next few days, and will have feedback for everyone by next week. Those of you who presented this evening received your feedback on the proposal already.  Good work on these!

Next week, we will continue with the presentations.  This week we were a little pressed for time, since we took almost the first hour so everyone could read through the drafts.  Make sure to come to class with your comments in mind for each proposal.  To make sure everyone gets feedback, the format for presenting should not include a detailed overview of the whole proposal (since everyone will have already read the proposal in detail); rather state the following.

• A detailed statement of your research question.
• The references you expect to use, and how you expect to use them. 
• A brief outline of your plan for gathering + analyzing data.
• Requests for feedback.

Presentations will be 15 minutes each, and should balance out at under 5 minutes for the above statements and the rest for feedback. We will spend the rest of next week reviewing for the exam.   If you have questions or would like a conference on the proposal or IRB application - let me know.  Have a good week and see you soon.
