  7. Logistics • If surveys are being mailed to the office please make sure it is clearly marked as your project. • Example: Public Affairs Program – PAF 315 Attn: EFR Research Consultant 102 Maxwell Hall Syracuse, NY 13244

  8. Confidentiality of the Project • The only person who can receive your report or your data is your client. • Unless your client gives you permission to send it to someone else.

  9. Survey Design • Any questions from last week’s discussion with Carol and Coplin? • Remember Carol Dwyer is available to review surveys and assist in designing them. • It is required that if you meet with Carol, you send a thank-you email to Carol and copy your Supervisor. • Thank you notes are very important in the real world!!! • cdwyer@maxwell.syr.edu

  10. Agenda/Work Logs • If you haven’t already, make sure you see Coplin or your TA if your contractor agenda/work log said “See Me” or “See Mat/Melanie/Zack”). • Be responsible & pick up your papers. We’ve made a list of people who did not.

  12. Professionalism Criteria • Taking Responsibility including time management • Oral and Written Communication • Working with people • Asking and Answering the Right Questions • Solving Problems

  13. Professionalism Grading • Your supervisor will send you an email by Tuesday evening each week, that’s looks like: • Taking Responsibility including time management (+) met with Carol early to finalize survey • Oral and Written Communication (-) sent bad email • Working with people (0) • Asking and Answering the Right Questions (0) • Solving Problems (0) • At the end of the semester, all “+” and “-” will be added up. For example: A student with 6 pluses and 5 minuses will receive one extra credit point on the top of their overall 315 grade You can gain up to 5 points or lose up to 10 points on your overall 315 grade.

  14. Judging Data • Validity—does the data measure the concept or accuracy or truth • Reliability—will the measure be the same across all researchers • Representativeness---how generalizable is the data from the sample to the target population

  15. Accuracy Versus Representativeness Two BIG Questions to ask about data and findings • Representativeness • Accurate GET THIS STRAIGHT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

  16. Accuracy vs. Representativeness Example: I am conducting a survey of drinking habits of PAF 315 students. I send out a survey to all students in PAF 315. • Is the sample representative? Maybe • Is the data accurate? Don’t Know

  17. Accuracy a.k.a truth Data messed up by: In Surveys: • Respondents lying • Respondents not understanding questions • Mistakes in recording and transferring data In Records: • Mistakes in recording • Incomplete or messy records • Lying record keepers

  18. Representativeness • Can data be generalized to the target population? Threats • Small sample • Selection bias • Non-random

  19. Accuracy vs. Representativeness Workshop • Hold up “A” when you see a slide that describes accuracy. • Hold up “R” when you see a slide that describes representativeness.

  20. Accuracy or Representativeness? • Comparisons based on gender were not possible due to a lack of information about the target population.

  21. Accuracy or Representativeness? • Respondents may have been compelled to provide positive responses because of fear that the agency would be displeased with negative feedback.

  22. Accuracy or Representativeness? • Since people’s standards and opinions are likely to fluctuate as they age, this difference may have impacted the results.

  23. Accuracy or Representativeness? • Since the survey’s intent was to rate satisfaction levels for the various services ENABLE offered, the people who are more likely to respond are those who have extreme opinions on the services.

  24. Accuracy or Representativeness? • Certain questions did not have consistent scales. One such example is question six in which “timely manner” was not explained in concrete terms and therefore may have been interpreted differently by different respondents.

  25. Research Methods • Skim Chapters 1-10 in the Benchmark • Bring the book and review the paper directions.
