Appendix K. Requirements for Survey Presentation

Name______________ Date _________________

Requirements for Survey Presentation

You will be presenting on Monday. The following is what needs to be included in your presentations:

  1. Some form of graph-any which way that works best for your data. This should be on poster paper and written with markers so everyone can see you work. (2pts)
  2. A couple of lines that explain the results that you have concluded based on the data you collected. This includes any averages, fractions or ratios to describe your results. (3pts)
  3. Also talk about the significance of your results. For example if you chose music as your question, your finding may lead to making an observation of which artist is selling the most records-in other words this survey you conducted may be a piece of a larger picture in the real world-WOW-that's cool. (3 pts)
  4. Prepare to talk about who you surveyed. Examples include age group, sex, parents, teacher etc. If you conducted your survey by just asking anyone, with out setting limits, indicate that on your poster as well. (3pts)
  5. Prepare to talk about questions people asked you when you had surveyed them. Were there people who had a tough time making a decision? Were there people who wished you had more choices to choose from? Were there people who didn't like any of the choices? (2pts)
  6. Prepare to talk about biases that you think may have been in your question or in the people you chose to survey. Do you think your question was too constrained? Is there an assumption behind your question? Point out what you would do next time to reduce some of the biases. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED SOME ADVICE FROM ME. TALK ABOUT WHAT CHANGES YOU MAY HAVE MADE ALONG THE WAY. (4pts).
  7. Prepare to discuss any kinds of relationships you may have detected. Example. If you did sports, are you finding that taller people prefer basketball???(4pts)
  8. Your presentation technique is important. Make sure you have a legible poster that is organized and easy to understand. Be prepared to answer questions that I or Mr. Schueckler might ask. This might be a big one: If I asked you to do your survey somewhere else, do you think your results may change? Why/Why not? (4pts)

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS ON THIS IS 25. MR. SCHUECKLER AND/OR I WILL BE USING THIS SHEET TO GRADE YOU. PUT YOUR NAME ON THE TOP AND HAND IT TO US WHEN YOU PRESENT****

HAVE FUN & LEARN!!
