Independent Study oral presentation feedback - overall

The following comments are overall feedbacks on Independent Study oral presentations:

1. Some topics are quite "safe" and "standardized": no major suggestions made to students in this case
2. A number of students have difficulties to formulate multiple regression formula that match their report titles and objectives
3. Some students still have problems to understand multiple regression analysis
4. Some students have poor knowledge on Literature Review

5. Some students are still unclear about their basic proposal ideas
6. A few students have difficulties to explain the nature of their proposals?
7. Quite a number of students have still weak knowledge on the subject of Research Methods.
8. Quite a number of students need to improve writing skill and skill of analysis/ reasoning.
9. A few students now realize that they may need to consider applying chi-squared test in their report work, in this case, also refer to: https://www.facebook.com/josephho33/photos#!/media/set/?set=a.10150114248382090.323264.713727089&type=3  (FB resource on Chi-squared test).

I will explain the concept of P-value in the coming tutorial session on April 15. (with handouts distributed in tutorial class).
Also refer to the following statistics applets: http://www.bilkent.edu.tr/~ktarik/econ222/applets.html
