Presentation format

No Adjectives Do not use adjectives in your comments. Instead, describe why you liked a piece by giving details of what you liked. Full sentences Always write full sentences, with a subject, verb and object.  Always end with a period.

What worked well in the presentation?  Discuss at least one aspect of the project that was presented well (provide a complete sentence ending with a period.  Make sure the sentence has a subject, verb and an object.)

 

Was the voice recording easy to hear?

The volume of the recording changed unnecessarily 
The recording was not loud enough to easily understand the content?

Was the visual presentation appealing? 

The font used in Slides was too small and difficult to read
The numbers reported had more digits than the justified by the precision these estimates were obtained (Maximum of 2 digits after a period)
The narration was verbatim from the slides 
The use of color and graphics did not help the narration and and did not strengthen the central points being made? 

Was the length of the presentation appropriate? 

Too many slides used, typically because the presentation did not focus on the analysis and spent a great deal of time describing the field or making introductory comments. 
It was too short.  5-7 slides were expected and many questions were left unanswered.
Narration of some slides exceeded 2 minutes

Was privacy of sources maintained?

References to name of organizations was not removed
Slide discussing whether the slide show can be posted was not present
Personal information was not stripped from the presentation
Expert was not identified by initials

Content

What worked well in the way the model was constructed?   Please use complete sentences with appropriate punctuations. 

 

Was the target event correctly defined?

Target events were mutually exclusive and exhaustive events
It was clear how a manager will use the predicted probability to improve the organization or care of patients

Were the probabilities correctly estimated? 

The likelihood estimates were incorrectly estimated.  Many students assess likelihood of a clue by asking for the probability of target event given the clue.  This is wrong.  It should be assessed by asking for the prevalence of the clue among situations were target event has occurred. 
Conditional independence was not verified or not verified correctly
The probability of target event was incorrectly calculated from its odds 

Was the model validated?

The face validity of the model was not reported
The scenarios were not correctly generated for at least 15 cases
The correlation between expert's judgment and the model was not correctly calculated
