Prof. KFVBaseball season is here. This past week the students took a break from blogging about politics and designed their own public opinion surveys; one survey from the CA politics course and one survey from the American Governments course. Students determined the broad topics and then met in groups to determine their policy question(s) and their demographic questions.
We ran both surveys on Amazon Mechanical Turk (chance to discuss how it differs from national demographics), we are creating cross-tabs and analyzing results in class this week. Students came up with creative and thoughtful ways to ask questions about policy issues that are important to them! Topics included: water and energy consumption, funding for K-12 education, cost of living, illegal and legal drug use for medical purposes, immigration, abortion, trade policy, healthcare, climate change, financial aid in college, civil liberties, net neutrality, and felon disenfranchisement. We will post some of our results here next week!
