* It is going to be important to draw the citizen science sample from the same population as those who are offered the program. If people use self-projection, then those projections will be most valid from the actual sample, rather than MTurk masters participants who may be idiosyncratic. | |||
* I feel like their ability to generate questions is not so good. They seem to pick up on the intuitive things that most people would think of: do they want the device, do they think the money is enough. What methods can we use to help them generate effective questions using their knowledge? Are we already tapping that? | |||

Entry titleFirst Pass CommentsThese are the first two pretests. I have a vague concern about the research, not knowing exactly what the focus or story is. I am considering xx. Created a qualification in MTurk for one participant to allow him to be in future problem pit studies. I need to create an acceptance sampling method to keep the number of pre-test participants bounded.
