Clarrification - Question 3 of pset 2
It has come to our attention that students may have used a variety of methods of population allocation to answer Question 3 in Pset 2. There are several possible ways to arrive at population estimates. Certain methods are more appropriate to a particular application. Additionally, every method has its own strengths and weaknesses. Please include in your response to Question 3 a statement about what method of population allocation you used. Ideally, this statement would also include a brief (1 sentence) explanation of the strengths/weaknesses/ assumptions of your chosen population allocation method. We hope this announcement helps clarify what we expect for Question 3.

Hints problem set #2
Reminders for Problem Set #21. Remember the units that you are using for area. We are going
to grade based on the units we asked for.
2. In the part where you are geocoding there is an address which is
technically in Manhattan even though geographically it exists in
the Bronx. You do not need to match that address. The address is
108 W 228TH ST.
3. When you are geocoding and you lose the Review/Rematch screen
you can always get it back by right>-clicking on the Geocoding
Results in the table of contents. Selecting Data> Review/Rematch
Addresses.
4. Remember when you there are only 5 CSO so when you find laundry
mat density your legend might not need ranges – depends on how you
set up your legend.
5. If you quote someone don’t forget to put a source.

Please take this poll!!!!!!!
11.205 is almost finished and 11.520 is about to begin. For the start of 11.520, it would be very helpful to have a realistic sense of how many people are planning to take it. That being said, the registration information does not really provide us with this information. This the case because as the drop date for 11.520 is well after the class starts. The official registration tally is often misleading beacuse some students are registered for the class, have no intention of taking it, but have not dropped it yet.
Given this fact, we would really appreciate it is you would let us know whether you intend to take 11.520 (we hope that you do but understand if you don't) so that we can better deal with course administration tasks.
Please fill out the this poll: ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WMpWTP7X0ENQm_O_v_bbey7nW-H1GuHVSEqzYtDpvwI/viewform).

P.S. You may get this email twice. We're sorry.
