Analysis Rough Draft

A rough draft of my analysis can be found here, although it is a little barren. I included most of what I wanted to write and most of the graphs I want to use, but there are none of the tables I want to include. I decided to analyze UIUC transfers from Illinois Community Colleges, and the graduation rate, transfer rate, and graduation plus transfer rate of Illinois community colleges. I decided to leave out the Pathways sections for now, as the data for that section was not as good. I can always include it later if I feel the paper needs more.
My plan is to retype my whole paper in Latex for the final draft, so hopefully it will look a lot nicer and more organized. If you want some more updates on my progress, I'd be happy to give them, but otherwise I don't plan on any blog posts until I retype the whole thing. As always, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Literature Overview and Data Set update

I have updated my data set with a variables page, it is the second one. The updated data set is here. I've started trying to use Stata to see if I can find any interesting relationships. I'll let you know how that has been going next week.

I also updated my Literature review. If you have the time, could you skim it for about 5 minutes, just to see if the format is correct. I'm worried it may sound too much like an essay, rather than a literature review. The update can be found here.

If there's anything more I should be doing, please let me know. Thanks.

Literature Overview (Draft)

Literature Review Rough Draft

The above links to a rough draft of my Literature Review. You cannot edit this one, but if you want one to edit, please email me.

Criticism would obviously be appreciated, especially on substance and formatting. Is this more or less the style you want and are there any topics I should cover more?

Thanks.
