Assignment 1 Tips
Your 1 INCH binder should include the following:
- Title Page (on cover of binder)
- put group name, individual names, project title, emails
- Section Dividers with labels
- many people forget to write on the labels
- Table of Contents
- be sure to number the actual pages so they correspond with the TOC
- include your Section Dividers/Indexes somehow in the TOC
- Grading Sheet
- Section 1: Introduction
- general background
- expected users
- context of work
- constraints to the system
- expected uses
- Section 2: Concrete Task Examples
- how did you get your tasks?
- how did you validate your tasks?
- be sure each task has the properties of a good task example
- description for each task describing why it is important/not important
- include a broad range of task examples demonstrating various users and
situations
- Section 3: Tentative List of Requirements
- categories of requirements (must include, should include, could include,
exclude)
- you should have something for every category
- explain why items fall into each category - based on both the user type
and tasks you are supporting
- Section 4: Prototype Designs
- get your prototype in there somehow (fold, photos...)
- describe the evolution of your design
- include rough sketches (paper, napkins...) so we can see early ideas and
progression
- Section 5: Walkthrough results
- include a walkthrough for each task
- do NOT rely on user training
- you should NOT have a walkthrough with all YES answers for "is the user
motivated", nobody comes up with a perfect design
- give a summary of problems and successes of your design
- describe where you will go with your design based on the walkthroughs
- Proof Read your document - there should be no grammar/spelling errors (or
at least very close to none)
