As we move deeper into practice, we’ll learn fewer new topics and concentrate on honing our skills. Much of this week’s in-class time will be dedicated to a thorough review of each student’s Project Two.

Projects will be evaluated on basis of:

Thoroughness, while not overwhelming the viewer with detail. Providing ‘just the right amount’ of information is something we’ll try to clarify.
Quality of the research and its presentation. For example, cover the 4 W’s.
Clearly presented behaviorally-based personas. If more than one persona is used, ensure they have different goals, frustrations, or preferences.
User flows using the right objects.
Clear problem statements and user stories.
Early sketches or wireframes that demonstrate the initial concept.
A prototype, or additional wireframes that clearly show progression of the design. This progression should be based on feedback – either from test participants, other designers, educators, or students, or from viewers who give sensible feedback.
Usability tests, presentation of the results, and improvements made based on test results.
Visual design and effectiveness of the prototype.
