Class 11_Homework_February 27th

Dear Students

For homework, revise and edit your final scripts and prototypes for final presentation. I expect to see revisions made based on feedback the group received in class. Please refer to your notes. At this point, your group should not be starting over from scratch, but rather expanding on, editing, and revising the groups existing prototypes in such a way that will better present the story script for our formal user-testing segment. Consider the presentation of your prototypes in this way: Do the visuals 'show' the story of the script without the script? Is the navigation of your visual show sensical with a logical flow? Are you utilizing your 8-10 minutes of presentation time in such a way that thoroughly showcases what you have designed?

Additionally, you will be refining and finalizing your script as you formalize and practice your presentation. Presenting is a skill. It is important that your group's verbal presentation is clear and easy to understand. It is also imperative that you create a dynamic and interesting story for your audience. A good presentation is a mix of preparedness, script-writing, good storytelling, practice, confidence/verbal skills, and looking the part. Everyone in the group should participate in the presentation. We will have guests and we want them to be impressed! The final presentation date is Thursday, March 1st. There is plenty of time to perfect the 'show' and 'tell' of what you have created.

We will be running through your presentations using your full prototypes this Thursday and next Tuesday.
Best,

Team IPC

Some students know exactly what they want to make work about. A large portion of students do not. This exercise can be helpful to those who do not know what to pursue. If you know what you are interested in, keep your topic of interest in mind as you answer questions.

Practice putting into words what irks, frightens, moves and interests you. Below is a list of questions to ponder along with inquiries about your interests. Review all the questions and choose three that you feel provide the strongest prompts for you to respond and elaborate on about your interests.

Copy and paste three different questions from the list below into a new document with space under each to type out your answers. Be thorough in your response.
