Project Summary
The research project for this course is a team project. Each team has up to four members. Select teams so that your team has some degree of heterogeneity. If possible, your members should not all share the same background or hold the same views.
Each project has two parts.
- Proposal and Presentation
- Research Report and Final Presentation
Suggested Topic
One option this semester is web sites. Your team selects three web sites of well-established international corporations.
- For the first part, your team develops critical views of the selected sites based on the material presented in this course and personal viewpoints. Each criticism highlights the deficiencies of the site and includes a description of the member's background and how it has influenced the evaluation. Team members comment on each other's views. Each team submits a written document that describes its criticism in detail. Each team presents a summary of its findings to the class.
- For the second part, each team develops recommendations on how to improve the three sites and draws on the design material presented in the second half of the course, on research, and on the work of other teams in the course. Each team submits a written research paper that includes its criticism and its recommendations and presents a summary of its paper to the class.
