Final Report
Due Sunday November 27 before 11:30pm
Overview
Instead of a final exam, you will (individually) prepare a summary report of your understanding and experience of at least 4 phases in a UX Design process.
Contents
You summary report should list at least four phases of a UX Design process. In listing and describing the phrases, you may choose any coherent set of phases provided that include elements of user research with problem discovery, conceptual design, interaction design and evaluation. For the labels and description, you may use language from the class.
Each phase should include the following:
- Label --- a phrase for the phase (e.g. Conceptual Design)
- Description --- one or two sentences that explains the phase in a general terms.
- Original example --- one example of an activity that you experienced that examplifies this phase. This can be 3 to 6 sentences in length.
- Insight --- one generalized lesson that can apply to future work. It should be based on original example. This can be 2 to 4 sentences in length.
You may supplement your work with a quote or an image, but it is not required. Your overall report may fit on one page!
While not part of the report, be sure to submit your assessment of individual contributions to the team project (Word version, PDF version).
Evaluation Criteria
- Presentation. The report should be well written and formatted. The quality could form the basis of a professional portfolio entry.
- Completeness. The listing of phrases should incorporate all elements and principles of user-centered design. The report addresses all requirement elements. Note: also submit the assessment of contributions as a separate document.
- Coherence The phases should be clearly designed and distinct from (yet possibly overlapping with) each other. The descriptions, examples and insights should illustrate how one phase leads into the other. The language is concise and does not use unnecessary wording. The insight should be supported by the example.
- Originality. The example should be your original contribution (in terms of descriptions and wording). The insight draws upon your example and will thus be original too.
- Specificity. Details of the example refer to an actual activity and/or data. Quotes, drawings, images and an action description are examples.
- Usefulness. The insight has general value that could apply to other cases or future use.
