Starting next Tues April 23, we will begin the Final Project Critiques. Don't be intimidated by the name -- the Critiques are simply a time to get feedback on final projects. Each student will show their *in-progress* map to the class and use the time to get useful comments and suggestions. I'd like you to have a minimum of 3 questions ready that you can propose to the class regarding your map. Questions can range from content (is this enough? too much?), to design (colors work? are the buttons easy to find/use?), to visualization style (should this be animated temporally? do I need layers? would it help to add ___?), to....really, any question can work. It all depends on what you are crafting and what you've been pondering/tinkering. Do invest some time to your class query -- you may get some fresh perspectives and ideas.
Although you will sign up and present one day, you need to attend ALL days so you can contribute to the discussions. The Critique is worth 100 points (20 for your time at the lecturn, and 20*4 for the comments and suggestions you offer to the presentee). You have to show up (and talk!) to get points.
Critique days are below. 15 Students divided over 4 days so approx 15 min each. Students who attended class on Thurs 4-11 picked first. If you are not on the list below you Must contact me (4/30 and 5/2 are now full).
