Assignment
1. (INDIVIDUAL) (1 point)
Using Nielsen and Molich's 10
Heuristics , evaluate the project prototype of another group.
EMail me and the group your eval as soon as you have performed it
(Don't wait for the homework submission)
2. (1 point) (to be done within groups) Combine
the feedback you received from question 1 and
list the changes
you made or decided not to make to your project based
on them. This is Prototype 1. For the feedback you are not
implementing,
explain why. On your Project Description page, make 2 links
(or otherwise make available): one to Prototype 0 and one to
Prototype 1, so we can see the differences. Be prepared to explain the
difference in class (putting the prototypes on a disk will be best)
Continue adding functionality to your prototype.
3. (3 points) (to be done with your project
partners) Using the
7 steps
