Project Idea Sketch

The goal of this assignment is for you to begin developing your project ideas so you will be prepared to present them to the class in our next meeting.
  1. Give a 4 sentence summary of your project, goals and what you plan to achieve. Think of this as a short abstract.
  2. Will this be a thesis or capstone?
  3. What conclusions do you hope to draw at the end?
  4. What is your methodology (experiment, field study, user study, enthnography)?
  5. If you are building something, how do you plan to evaluate it?
  6. Find at least three relevant, published pieces of research that relate to your work. Give a brief (1-2 sentence) summary of each and then describe (again in 1-2 sentences) how it relates to or sets the context for your project.
