The Project component of this
course involves doing a research project and producing a research paper. The paper must be formatted as
per submissions to "CHI" – the ACM Conference on Human Factors in
Computing Systems, sponsored by the ACM's SIGCHI.
For the research project, you
must conduct a comparative evaluation conforming to the scientific method, as
presented in class. The project
involves posing a testable research question (or questions) and then answering
it (them) through a user study.
The evaluation is "comparative" because two or more conditions
are tested and compared.
The paper should be 6-8
formatted pages.
Submission. Submit your project paper as a PDF or DOC file in Prism
using the command 'submit 6329 project project.xxx', where xxx is either pdf or doc. Perferably, submit both a pdf and a doc version of your
paper.
