Assignment 6

The goal of this assignment is to apply the knowledge of the previous lectures to your tool and improve it in any way you can. Imagine that you will put the tool online for people to use.

On January 18th in class you will be given 3 minutes to present your tool. You will be given a mouse and the use of the instructor's laptop for you demo. In the demo make sure to tell us:

• your 30s elevator pitch - who and what is your tool for
• a short explanation of what the tool shows
• a short demo of the possible interactions in the tool

Practice your demo. It should not exceed 3 minutes. We will ask you up to 2 minutes of questions. The presentation of your tool will be 50% of your exam grade (and therefore 33% of your final grade).
