Problem Statement:

MIT has for the last many years been the top choice for companies to recruit fresh talent from. It has become a norm for these companies to come and give a presentation here highlighting the different facets and opportunities of the company. They conduct what is called info-sessions. To incentivize students to come, most of these info-sessions have free food and raffle prizes. This presents a great opportunity to build a platform that categorizes the food by cuisine, date and location and make it available to the MIT students so my.pdfthat they can find places to eat free-food at.

MIT is also home for a number of cultural events that take place throughout the year. This ranges from concerts, dramas, film screenings and magic shows. We could easily extend the platform that is used to solve the free food problem to enable listings for these events. We would again want to categorize by event genre, location and cost of the entry ticket.

    Missing problem statement. Not really a stretch idea, but hopeful for a stretch design! Good user analysis, although it was not immediately clear if these user classes were fictitious or generalizations from interviews. Create account and login are not necessary for task analysis in the scope of the overall problem. Otherwise, good task analysis. Missing certain key headers for assignment.

    Discover, search, add, be notified. Missing a design Sub-optimal presentation - suggestion: put images and corresponding text side-by-side. Also, can take advantage of different font sizes and styles for headers, etc.

    Good to see active application of usability concepts. Good to point out usability tradeoffs. Lots of key insight pointed out. Not clear how many users were tested. Please put a bit more effort into presentation of your report.. this is a UI design class after all and your report is analogous to any UI.

    "Fidelity: UI for form.html looks very unoriginal and not well thought out.
    Usability: No affordances, no thought put into how to best enter input - examples: enter location can bring up a map, enter in date/time can open up calendar widget, etc.
    #REF!: #REF!

    GR6: Well presented and justified design decisions. Overall, I think this project had the potential to be much more polished. I understand that time was a factor but sometimes it wasn't clear whether design decisions were made after careful thought and deliberation or whether it was simply the default thing to do. Hopefully, takeaways from this project include understanding that "you are not your user" and that user feedback should be incorporated early and often in iterative design process!
