Project User Study Evaluation Results (Assignment P13)
Once you have completed your batch evaluation, you will turn in a
written report describing your evaluation results. Here's a brief
outline for what should be in the report:
- Describe the problem that you are solving (not much detail is
needed on this for class purposes) [0.5-1 page]
- Describe the design of your evaluation (generally including: how
you selected subjects, how you provided training, what procedure they
followed, how you collected data, and how you analyzed that data. [1-2
pages]
- Present your results using one or more tables and/or graphs
(either way is fine), along with some explanatory comments. Probably
easiest to present this in the same way as you will in your class
presentation. [1-2 pages, most of which will be tables or graphs]
- Analysis of your results. Don't get too carried away here -- the
key is to draw some interesting conclusions from your evaluation. [1-2
pages]
- Some appropriate way of ending (e.g., remarks on limitations, one
or more suggestions for future work, etc.) [0.5 page]
The total should be about 6 pages. Several good examples are
available from the IIiX and HCIR symposia (which are available through
the ACM Digital Library in Research Port).
Submit your user study report using ELMS.
As with all project components, the overall project grade will be
holistic (not some formulaic combination of graded parts).
