Critiques

Starting next Monday April 27th we will begin the Final Project Critiques. Don't be intimidated by the name -- the Critiques are simply a time to get feedback on final projects. Each student will show their *in-progress* map to the class and use the time to get useful comments and suggestions. I do not expect you to be done with your map, but you need to be deep in production. 

I'd like you to have a minimum of 5 questions ready that you can propose to the class regarding your map. Questions can range from content (is this enough? too much?), to design (colors effective? are the buttons easy to find/use?), to visualization style (should this be animated temporally? do I need layers? would it help to add ___?), to....really, any question! It all depends on what you are crafting and what you've been pondering/exploring. Do invest some time in your class query -- you may get some fresh perspectives and ideas. 

Although you will sign up and present one day, you need to attend BOTH days so you can contribute to the discussions. The Critique is worth 100 points -- 20 for your time at the lecturn, and 40*2 for the comments and suggestions you offer your classmates. You have to show up (and talk!) to get points. A silent attendee only gets 5 of 40 points for a day. 

Critique days are below. 13 Students each day. Approximately 12 min each. We will sign up in class today. Again, the majority of the points come from the comments/ideas you give the other presenters.
