Final Project
Survey Results and Findings
Due Sunday March 23 before 11:30pm

Overview

For this final project, you will submit a final individual report based on the survey project you conducted as a team. You may optionally continue to work with your team to analyze the results. However, your findings and reflections must be your own individual work and presentation.

Requirements

Create a report with the following sections:

  1. Executive Summary
  2. Description of the survey
  3. Summary of your method
  4. Results
  5. Extended Findings
  6. Appendix including details of method, and results

The executive summary is a one paragraph (maybe two) overview of your whole report. It should include at least one important finding and a reflective statement on the role of surveys as a UX method.

The extended findings should be an individual effort that includes the following:

  • Interpretations of the results
  • Limitations and potential errors or biases of the survey
  • Reflections on the costs and benefits of using the surveys
  • Clear indications on how your findings and reflections are supported. Possible sources of support might include the results, your experience from the project, reflective analysis or external sources.

As you find it appropriate, you may organize the extended findings section in subsections or even create an additional section that focuses on reflections.

While not technically part of the report, the requirements include completing and submitting the evaluation form for how individuals contributed to the team projects. This form may be appended to the report or submitted separately in the final project submission box.

Submission

The submitted document should use a common presentation format, ideally PDF. Submit the document through D2L. A rubric for grading the assignment is present with the dropbox submission folder.

Grading

This final project is worth 20% of the course grade and will be reviewed using the following criteria:

  • Completeness. All requirements are addressed. The requirements include submitting the evaluation form for project contributions.
  • Clarity. The method and analysis are clearly presented.
  • Support of findings. Results are plausible given the method. The results support the findings.
  • Comprehensiveness of reflections. The reflections address the course goals (as many as appropriate).
  • Support of reflections. Support for the reflections are clearly indicated and explained.
  • Ease of review. The document is organized and content presented to faciliate review of the above criteria.
