LIS 390W1A - Lab 17: Final Project Proposal Revision

Assignment

Because most of you failed to read the project proposal assignment in the assignment description, I am going to give you a second chance to revise it. For those of you who did it right the first time, you will get a bonus to your grade, but this assignment is a chance to revise what you wrote in light of your experience with the prototype and the thinking you've done on it since. Please take it seriously as you will find this exercise very useful in planning out the rest of your semester. From the final project proposal description:

Project Proposal: 50 points

  • Description of Website Purpose: 10 points
  • Description of Audience & Audience needs/wants/desires: 10 points
  • Description of Plan for how to accomplish the project: 20 points
  • Schedule of tasks & completion dates: 10 points

Most of you successfully described the purpose of your website. Few of you talked about your audience, your plan, or provided a schedule of tasks & completion dates.

Based on our discussion in class today, please revise your final project proposal. Please revise the project description based on your current thinking, and please add the pieces that are missing (or revise what you put last time).

Please also add a paragraph that talks about your vision for what your users' experience using your website will be. Why do they go to the site? What do they do there? Why do they come back? This needs to be done after you describe who your users are.

Please create a new file for this assignment, do not overwrite your old file. I will be grading this in part on a comparison between your old and new proposals.

Submission

For this assignment, you will need post a link to your new final project proposal on the Final Project Forums.

This assignment is due FRIDAY.

Grading Criteria

You will be graded as part of your final project proposal.
