Project Assignment: Group Project 2: Final Site & Presentations

The first half of the last week of class will be devoted to final group project presentations.

You should be ready to present a version of your site that has the full information architecture implemented, with content on the main page, any second-level (main topic) pages, and at least one set of third-level or below (specific content) pages implemented, as well. More is better, of course, but it’s possible to get a good garde without all content being completed.

I’m not going to provide a laundry list of technologies to implement on the site—your use of technology should be to facilitate the user experience, rather than to meet a set of arbitrary criteria. That said, effective and appropriate use of the technologies we cover in class—from client-side scripting to back-end scripts—is expected.

Your final project grade will be based on three components:

  • Design Document (20%)
  • Final Site and Presentation (40%)
  • Peer Evaluation (40%)

As you can see, the peer evaluation is a significant component of your final project grade, so if you haven’t been pulling your weight in the project up to this point, now would be a good time to step up to the plate and prove your worth to your groupmates. :)

Here’s the Peer Evaluation:

Peer Eval Forms

I’ve attached MS Word and PDF versions of the peer evaluation form to the group project assignment.
