Evaluating the Readings
Dimensions of Consideration Impactful, solves problem / drives adoption Innovative, suggests new directions Orienting, clarifies the research landscape Clear, exemplar of good communication
How do the papers we have read map onto the dimensions? Is there a useful typology?

Final Project PresentationsTuesday June 9, 3:30-6:30pm, 104 Gates
8 minute presentations 6 min for research, 2 min for questions Start with an overview:
1 sentence statement of your research result 1 slide / 4 sentences of what you did and why
Rest of time on details. Assume audience is familiar with HCI issues: focus on your work
Post slides to course website

Final Project PaperThursday June 11, 7am - 2 pages, ACM
format Note that it is hard to write a good 2 page paper!
Try writing a longer paper first, then trim down
The abstract is the most important part Communicate the contributions exactly: don’t be
vague!
Related work is important, but be judicious Frame prior work in terms of how it relates to your work Be clear how you build on and extend prior research
Use favorite paper(s) as inspirational templates Early submissions are appreciated!
