Week 8 Status Report - Kwiatkowski
November 10, 2013

What did you accomplish this week?

This week, we made our presentation to Dr. Jia. I gained some valuable feedback from Dr. Jia regarding user feedback. This lead me to investigate how to gather user feedback. I am considering using Google Surveys to do so.
I also read up on user interface design.

What challenges did you face?

This week, my greatest challenge was time management, as I had family visiting from out of town. Luckily, I was able to get them to leave early enough to make significant progress.

What do you hope to accomplish this next week?

In addition to the normal team manager duties, in the next week I have an appointment to meet with the IVCC Dean of Natural Sciences to get his permission to use IVCC students for beta test. With his permission, I will go to his department meeting to solicit more faculty members (and students) to participate in the beta test.
I also plan to meet with a research analyst co-worker to help develop evocative website feedback questions, as I have very limited experience with designing survey questions.
