This video provides instructions for assignment 3, a group project involving a heuristic application analysis of the game Plants vs. Zombies. Students are to analyze the game's usability and user experience, applying concepts learned in class, and submit a report documenting their findings.
The full transcript is already provided in your initial query. However, I can highlight important details within the transcript based on your assignment instructions. To do this effectively, please tell me what specific important details you're looking for. For example, are you interested in:
Once you specify what constitutes "important details" for you, I can provide a more focused response.
The instructor expects a visually appealing and easily readable report, ideally in a Word or OpenOffice document (not .pages). The report should be approximately 4-6 pages long, though the length is less important than the quality of the content. The length will vary depending on the number and size of the included screenshots. One page is insufficient, while excessively large screenshots will make the document unnecessarily long.
The report must include:
Consolidated findings: The findings from the individual group members' work should be consolidated into a single, cohesive group report. The report should not present findings separately by subgroup; rather, it should present the group's overall conclusions.
Annotated screenshots: Screenshots illustrating the findings must be included and annotated with boxes, arrows, and text to highlight the points being discussed. The annotations should make the report easier to understand and less wordy. Screenshots should not be simply inserted without accompanying explanation.
Section and subsection headings: The report should use headings and subheadings to organize the content logically. This improves readability and allows for quick access to the information the instructor is seeking.
Uncertainty section: A separate section detailing any uncertainties about user perception, based on differences in opinion among group members, must be included. Even minimal uncertainty should be addressed.
Use of formatting: Appropriate formatting (bullets, tables, bold, italics, underlining—used judiciously) should be used to improve the document's clarity and visual appeal.
In essence, the instructor wants a professional, well-organized, and visually clear document that effectively communicates the group's findings and analysis of Plants vs. Zombies. The instructor suggests getting feedback from another person before submission to ensure clarity and client satisfaction.
