F26 CS 449 / 649 Week 3

Lecture

Each team member should independently develop a rough draft of a persona (3 -4 sentences). Personas are your best guesses about who you will design for, and represent the type of people whom you will interview and observe throughout the term.
In this course, you’ll aim to conduct interviews between 6 - 8 people who are not your classmates. To prepare for these interviews, you’ll first conduct some preliminary interview with two CS449/649 classmates from other teams. Before this studio session, identify at least two classmates to conduct mock-interviews. To prepare for subsequent interviews with real people, also identify at least two non-classmates (or a general recruitment strategy) that you want to interview as you design and evaluate your course projects.
