Chrissy's Week 7 Commentary

Monday 5/14

We met as a group and discussed two more interviews, broke up the presentation into parts we could each work on individually, and emailed our source that has taken over the new maps website, trying to figure out a time we could meet with him. My part of the presentation was to discuss our field interviews and go over a specific example of one I did. I then went to my sorority meeting at 7:30 and passed out about 25 more surveys.

Tuesday 5/15

We had our presentation in class and realized we needed to really get working on our models.

Wednesday 5/16

I walked around the Stuard Commons to gather data for our prototype. I collected hours, locations, what facilities were porvided, and what (if anything) was sold in each place. I was able to gather this information for Sierra Summit, MOM, El Mercado, and the skate shop.

Thursday 5/17

I went back to Muir to gather a more detailed map of the Stuart Commons including bathrooms, mail boxes (drop off and pick up), number of seats available in the dinig halls and study lounges, ect.

Saturday 5/19

I collected all the waivers from my previous interview subjects, which I had previously forgotten. I also did another contextual interview, observing a secound year navigate maps.ucsd.edu to find all the computer labs and dining halls, for comparison.
