Monday

Met up with group again to dicuss our data presentation, and also to talk to chrissy about the interviews she conducted. We have split up all the buildings in Muir so that we can each focus on certain ones. Our data presentation will cover briefly some of the main problems we found from our interiews, field interviews, and paper surveys. The group broke up presentation topics. We dicussed our needs for more younger student interviews as well as our desperate need for visitors. As a student in SD, not from the area, it s difficult to me to find people outside of school who have never been to the campus, yet are on willing to do an in depth, and slightly boring interview. I think I will be interviewing one of my coworkers, who isn't a UCSD student but has been to campus a couple time, as we work off campus through UCSD. We are trying to make our data as broad as possible, so visitor data is essential to the project. Visitors are some of the most common users of the UCSD maps site, as they have no preexisting knowledge with which to help their navigation of the site.

Tuesday
Gave our data presentation, and handed out several paper surveys. Entered Ken's survey results into an excel document. Our dat a has been very useful in giving us insight into what the primary use for the majority of students is. While the data is not in depth, it is easy for us to accumulate a large quantity of it.
