Project Description of Target System (5 out of 5)

Comments:

Installation manual (17 out of 20)

installation instructions
Software available: NO, please make compressed files directly available from Web page. Just put the zipped files in your project directory.
Target platform described: OK

Comments:

User guide (15 out of 20)

directions geared toward user: OK, but they appear to be inaccurate with respect to the running prototype demonstrated. Double clicking does not bring up the project descriptions, nor does it produce a description in the text boxes below the map. The only way to do that is through the Projects button. It is also very confusing what the relation between the staff and projects is.
supporting information (screen dumps, access to prototype): you should provide screen dumps.
clarity: not good

Comments: As I recall, the show path functionality doesn't work in your prototype. It should not be mentioned here.

Guide to the source code (19 out of 20)

description of how code is structured in file system (or equivalent level of detail): OK, but you did not describe the map building tool at all.
clarity

Comments:

Live demonstration (27 out of 30)

Attendance: all present
evidence of running system: OK
Discussion: OK

Comments: I understand that you built a map tool and that it was therefore a tedious task to create a map of the GVU Lab. But since your original charter was to create Cyberguide for the GVU Lab, you should have put some effort into making a realistic portion of the GVU lab with projects assigned to it. Much of the promised functionality of this system (positioning, ability to access project descriptions directly from the map) are not provided in the final system. You are explicit about the lack of positioning, but not about the lack of direct access to projects from map nor about lack of show path functionality. Will there be another version of the system with this functionality before the end of the quarter? If so, I will adjust your grade here. If not, then you must change your documentation accordingly.

This document will not be officially regraded. If you do make significant changes to this document, then please indicate that when you turn in your final notebook and I will judge then whether you deserve a grade adjustment.
