Senior Project, The Holiday

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?

Over the break I did some research on apps and what makes them user friendly and why. Since Cal Poly was on break I did not work on my mentorship. I also talked to some family and asked then what they thought was important in a user friendly app.


2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I found out that it is very important for the user to be able to achieve their primary task on the app on the first try. A lot of companies will not put their app out on the market until they do several tests and checks to make sure that the app is very accessible to the client. This is one of the sources that I used: http://www.aqabatech.com/article.php?article=331
3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would probably talk to my mentor Tim Raymond up at Cal Poly because he is very informed on the different software and is currently developing an app for Cal Poly himself.
