Sixth Assignment
Design a novel Educational Game
Thursday May 18th
bring your goal and system design to facilitate discussion in a group of three
no poster is needed, you can bring your goal and system design on one or more pieces of paper (bring two copies)
you will spend 20 minutes on your materials, 5 minutes explaining to your group and 15 minutes receiving critical feedback from the other two people in the group (through discussion with the group)
your goal should be clear and well-articulated
your system design should address, in detail, how you solve the two or three main concerns that form the essence of your problem; choose appropriate notations to do so – your two group members should be able to take your design and create an implementation design without having to ask you any questions about how the solution works

Sixth Assignment
Design a novel Educational Game
Thursday May 25th
bring your goal, finalized system design, and first attempt at an implementation design on a poster to facilitate discussion through sticky notes
goal & system design: first half of the poster
implementation design: second half of the poster
your poster should be self-contained
your goal should be clear and well-articulated
your system design should address, in detail, how you solve the two or three main concerns that form the essence of your problem; choose appropriate notations to do so
your implementation design should lay out the structure of how you envision your educational game to be implemented (classes, components, APIs, reused code, third party solutions, …)

Tuesday May 30th
bring your goal, finalized system design, and implementation design in a document for others to review
your document should be self-contained (bring two copies)
your goal should be clear and well-articulated
your system design should address, in detail, how you solve the two or three main concerns that form the essence of your problem; choose appropriate notations to do so
your implementation design should lay out the structure and other necessary details of how you envision your educational game to be implemented (components, APIs, classes, reused code, third party solutions, …)
Thursday June 1st
you will receive feedback from and engage in discussion with three others who read your document

Sixth Assignment
Design a novel Educational Game
Thursday June 8th
bring your goal, finalized system design, and finalized implementation design in a document to be handed in in class
your goal should be clear and well-articulated
your system design should address, in detail, how you solve the two or three main concerns that form the essence of your problem; choose appropriate notations to do so
your implementation design should lay out, in detail, the structure and other necessary details of how you envision your educational game to be implemented (components, APIs, classes, reused code, third party solutions, …) – such that others should be able to take your document and actually build the system
