10/09/2023 - User Interviews

Objectives:

• Figure out if CS students would be willing to use an interactive flow chart over the PDF and how willing

• Figure out if non-CS students (particularly JSOM students) would be interested in using a flow chart over their existing exel sheets

• What is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd users do when we tell them it’s interactive and tell them to plan a semester?

  • Look for dropoff points

• Advantages an interactive flow chart would offer over PDF flow chart:

  • Courses can be easily moved when students take them in different courses (prereq/coreq can be easily viewed despite moving courses around)

  • Additional progress trackers (our current sidebar), not much of a benefit?
