T, 11/4: Working with clients

This week you’ll submit a proposal for the feasibility study. If you haven’t finalized your client for this unit and you haven’t spoken with me about it, you need to do so today.

This morning we’re talking about working with clients and on Thursday we’ll begin to discuss how to put together the actual report. Next week we’ll discuss presentations and front/back matter within the report. In the last three weeks we’ll dedicate time in class to hear briefings on your studies, whether they are actually complete or not.

1. Listen and evaluate two tech briefings. We’ll spend 10-15 minutes hearing from each of them and another 5 completing evaluation forms.

  • LinkedIn (Julia & Kelly).
  • Google apps (Ethan & Francisco).

2. Slideshow: Working with clients. Slides here.

3. Activity: Analyze example proposals. We’ll take a look at 3 examples that vary in approach and quality.
