Discussion Notes

This is gold!!

• Be careful about examining too many phases
• You may focus on just 1 phase
• Ex. The doing of work and not the winning of work

Card Sorting

• Confirmatory vs. constructive

Remote Interviews

• Plan/expect to conduct remote interviews
• This is simpler and more convenient

Thesis Proposal Structure

1. Problem; why does it matter (small)
2. Literature review
3. Methods; how
   • Who, what, when, where, why…
4. Conclude with problem; why it matters, again
