This week I met with a few people on Friday and with nearly everyone over the course of Sunday. In those meetings, we finished off the consolidated sequence models and the last little bit of the affinity, and started the visioning process. Because of a dam cold that seems to be floating around, I missed a meeting on Tuesday and Thursday.
On Friday, a few of us met up without much direction. Some of us looked at our consolidated models and some of us gravitated toward the affinity. Ultimately, we ended up working on the last few details of the affinity. This was somewhat difficult as the last few post-its were the least understood. Some information was re-organized in a way that might be useful to us later and other information was removed or placed somewhat awkwardly into a category if we deemed that information not essential to our design. It's important to recognize the point of diminishing returns, and I think we may have only slightly pasted that point as our affinity has been quite useful for future understanding of our users.
On Sunday, I met with a few people at the beginning of the day and the rest of the team showed up a few hours later. At the beginning of the day we worked the consolidated sequence models and then started on visioning. I enjoyed visioning as I and the rest of the team felt really productive doing it. Everyone had a lot of idea's to propose, nearly all of which were generated from the affinity wall and most of which seem like they might be pretty cool. This seemed to remind the team why we had decided to do a project on this subject in the first place and to refresh a few people's interest in the project, myself included.
Over the next week, we are going to get as far along as we can, and really try for some prototyping, which will require a lot meetings and logistical gymnastics. Since I am much healthier now, I am planning on being at all those meeting and running as many prototyping sessions as I can. Towards the end of the week, we will be starting our presentation and therefore our paper. It's going to take a good amount of time, but judging for our visioning session, we will be presenting some very interesting ideas about improving the work of students.

dude I got the thing for you. You lioke gaming. Be a referral now and it is safe and trusted everywhere.
This is not a bid for an XBOX 360, it is only a way to get one for free AND IT WORKS!!!
If you do place a bid, you will have to pay me… not a good thing as you will receive nothing in return.
What I am offering is a way to get yourself a free Xbox 360!! It really is very simple and it isn’t one of those “complete 10 sponsor offers” blah blah blah B.S. we’ve all seen before.
It is close to the same concept however (don’t be scared, please read on). Instead of completing offers upon offers costing you hard earned money, all you need are referrals. The good thing is that these referrals don’t even have to be people you know. I myself have a few very close friends, but lack the enormous email address book that most have. No problem!! I simply created this auction to have complete strangers look at the idea and possibly become a referral for my account.
If you’re like me you will already be wondering how this process works. Well, let me explain it to you. First of all you click on the link below. Then you will need to select the gift you will be receiving. Please note the gift you choose will determine how many referrals you will need to achieve*. Enter an email address and fill in typical information (name, city, password, etc.) to get your account ready. Next is the key selection; it will ask you what type of account you want to create… points or referrals. Choose referrals! Now here’s the only catch in the whole process. You need to fill out one offer yourself. Please see below on how I got through this step without paying a penny!!! Now that you’ve got your account up and running all you have to do is attract referrals of your own. Simply send out emails to your friends, try doing what I’ve done on Ebay or place your link on Xbox blogs or anything else you can think of. That’s it!!! You now have your very own Xbox 360 on its way to you house!!
Paste this link in the address bar.

*The great thing about your gift selections is that you can change it at any time and cash in for that item. So for instance let’s say you choose the platinum bundle and originally need 14 referrals. You then get your fist 8 referrals and you hit a slow period and have not received another referral for awhile, you could simply change your gift to the Xbox 360 System package and PRESTO!... you already qualify for that item!!!!
HOW I GOT PASSED THE OFFERS STEP
It was very simple actually. First of all find the Stamps.com offer (can usually be quickly found under the “Most Popular Offers” section). You will need to fill in the basics here as well to get your trial account rolling. This next page is typically where I will lose most people, but please read to the end and understand how easy this process can be. Here you will need to enter your credit/debit card info. Finally you will download the postage printing software, open the program and log in. Congratulations, you just completed your offer!!! Now here’s the key… make a note for yourself 20 days from today. Simply call up the service number (877-782-6736) and cancel your trial. I simply told the lady I thought it would be a good deal for me, but I found even with all my mailed bills and auction items, the monthly membership was still more than I would normally pay for postage. Therefore it was not going to work for me. She did not try to sell me on staying or ask me to accept other offers. She simply cancelled my account! The reason I say 20 days is that if you call and cancel the day you sign up, I don’t believe you will get credit for the offer. I cancelled mine on the 20th day and I still have credit towards my 360!
