Project 3: Programming Video Emoticons
| Grading criteria | Guiding questions | Check minus | Check | Check plus | Check plus plus |
| Prototype A Design Concept (30%) |
Did the design explore an interesting approach for capturing and viewing video emotions? Did the prototype adequately demonstrate the concept to convey the user experience? | Obvious design approach. | Interesting design approach that built on suggestions made in class. | Intriguing design approach that added a clever twist in the user experience. | Novel design approach that reflected creative design thinking. |
| Prototype A Implementation (10%) |
Was the prototype usable enough to get the concept? Was the code adequately written? | It worked, but took some guessing to get the basic concepts. | Implementation made it easy to understand and use the main concepts. | Implementation provided a compelling experience in terms of demonstrating the concept and smooth interaction. | Highly developed UI instantiated a particularly innovative and/or effective design. |
| Prototype B Design Concept (30%) |

| Comparison Reflection (20%) |
What did you learn from actually implementing both prototypes? What did you learn from comparing them? What insights did you gain to guide the next iteration? | Just got two prototypes working. | Comparison led to new insight into sharing emotions in messaging. | Unexpected insights about sharing emotions in messaging or next iteration. | Prototypes explored very different space. Very creative insights on next iteration. |
