Meal Plan Manager Tyler Herzog Maia Kavoures Bryan Leuszler Carl Smith Matt Smith Jordan Ternes
The Assignment • Do something . . . Together • Strangers at first • Use what you learn in class to benefit the students or society as a whole • This should be an extension of the class • Deadline – end of semester
Idea #1 • Craigslist for students • Dr. Steinberg advised to change projects • Too much work for one course • Agreed with Dr. Steinberg
Idea #2 • Dining Plan Evaluation? • Dining Services lacks necessary tools for students • Microsoft Excel • Exact calculations • Graphs • Dynamic Representation
First Meetings • Opened a communication channel • email • Established weekly meeting times • Daily TO DO lists
Delegation • Broke into groups • Divided tasks between groups • Based tasks on skill sets
Collaboration • Already had contact via email • Utilized Dropbox tool • Brought progress together
Challenges Data from Dining Services • Formatting the data • Learning Macros • Working with graphs • User friendly – instructions • Carl’s Video • Working with Dining Services • October madness Formatting via the macro Calculations on the formatted data Understandable meal plan information
Testing • Select target audience • Self-tests • Distributing project – 3 tiered testing • First friends, then random students • Considered feedback for improvement
Future Aspirations • Dynamic location adjustment • Percent spent by location • Self-sufficiency – incorporation with Dining Services
