Assignment 11 The Slog An Assignment Two Parts

The Slog, Part One You need to draw a picture of “The Slog” Any interpretation of those words you like, from quicksand, to trudging through the snow, to Jabba the Hut You can freehand it (and scan it) or draw it in a paint program You need to email this to me with your assignment You don’t have to be a professional artist, but you will be graded down if you don’t take this part of the assignment seriously Remember the IDEO book!

The Slog, Part Two You need to make your model better in any way you can Next week in class, be ready to discuss how you improved your feature set, algorithm, etc. And write a brief report for me You need to get a better number than the best number you have so far!
