A check-in is just a weekly opportunity to score some points and ensure that you are keeping up with the course content. The requirements vary from week to week, but may involve responding to a survey, taking a brief online quiz, or participating in a discussion. They are due by midnight on the designated day.
Please complete this quick survey about your background and interests.
Choose one of the mobile app ideas and create a 1-2 page proposal about that application – what it will do, how users will interact with it, etc. Show some sample screens of the app (just drawings okay). Just submit the document to me by email, with subject “CS164 app proposal.” As a reminder, the apps ideas we discussed were:
authentication (fingerprint, retina/iris scan)
advising communication
general social chat app
advice column
real estate browsing
game (puzzle, or simple graphics)
Follow the instructions in the software setup page in the notes. Use Piazza to ask questions if you encounter any problems.
