This week we were required to read chapter 2 in Designing for Emotion and state what we agree and disagree with as we read the chapter.

So I decided to stick with the second group that I outlined in my “stakeholders” blog. I am targeting junior college students that are looking to transfer to a four-year school. I remember when I was one of those students, … Continue reading →
I would like my second stakeholder to be the parents of the incoming freshman or transfer student.
