The three people that I chose to peer review my project were my friend Tyler, my mom, and my grandfather.

The three questions that I chose to ask them about my project are as follows:

Is the content organized a clear way to all users?

Is the Neatline exhibit easy to understand and navigate?

What information, if any is noticeably missing or could be improved upon?

The answers that I received from all of them varied quite a bit. Tyler, a computer savvy math major found the program very simple to use and easy to follow. He thought the information was organized in a unique and interesting way. Given his experience in the math fields, it is hard for him to wrap his head around a project with no empirical data or evidence, so he suggested making an attempt to try to fit that in somewhere.

My mom on the other hand found the program completely non user friendly and confusing. Given her lack of computer skills, along with her lack of patience, she was quick to give up on trying to review the project and quickly became frustrated with the program. Although, when I walked her through the steps and showed her my write ups and concepts behind the technology, she thought it to be interesting, yet still confusing for people unfamiliar to the software and programs. She thought anything I could do to make it more easily navigable would help the project.

My Grandpa on the other hand loved the project. Although he was unfamiliar with Neatline, I was able to walk him through it. He has a love for geography, so the mapping of points and posts was very interesting for him. He thought it to formatted clearly, and navigation easy enough for most. His main suggestion was to keep pushing for more information, specifically about the transportation means for these projects.
