Lauren and I meet today to set a plan for our research over the weekend. We determined that we wanted to do as much contextual research as possible, including interviews of students, monitors, and experts to reveal any SCAD-specific information. We will also do internet research to determine any widely accepted safety guidelines for each machine. I will also conduct a Heuristic Evaluation of the Band Saw during my Studio 3 sketch model creation this weekend.

We hope to discover any discrepancies between the Mental Models of the participants’, the Implementation Models we find on the internet, and the Manifest Model from the Heuristic evaluation of the Band Saw.
