Tell some stories
• Please tell some stories about past
unsuccessful/bad brainstorming you engaged
in
• Was it bad because it went against IDEO
suggestions?
• Was it bad because it followed IDEO
suggestions?
• Or was it bad for other reasons?
Discussing Assignment 9
• Do you think the ideas in this book about how
to brainstorm are good in general? What’s
good in specific? What’s bad in specific?
Questions? Comments?
Assignment 10
• Problem Shift “The Fresh Mind”
Assignment 10
• Your goal is to take someone else’s data set
from the class
• And improve their model any way you can
– Could be new features (preferred option!)
– Could be a different statistical/data mining
framework
Assignment 10
• Write a report that discusses your process
• You don’t need to prepare a presentation
• But be ready to discuss your work in class
Assignment 10
• You will be graded both on
– Your work on the new data set
– Whether you obstructed someone from working
on your data set
• You won’t be graded on whether they do a good job
with your data
• But you will be graded down if they don’t get your data
until Saturday night, or if you don’t give it to them in a
usable form, or if you don’t explain what “RYAN7”
means

Ryan’s class)
