OK - so I have finished reviewing the surveys about parking and I’ve hit a wall. Many of you said that the price is already high, you would love to pay less however the goal of the survey was to determine the maximum amount that students will be willing to pay. Does anyone have any [...]
Another long post (apologies again, as well)
Published by October 31st, 2006 in Uncategorized. 2 CommentsAs I stated in my last post, David forced me to really take a hard look at my project. Though it may be late in the game, I think it both viable and necessary to change the design.Â

I don’t think I can say anything meaningful about the game itself or its utility as a testing [...]
