TemperTantrum

I'm very excited to tell that there was an article in Chronicle about our class project! Our professor (Ben Shneiderman) has invited the reporter to our lecture with presentations, and that's how we got publicity :P

The comments on the article are pretty strange though:

"How about professors that are too boring, or are too loud, or rooms that are too crowded, or weak wi-fi, or not enough hot chics in a class or…" - I don't think any of those problems can influence the sustainability on campus. So yeh, maybe someone who is more concerned about "not enough hot chics in a class" can work on these suggested projects.

 "Instead, I spent my time studying and learning" - and we are doing exactly what? It might seem that developing a simple tool like TemperTantrum is easy, but the visible simplicity of the tool does not always reflect the amount of work that gets put into it. One needs to investigate the problem, research the previous solutions to it, find credible sources confirming that the new solution can be more efficient, come up with the design, implement a prototype, conduct usability studies, and then revise, revise, revise... There is a lot of learning to do! And who thinks there isn't, then they should just go ahead and try it for themselves first.

"Is this a paid job for the students?" - no, it's not! It's a class project, and we work on it, while having 3-4 other classes and sometimes actual paid jobs too. 

Anyway, it's great to know that Chronicle cared enough to publish an article about us! Thanks to Jeffrey R. Young for taking his time to write about TemperTantrum :)
