Privilege Walk Project Description
The Privilege Walk exercise demonstrates how your specific collection of characteristics, aspects, and events in your life can accelerate or hinder your progress and achievments in life, relative to other people with a different collection of those charactersitics, aspects, and events. It is intended to initiate and facilitate a meaningful dialog on impacts of privilege, diversity, and inclusion among various groups of people.
Here are links to two descriptions of the Privilege Walk exercise:
This is the third year for the Privilege Walk project, with a faculty member from the York College Psychology program serving as your client Dr. Randi Shedlosky. You will find the initial project requirements here.
You will be continuing development of this project, building upon the accomplishments of last year’s CS Capstone I (CS400) and Capstone II (CS402) teams. You will acquire the information for your project proposal, Use Cases and User Stories, and Requirements from your client, as well as from the prior team’s progress (Final Technical Reports from CS400 and CS402). Your client will also establish your tasks and priorities in consultation with us, and with your input, as you plan and develop the sprint schedule for your agile development approach.
This project will likely be a single team of 3-4 members focusing mainly on the administrative tasks for the Privilege Walk project. However, you will likely need to make tweaks, adjsutments, and/or add new features to the following areas:
- Front End (UI / UX)
- Backend and Database
- Data Visualization
You wil be working under the supervision of Ricky Dean, a member of last year’s Privilege Walk Project Team.
This project will again span two semesters: CS400 (Fall 2023) and CS402 (Spring 2024). We highly recommend that you continue working on this project in CS402 in the Spring, as it will provide you with a valuable year-long, comprehensive, client-based, team project experience, and CS402 counts as a CS elective toward your CS major requirements.
