From  the  forum  on  T-­‐Square:  Your  final  topic  proposal  must  consist  of  the  following:  You  idenSfy  a  communicaSon  or  communicaSon  effort  of  an  organizaSon.  This  could  be  a  manual,  web  site  (or  porSon  of  one),  TwiVer  campaign,  periodic  report  format,  formal  report  format,  etc.  For  example,  you  might  note  that  a  company  has  a  TwiVer  campaign  promoSng  its  wares,  or  that  an  engineering  firm  has  a  parScular  format  it  uses  for  reports  of  a  parScular  kind  of  test.  Ideally,  the  communicaSon  or  effort  will  be  one  where  you  have  an  insSnct  or  intuiSon  that  there  is  a  beVer  way  of  doing  it.  You  must  idenSfy  a  person  or  persons  responsible  for  that  communicaSon.  This  can  be  the  CEO  of  a  company,  for  example,  but  it  would  be  beVer  if  it  were  a  person  more  directly  responsible  for  the  communicaSon  or  communicaSon  effort.  You  must  be  able  to  perform  an  analysis  of  the  effecSveness  of  that  communicaSon  or  communicaSon  effort.  That  could  consist  of  usability  tesSng,  but  it  could  also  include  conducSng  interviews  or  a  survey  of  people  who  are  users  of  or  targets  of  the  communicaSon  and  assessing  the  communicaSon  or  effort  based  on  their  responses.  It  will  almost  certainly  also  involve  library  research.  Your  final  project  will  consist  of  the  following  components:  *  A  formal  report  analyzing  the  audience  for,  and  assessing  the  effecSveness  of,  the  communicaSon  or  effort,  directed  at  the  responsible  person.  *  A  redesign  or  reconcepSon  of  the  communicaSon  or  effort.  *  A  leVer  to  the  responsible  person  introducing  the  formal  report  and  the  redesign  or
