Case Study

Assessing an Email-Filtering Feature Proposal

Case context: A mail-security team is considering several design options. One proposal is to create features whose role is to capture meaning from the words and phrases in incoming messages.

Question: Does this proposal follow the stated direction? Explain why or why not.

Sample answer: Yes. The proposal matches the direction because it calls for feature creation, and those features are intended to interpret the message text itself.

Key points:

  • The correct decision is yes.
  • The proposal is about building features.
  • Those features are meant to capture meaning from email text.
  • The proposal fits the email-filtering setting.

Rubric: The response should give the correct decision and support it with both required ideas: feature construction and using those features to interpret the message text.
