Observations
Most of the tasks were easily completed by the users. In some cases, we had issues with the last two tasks. From our observations, we realized that it was difficult for users to understand how to find a way to sync with gcal. We had intended that the user click on the small calendar icon on the same row of buttons, but that was not apparently obvious to many of them. They complained that they weren't sure whether to click on the icon or to roll-over it. Also, it was not easy to find on the large screen.
In addition, users had a difficult time with finding 6.005. Although we had set-up the system so there were many ways to accomplish this, we had intended users to use the search bar underneath the main buttons. Various users went back to pages which they remembered having 6.005 as a class listed, or would go through some other convoluted pathway. Most said that the search should be better accentuated, or that there should be a more visible way of not being in one of the three modes provided.
