User 3 Problems
Reflection
Evan
This course was a very interesting introduction/foray into the world of usability testing. I came into this class with high expectations, and the whole the class delivered. The lectures were engaging and interactive and I learned a lot. More specifically, I learned how to effectively user test, the 3 main principles (safety, efficiency, learn ability) and the specifics within each, the importance of typography and color schemes. The project gave us a chance to implement many of these ideas.
The main thing I would do differently in the class would be to try and focus on a more specific problem for our project. I think it would have been fruitful to work on just the Question Queue and use that as our app. I think the final product would have been a lot more polished, and we would have had more time to work on usability issues, which is the focus of the class. In addition, I would have liked to have made the lecture panel (I was late both lectures that my name was called). But hindsight is 20/20, and overall I had a great experience! (and a great TA :) )
