...
- User concerned that the Prerequisite/Not Offered is unclear. (Hard to do on Paper Prototypes).
- Also asked about having professor information for classes (For Example, 6.034 with Winston is usually preferred to 6.034 without Winston)
Wiki Markup
Task 2:
- User wanted to know what recitations his friends were in (Informed him that’s Task 3)
- User wanted indications that he had selected all the class times needed for the classed (add some sort of check mark to indicate).
- (Also, add a conflict tag is there are conflicts at the schedule level, not just the 4 year plan level
- Does this register him for the classes (No. Likely will not do this in final implementation either)
...
- Likes system. Has lots of questions about functionality.
- Spend time discussing paper prototype, how it would look in the real system.
- Likes Dragging feature, would like to see more of that. (Should we add Dragging on the Semester/Calender view?)
User 6, Iteration 2
Task 1:
- User is confused about what is clickable, what is draggable (considered printing out little cursors, but it is late. Real webpage will afford this)
- User is concerned about lag times (Explained this is paper prototype, made fake loading icon. User is amused) .
- User tries to click classes, frustrated. (Give hint as to drag).
- Would like to add “unavailable/busy times like my work” and see conflicts with that.
Task 2:
- User remembered Drag paradigm from Task 1 and tries to apply in Task 2. This does not work (THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, inherent to paper prototype. MAKE SURE HIGHER FIDELITY PROTOYPE DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
- User asks if this works for classes later than 5pm (the latest time shown on our calendar), (user is informed this is a paper constraint. User not amused)
- User tries to browse for classes outside of the task we specified. (We do not have screens for this, WE NEED TO MAKE SOME). User wants to know more information about the classes he’s adding to the calendar. User would like to know class ratings, professors, etc. (We can add this)
Task 3:
- User does not make semester calendar with friends, User would not use social feature.
- User comments that this is similar to Spotify (the social bar. Yes, this was the original inspiration for it). User likes Spotify.
- User would like to export schedule to people not in the system (consider adding this)
Comments:
- Search option is not fully shown. Does not entirely know what can be done after a class is searched and how to add it. In both the four-year plan and the current semester schedule.
- No way to browse classes. In order to search for electives, would have search for a specific number which would require needing to know a class. Would instead like to browse class, like using the subject listings page.
