Good morning.
Morning.
How's everyone today?
Good you.
yeah, pretty good. I'll give you an update in a minute. Good morning. So we have a presentation a few minutes from with C. Triple. S.
I'll just share my screen for a quick second. If that's okay. If you could let me. Okay, just give me a second here.
No, that's not. It's secure. A should be able to know.
Perfect.
Thank you. So Hi, guys, just really quickly, my name is Nabira Siddiqi. I'm obviously a student in this class as well. I'm also the president of the Computer Science Student Society this year. I just wanted to thank Dr. Heptang for letting me take a few minutes to talk to you guys about some events we have coming up while I'm talking. Please feel free to scan this QR code and join our discord and follow us on Instagram. So you guys can keep updated on all the events that we're having some of the things that I wanted to. Highlight is we're going to have. We're going to be having a meeting greet event tomorrow. It's Tuesday, yeah, tomorrow. In Lasite 1, 32. I'd really like for you guys to come out. Just say, Hi to the Css team. See how you can get involved. Tell us what you want us to do this year. What kinds of things you'd like us to advocate for plan events, stuff like that. And then this weekend. There's also the science gala. The tickets are gonna be so closing tonight. So please buy your tickets. Come out. It's this big party all the science students are. Gonna be there. It's gonna be lots of fun. it's $35. Now. Early Bird is sold out. But again tickets close tonight. So please buy your tickets. And I'd love to see more computer science students out. And then, lastly, we have our github workshop on the ninth. We're gonna be having an in class teaching sort of thing. And then we're gonna be working on some projects after that. So a way to kind of grow your technical skills. But yes, these are some events that are coming up. Please follow us on Instagram and our discord and stuff to keep updated with these events. I'd love to see you out, and if you have any questions please let me know I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you so much for letting me speak.
You're welcome. So do you still use Facebook?
Not quite. We do have one. I don't think we updated as much. But we do put out some of our updates on there as well.
Okay.
yeah, But yeah, we send out emails and stuff, too. So watch out for those. But yeah, thank you so much.
You're welcome. Any questions about C. 2 plus. So how how big, is this masquerade gala going to be
there's about 400 students, expected
okay.
and faculty is welcome, too, I know, I sent out a email to Dr. Hover to forward that invitation to faculty as well. So you as well. And any other colleagues, we'd love to have you guys there as well.
Okay, so
is that Friday or Saturday, Saturday.
Okay? And we need to have a inspired costume.
It is kind of like a gala dress. And we're gonna be selling masks at the entrance so like $2 for masks. But yes, it's encouraged to buy a M. Bring a mask or buy a mask because it is a mask grade bowl.
Okay.
thank you. Yep.
Any other questions check the chat. If okay. So anyone going to the gala. Okay, we've got a couple that's good to hear 3. Alright. let me share my screen, and we'll hey? So there's a URL. For more information on Linktree. Okay? So my response, I looked at the responses from last day. and a quick summary is that. yes, design is rewarding and fun. So I think people working at Ideo on other firms like that have it good. although it's not the only place you can have fun or enjoy your work alright, so there's some comments about scheduling responses. Maybe 11 PM. Is is a bit arbitrary, and I could make it at midnight, but then I decided to try it for our next response to make it before noon to-morrow. See if I've got okay. So this one opens at 1245. That's correct. and you can see it right. I am sorry I didn't make it visible right right at the start last last day. You can check that. It's visible. Let's look at the upcoming events to see how it appears. So you can do attendance. Still. Think that this should be first in the list. anyway. So do you think it's more helpful to see opens and closes for thing for items like this? This one says it's closes. or is it more helpful to have them both listed like 1245 PM. Until tomorrow at noon. Let's do. Let's see if I can do it. Survey quickly. A. So, can you see this zoom screen
create survey? Yep.
yeah, okay. So this is interesting. I can create and then says, Choose a survey type. I can create a survey, or I can create a polar, quit poll or quiz. not polar, but pol or quids. which is more helpful. Having open and closed times as separate events. Okay. Now, I have to go back here and activate it. Didn't I save it? Some surprising results so far I'll give you a say another minute to answer. okay, so I'm gonna end the poll share the results. So it's about 60, 40 for 60% versus 40% for having a single event to list both open and closed times together. So I have one more question then. So if if we have. instead of having both styles. or maybe we could have a there could be a a selection for the course settings to say how calendar events are going to be displayed. So based on that style selection. should all the events be displayed in the same format. So consistency is one of those heuristics we talked about. Okay, that's 2 min for the poll. So I'll share those results. Anyone who answered No. like it. Like to make any comments about your choice in the chat or with the microphone. Okay. So so we have a couple people who don't use the calendar. Let's try one more question. Then. I can't say why that that was being underlined. But I'm going to suggest the word that something that's not a word. You can't. You can't see me editing this, anyway. so I'm giving you a couple choices here for the calendar. I didn't give the title. But, anyway. is the calendar an important source of information for you? Yeah. So. my kalo. that's a good comment that the setting could be a user preference instead of a class. A class decision may be made by the instructor. Okay, I think we've got our or participation as much as you're going to get. So 75% said, yes, calendar's important. 21% said, Keep track of them themselves. And 2 people said they use the links that I provide. Okay, so a non-binding snapshot of what's going on in class. So the nice thing about moodle is that its open source. So we have the opportunity to get involved in the project and suggests changes and implement them. Okay. any thoughts. So any questions or concerns about that. Alright. So let's go back to here. So I thought we'd look at this video about Norman doors. It's It's not too long. And it's fun. There's this door on the tenth floor of the Vox media office that I hate so much. Damn it! Here we get this door wrong pretty regularly. Have you seen people misuse it all the time? Everything! Me, too, Kelsey. But here's the thing. As soon as you start looking for confusing doors. They are everywhere. It's fresh. Why. I feel like Roman Mars would know about this. This is 99% invisible. And those doors you hate are called Norman door. What's a Norman door? Don Norman wrote the essential book about design. He is the Norman of the Norman door. Alright. And where is this guy? You must go to San Diego. Hi, Joe! Hey! I'm Don Norman, I'm see. You know, it's hard to describe what I am. Well, he's been a professor of psychology, professor of Cognitive Science Professor of Computer Science, a vice President of Advanced technology at Apple. But for our purposes I was spending a year in England. I got so frustrated with my inability to use the light switches and the water taps and the doors even, that I wrote this book. If I continue to get that door wrong. is it my fault? No. in fact, if you continually get it wrong, is a good one, but if other people continue to get it wrong? Good sign! That's a really bad door. A Norman door is one where the design tells you to do the opposite of what you're actually supposed to do, or gives the wrong signal and needs a sign to correct it. Why does it need of instruction? Manual? That is why do you have to have a sign that says, push or pull. Why not make it obvious? It can be obvious if it's designed right? There are a couple of really simple basic principles of design, and one of them I'll call discoverability. When I look at something I should be able to discover what operations I can do. The principle applies to a whole lot more than doors. And it's amazing with many of our computer systems. Today, you look at it. There's no way of knowing what's possible? Should I tap it once, twice, or even triple tab, so discover ability when it's not there. Well, you don't want to use something. Another is feedback. and so many times there's no feedback. You have no idea what happened, what, why it happened. And these principles form the basis of how designers and engineers work to day commonly known as user or human centered design. I've decided at 1 point the word user was a 50 Grady. Why not call people people. And it's amazingly simple and amazingly seldom practice. We call iterative and sort of goes around in a circle. We go out. We observe what is happening today reserve people doing it to answer. And from that we say, Oh, we have some ideas. Here's what we should perhaps propose to do. Then you prototype your solution and test it quite often. These are wrong at first, but each time we go around the circle we do a better job of making the device until the point. We're actually making something that really works. And this process has spread all over the world. And it turns out it's improving. Live from better, everyday things, like the ones that don't, using the same process to solve huge problems in public health, in developing countries, water sanitation, farming, lots more. So what it'd be a better human centered door. An ideal door is one that as I walk up to it and walk through it, I'm not even aware that I had open the door and shut it. So we had a door which had a flat plate. What could you do? Nothing. The only thing you can do is push. See? You wouldn't need a sign. A flat plate. You push this kind of push bar with the piece sticking out on one side works well, too, so you can see what side you're supposed to push them. Vertical bars could go either way. A simple little hand thing, though, sort of indicates hold, but we still have terrible, terrible. so many of them. There are lots of things in life they're fairly standardized, and therefore, whether I buy this house or not is not a function, whether it has good doors in it. So except for safety reasons, stores tend not to be improved, but the tyranny of bad doors must end. I think that it's a really designed. That's why misleading. You're right, Becky. You're goddamn right, and if we all thought like you. Well, we might just design a better world together. It won't open because it's a security door. What have you 2 do. hey? So, as you can see since I started making this video. They've since. Changed the door a little bit. Guess it's a step in the right direction. Thank you so much for watching and to 99% invisible. One of my favorite podcasts. It was so much fun to collaborate with them, thank you and check them out on any podcast app or 99. PI. Dial. pour your doorbell camera company and cancel the. So would you think that video I apologize for bad language. There's this door on the tenth floor of the Vox media office that I hate now. I made the chat window exceptionally large here, and I'm try to bring it back in. Okay. So what I thought we might do is look at an example of something that II find frustrating. So what I'd like to do is create some breakout rooms and give you some ideas to look at. What are some issues that you might have with this design. This is a little bit different than it used to be. but not substantially some issues, and then some ways, you might think about changing it. If this is an academic schedule. Can you discover how to use it? And I guess feedback is a little is a little harder with a piece of paper with a document. Let's think about that, and think about ways. You might present this information differently. That might be easier to. or they might address some of the concerns you have that you identify. Does that make sense? Okay, so let me. I'm going to look for white boards for you to to. So I might have to go somewhere else and create a whiteboard. Let me try and do that. Sorry you can't see this. I don't believe so. I'm not sure it's not clear to me how if I can say, each breakout room gets a a whiteboard. So I have a whiteboard open here and we'll see how that works. Okay, so breakout rooms. But would you like me to assign them automatically or let you choose. hey? So we have 50 participants, I believe. 49. So let's do 6 breakout rooms. I'll give you. So I have 8 people in a group. Actually, maybe we'll do 8 breakout rooms with 6 people in a group. Okay? And we'll give you 10 min to think about that. And then if it's going well. maybe another 5 min, and then we'll get back together. Does that seem okay? Any questions? Okay. there's there's what I'm asking you to look at. Okay. here we go. But I'm just going to be away for a minute here. but I'll be back right very soon.
We can't hear you.
Okay? Well, I said, we're back now. And did anyone have a positive experience with the breakout room and the discussion.
Yes.
yep, it was a good discussion.
Good. So any ideas that came out
there were a few ideas like in the color coding. If you look at the chart on the left hand side, the class dates, it's green, so you know, it should be uniform. we in in our breakout room. We discussed that the other important dates and deadlines should be in a separate box or column, and then so it's not cluttered. Then there's some, you know, issues in the date format as well in the fall. 2024 column. If you look at, look closely. That dates are not probably yeah or mattered.
You got a different schedule than the one we had a 2023, 2024 academic scheduled.
Okay. let me switch to that one. I think I have it here.
Yeah, there we go.
Okay? So which column
on the fall column
fall 2023, and the other important dates and deadlines
right beside the giant white box that has no point.
Oh, yeah.
the date formats are kind of back and forth.
Yeah.
we also talked about kind of even just separating other important dates and deadlines off of the top initial box. Just because it's like reading it all is one. It's highly conglomerated. First it was overwhelming for me, but as I read it more and more and more, I kind of started to understand the scheme of how this report was set up.
So anyone think about whether it's good to have it? This basic format is okay, or is it better to have key dates. because the dates in the columns are repeated it a little bit. They're this. They look like. To me. It seems like there's there are separate things going on because they're listed in the column on the right hand side of the table. But I see that they're repeated. So. for example, 13, September 23 is repeated a couple times. 20 seventh September 23 is. repeat it a couple times. Would it make sense to have it more of a calendar. Say here for On this date the following things are happening. Anyone think about that possibility?
So everyone I did test. I want productivity like we can. and I use several cluster. We can cluster it in several parts like for the summer.
for the fall it should be separated. It will be more feasible and understandable to peoples
alongside that for the visualization in my perception, if we use different color for the important dates like for class dates, where you using pre colors. But for the tuition fees and prepun, or any anything like that, if we can use some types of deep print color, it will be more eye-catching. And it will comes up to people easily actually.
so this is a little bit of a perceptual issue. What about people who are color blind? We have to be careful in our selections. And
yes, sir, because in the information visual edition, we see that if we use different color or different shape, it will be more V visible to people right? So their color can be infectful, I guess. But we should consider the color of the
issues with the color for the black color. Black people like you.
Okay.
another big thing. That kind of boggled. My mind is, a lot of the border boxes have solid or bigger bolded borders, which kind of catch your eye, and when you start reading through it, you kind of draw towards those thicker borders.
Hmm. the one I'm showing now are the 2425, one
the link that who was it? Who sent it in. Chan. Yeah, the one that he posted. If you look at that one online, it's mean 2 lines down. There's a thicker border, and then you kind of go through it, and you can just see there's a bunch of different border sizes on some of these kind of draws your eyes to places. You don't want it to be.
Yeah. okay. Yeah. So I notice that there's like the headings are repeated here halfway down other important dates and deadlines has a new section. so maybe maybe the the other important dates and deadlines could be more of a calendar format. so it would avoid the giant white box here. so I saw Khan from cadence about. It's useful to look up dates by having the the the title on the on the left, and then searching through it. But maybe so. The first first part of the table, the upper part of the table is good, the way it is, or organized by important dates. and then where those important dates are listed. but the bottom part maybe could be in a calendar format.
Yeah, I definitely agree with that kind of separates it a little bit too easier reading.
Okay, so we're almost out of time. So I was gonna tell you. this is not to get sympathy. But it's been quite a few days. So we had the memorial service for my mom on Saturday. and then Saturday night we heard that my mother in law was hit by a car, and she's in hospital now. So my wife went to Vancouver today. Where is going to Vancouver and Upkiple? She'll she'll be at the airport by now. So it's it's been an interesting few days. Certainly. Another question I'm going to pose for you on your courses is whether you think the Velcro suit idea or the video from Letterman. See if you think it's relevant still. anyway, I'll phrase a question for you to respond to. and you can. and I'll ask you about whether you you're feeling about the timings for the responses and quizzes as well. Okay. So here we are at the end of time to day. Thank you very much for your engagement. Have a great day, and we'll see you on Thursday.
Perfect. See you Thursday.
Any questions or concerns. Okay. anyway, I'll be around for my office hours on Wednesday. I have a department meeting and 3, so I'll have to
alright see if you can
grab me between one and 3, and I'll make up the other hour some other time. Okay. thank you. Thanks again. Bye.
right. I'm sorry. Professor. Can we get some information about the assignments?
Yes, we'll talk about that on next Thursday. Okay, perfect. Thank you so much.

I would say have them both listed is more helpful
for me personally
both
yes
Yes
yes
Yes
it personally doesn't matter to me, I don't really use the calendar myself. I keep a detailed agenda lol
Reacted to "it personally doesn'..." with 👍
I'm the same way
User could specify in settings which way they prefer to be displayed. Maybe more important events would be one way, the rest the other way, depending on their preference.
Sounds good!
Good video
I think I have seen this video before in one of the classes
It's entertaining and covers the topic pretty well
The video shows that when designing something, need to think about who will use it, and whether your design is intuitive enough to use.
After being introduced to the concept every time I'm at the U of R I always seem to be looking at the doors
LOL I remember the first time I looked at this document
i think automatically
doesn't matter to me
Both works
yes

OK. Stay here. I will close the rooms.
not everyone we are
in room 1
Anyone?
We can't hear you prof
yes
Yep we had a good discussion.
Yep
yes
A classmate put it pretty succinctly by saying that this schedule has issues with consistency, visual representation, and order. It's not very accessible or easy to read.
I personally think that it would make more sense to break the academic schedules up by term and have the relevant "important dates" listed at the bottom, with all dates where classes aren't being held grouped together.
They have made some improvements for 2025-2026 schedule if you take a look. The other dates are separated there.
One possible way we discussed is to re-design as a timeline based on months
When I look at the schedule I'm usually looking for a specific term, not all of them.
Reacted to "When I look at the s..." with 👍
I see what they're trying to do here, because often just looking at a calendar you're looking at the date first, where in this case you're looking for when a date might fall. But overall the information is presented poorly.
I think the calendar would be worse, I usually use this table to find the dates for specific things, so the calendar would require a lot of searching since I don't know what date I am looking for in the first place
Reacted to "I think the calendar..." with ☝️
Reacted to "I think the calendar…" with ☝️

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

I learned about Norman Door concept, which is a door that was not designed very well, so that people are constantly making a mistake about which way it opens.
Design is rewarding and fun.
I learned the concept called “norman doors” and I encountered many of these doors before in my life and was also at fault sometimes for pushing a door instead of pulling.
The importance of designing an object such as a door to be intuitive
problem with Academic Schedule
Discussed whether to extend deadline for response quizzzes or not
Se;ective Attention
I learned how something simple as door can be designed so poorly. It was interesting to think how much study it take for everyday design
I actually found the video regarding doors quite insightful. The video talks about doors and something as simple as doors doesn't get thought about often but doors is something we encounter everyday. A well designed door is quite important and interesting.
The readability of certain calendars and data
Important concept or perspective we encountered today was the principle of human-centered design. This approach emphasizes understanding the needs and behaviors of users and designing solutions that meet those needs effectively. Like the usage of push or pull door can be confusing if it not use consistently across the country
I encountered in todays class was the concept of norman doors and how poorly it was designed which showed me the importance of intuitive design in everday objects.
Perception and sensation . Also how door at fox building 10 floor had issue of opening weirdly. Causing issue with people not knowing whether to push or pull. Also how we sense and percieve information provided and make decision after considering it
the inherentent bad design of doors
How doors have been improved throughout the years
the important concept that I encounter today was the video discussing about Norman doors and user centered design also discussed about importance of designing objects
Although I personally noticed the gorilla in the video, I showed some of my friends, and even some classmates that said they completely missed it. I was surprised to see that this was possible.
Potential better designs for the school calender
talked about bad doors by norman and design concept of academic schedule of UofR
The idea of poorly designed doors has been a thing for longer than we would think, and that is mostly because they are functional and are not required for safety reasons, so there have been few door redesigns. Despite this, there are still some doors that are really hard to use.
We were separated into breakout rooms to discuss the design of the academic schedule document. Upon the first look at the document, it appears to be somewhat unreadable and unorganized as you search for different dates. We talked about different design improvements, which included categorizing the dates in months or terms to make it easier to read and navigate.
ui and ux design is important for user interaction
Today we discussed in detail what makes poor design, and how that can guide us into making better design. By using the U of R academic schedule as a case study, we are able to conceptualize what can make a document inaccessible or poor at realizing its purpose.
fire door
The Gestalt Principles
That feedback is one of the most crucial parts of design but it is the hardest to gain
I found that the concept of the "door" in the video was very interesting. Also, I liked the discussion about the UofR academic schedule. That gave me so many good points about how to create a great design for users.
I learnt about norman mirror and calender designing.
The videos about the bad door design and the selective attention test were really interesting to watch. I’d seen them before, but in the context of this class, they were really interesting to see different ways of thinking about designs.
Attention to detail about push and pull doors
Today in the class we watched Norman door video and through that video I learned how can a design in door cause a problem. What happens if the visual and written instructions don't match. As discussed in the video a door got a pull bar but to open the door they have to push.
Today, I learned about Norman Doors design, which teaches the importance of user-friendly design in everyday things like doors. It's all about making handles, signs, and interfaces intuitive to enhance usability and prevent frustration.
The concept i encounter today from the video of door was attention to detail as the instruction on door was not matching to its function. Also it was good discussion about academic schedule and its visuals.
Designing is among the more difficult undertakings. And the clearest explanation of the designing process was provided by Don Norman in plain language. It follows that, in the process of designing, we should consider the user and if the design is user-friendly enough. We had a fruitful conversation on the academic calendar. It ought to be divided into one semester each page, in my opinion.
Obvious design, designing doors so its obvious if its push or pull
We talked about the user readability and how impactful it is in designing concepts. We also talked about the academic calendar and the flaws it has.
I learned that the design of doors is much more complex than I would have even though!
Lettermens video about velcro
We watched, as a class, a video discussing the concept of "Norman Doors" which I really liked and thought that it was very entertaining and informative. We also participated in a class activity and discussed the design flaws of the University's 2023-2024 academic calendar which I thought helped me personally in spotting some of the design flaws like date format inconsistencies and use of small text size which makes it difficult for some users to interpret the data from the schedule.
norman door, how if many people encounter the same issue, its likely not just user error
Looking at commonly used items, like the semester schedule or doors, and realizing even these simple things require design strategies to be useful to humans
Norman doors - Video
That even products/ objects that are used in our everyday lives are probably not design to be optimal. The door was a great example to something that has been around forever but does not have a single uniform design.
Discoverability and feedback form the basis of how designers and engineers work today.
Don Norman's concise explanation highlights how important it is to put user-friendliness first. We talked about organizing the academic calendar 2023-2024 and the possible changes that make it more readable and for more readability, we can separate the important holidays section in to a separate page or segregate it from the rest of the calendar.
How different objects were designed and created
The important concept that I understood about today's lecture is the Norman door, where we do the opposite of what is required in terms of designing and that it is rewarding and enjoyable.
Principles of Human-centered design, Example of door and academic calander
Norman Doors and we had a group discussionon design of 2023-2024 Academic Schedule.
we had a group discussion about the schedule calendar and we comes up with some idea how we can better this one like clustering the portion and adding different color in important parts also about the font.
Door Design
Norman doors and the possibilities for new ways to design the academic calendar for UofR
We watched a video of the concept of the Norman door, which is a confusing door that requires a sign of how to use it. Moreover, we encountered a couple of principles in the video: Discoverability and Feedback. Lastly, we discussed possibly redesigning the U of R academic schedule.
What makes a design good or bad
what makes a design good or bad
The importance of discoverability: when designing a product, consider what actions are possible.
After the breakout room discussion about academic calendar, i came to realisation that many individuals encounter difficulties in fully understanding it contents. It often fails to clearly demonstrate its own purpose and struggle to effectively deliver its message to users at first glance. This highlights the critical importance of implementing a user-friendly design. However, achieving a truly effective design is no easy feat.
Designing things
Learnt about Norman doors and the concept of clear design decisions that don't require instructions
The Norman doors concept has got me looking almost at everything I come across out in the world, looking at the different affordances and signifiers people use and what they could do better on.

Was there anything today that was difficult to understand?

Not really.
Everything was well laid out.
Nothing today was difficult to answer.
All was explained rather well
no
no
No
Nothing
Nope
No. everything was good
The difficult part I found today was that like the object which are used everyday such as doors why did it end up to be undesigned.
No
