So Happy Friday everyone feel like Friday today
it's a little cooler today I noticed this time of day Okay,
so we're gonna see whether this extensive we tested the server
testing test how's that so made a difference a little bit I can
even hear okay. Is not working no input okay so this is based
on our discussion last sales you have something to share so,
based on our discussion last day with adding a midterm exam
so I had So, as the midterm and of course 8% as I
do so that means we have six So, let's create first of all is
9100. And then there's also a bonus of 2% for research credit.
Has anyone heard about the participant pool idea before?
They've been psychology and
computer science so the idea is if there's an opportunity for my
district that down the track it's all on your courses where
it's more legible so responses to meetings 6% in dimensional
assignments 20% project has been 40% exams 28% So they present
for the midterm 20% For the final participation 6% bonus. So
it's not certain whether there will be opportunities to earn a
bonus mark on the research credit during the semester.
There is I'll post them and let you know about posting post them
here at the bottom. So for every if he participated in a study,
you'll get one mark that you can apply to whichever class
accepts. So you can in one class you can get up to to these bonus
marks. So there's software user study going on for example,
that's credit so so 1% isn't a lot, but it's enough to say
thank you. So it's not enough to say I'm going to do that. versus
sort of an ethical aspect of collecting data that we'll talk
about later on in the semester as well. But it's enough to say
thank you. It's a token of appreciation, but it's not so
much to say for you to decide, well, I don't really want to do
this, but I can't afford to miss this opportunity for Mark. So I
said research credit was gonna give you an extra 50% of the
mark. You might not. You might not feel that way. So free and
informed consent is an important part of what it has to do with
collecting data. So we don't want to collect good data. We
want to make sure that we're not putting added pressure on the
person who is giving us the latest they might just tell us
what we want. What they think they want, what they think we
want to hear Okay, so that's the reason behind the research
credit. So just seem okay. We didn't have to stop official
syllabus you have seen Okay, I need this in the issues. Yeah.
How many assignments? Okay, so there's Do you like the pictures
I sent or posted last time of me and my
to do it my do it. Myself microphone. I think I put them
online. So So for individual assignments there will be rest
20%. To assignments and how's my writing at the back of the room
could be bigger or
helps you focus by concentrating on my I'll try and make it
bigger so one of these will be. So divide the project into four
pieces so you're welcome to especially for for 28 students
to make your own groups.
And I won't say no if you want to work if you want to have a
group that's mixing for 28 and a 28 students
so if you're an 828 and you have some of your research, relates
can relate or you can include user interface design and
evaluation in your research. You might want to do that
individually
Does that make sense? So you can talk to me about that if you
like? Okay, does that make sense? Does that answer your
question? So, Monday we'll have the details and assignments
posted for you okay. Okay, so let me do attendance. Okay.
Always has been down onboarding. Usually these names on it.
Yeah, okay. I remember getting some email about that. Right.
Okay. I was fixing some things and i i fixed some things and I
broke some other things. So I fixed the display here so that
meetings are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, so we didn't have a
meeting this last Monday. We don't have the meeting coming
Monday because that's Labor Day. We don't have a meeting on this
Friday because that's Truth and Reconciliation day. And then
here's Thanksgiving. The meeting is. Okay, so the thing I was
going to print out were these 10 cards, which I used to do when
we had in person meetings before so I thought I would try them
again because we're all here together. So I'm gonna get those
working for a minute. It's a way for you to write down your name
and put it on the desk. So that I can know how to call you in
class. So I can call in you. Sort of Alaskey if you write
down the name you'd like me to call you. It's whatever that
might be. And then I also suggested that we're going to
have a lot rupestre classwork discussions
so I wonder whether we can maybe do crease in each row across Can
we can we pick a table or? Anywhere else see how it works.
But if we have eight people in a group that's maybe a bid size up
to eight people.
So don't always have don't have to end up with the same spot so
everyone comes on here and all the people are in one side of
the room so you can mix it up. A little bit. See what works for
you. So it'll ask you to maybe report to me in an email or
something, people who are in your group and we'll keep those
for just semester going forward. Okay, so that makes sense. So,
in the same row that you're in get together with the people in
your row for some discussion. Okay, and then somebody sent me
the names of people who are in the group in your row and I'll
set them up as groups going forward for it good class
activities. Okay, so please go ahead and do that thank you it a
look right was able to do this there's no way
I can say just like going Did you want us to stay as a group
registrate the name to status. So, got a couple questions we
just want to basically send these to you. week it was very
hard on myself but you know I knew what it was like there's no
other reason. Interested in you can see this little boy or girl
your client I can't see it in the course of the show. order
for him to truly start thing over again for
your seats only, so.
Okay, so as I watched all of you were discussing and that's been
very good. I realized that maybe it's easier for getting together
for discussions and groups can be groups of eight people. So I
know when I'm messed up, what people have already done for the
lists that may be a feature you can adjust your seating and so
based on what what I get through, people see some people
give me some handwritten notes and some people send me emails.
I'll set them up. I'll make sure everybody's in a group that's
about the same size and then even your hands to facilitate
that in the future, okay.
Okay, so I have two questions for you to discuss. So we can
have a discussion for five to 10 minutes
so, two questions are what makes an interface good or bad? What
do you see are those important characteristics? And then what
are some examples of good and bad interfaces? So this website
is the best interface ever or this interface this website is
the worst interface ever. I don't have to be your best or
worst ever. Examples but if you have if you have some a he has
some things that are frustrating very satisfying to us. Let me
know. discuss those things as well. Okay, so can we get
together and have discussions so?
To be here out. Your time to get up could just be Oh yes yes what
is your next session I already have that face to face oh yeah
are many years later on as marketers used to be able to
call it whatever it is say okay yeah, yeah, it seems like I can
make this demo I go over my four bills that's what I expected
that's all jumping up at your house at this moment where are
you going? To take that there is no better way refer on strong.
People I would like you, oh, I didn't get backed up on privacy
because sometimes especially when I was in the G O th Oh
yeah. If I can add to that. What was the last few years so many
of you we're going to find out how to get them Oh, what do you
guys think about need to charge me even my seminars pretty much.
Yeah, video. I would like you to see exactly where
there's one of them that goes back to direct versus being
positive in the same time, it was by us being
there I don't say I'm selling in fact. I guess I know that. No,
one that people say it's not good. It's either.
I give you like false information or direction but it
shows you where
to go that that was that was that was like really good for
the class, everyone. I have your attention please. Let everyone
know. Microphones still working. But anyway, so before we ended
up class today, no five minutes left. So any thoughts about what
makes an interface good or bad and what are some examples of
the design without first? Accessibility
the liability really easy to use,
okay. Response okay okay okay, other groups, other discussions
all of everything available
easy to navigate courses so I put down comprehensible for the
comment about Armageddon getting mistaken or you doing the wrong
thing Okay any examples of good or bad interfaces? Yeah so we
have no matter what I was gonna do okay some other ones Yeah.
That are self service. We will take about
example. Other maps
yeah
sorry question and I think I have this and yeah, there's in
the back. Yeah. Do but, again, whichever one you'd like, okay.
I can mentions rats and life as a horse. So the horse boasting
UX and UI
so that's the bus schedule for
that horrible vacation. Everything is so good. Okay,
discords pretty good. too.
Yeah. Okay. So what I like to do is if you can add some of your
discussion onto the wiki for today. And so one person however
you gonna do? So how many people are familiar with the way kids
classes so it's a weird kind of HTML waking syntax. So
you know, based upon your dreams,
okay, so we're out of time for today. So I want to say thank
you very much for today and for your participation, your buying
with the assignment, shuffling. So if you have a chance, please
have a look at chapter one in the book. And we'll start from
there on Monday. Thank you again, have a great
day Yeah, I think so. Yeah you could make up a story
versus gonna make one yes. All right. So it's not really it's a
class but I was wondering because what you think about
that need to tell you how to like You're like I bought like a
okay isn't
there but it's an old one. Okay. Doesn't have to. Okay, I think
I'll get back. Yeah, I like five megabytes which is solid state
Yeah, I just worried that it wouldn't be able to buy doing
pretty good.
Yeah, you have Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think it was pretty
well. We took him so I have a pic of 2006 This is like I
probably start up there like a year ago. Okay, so there are too
many things. To keep thinking of losing balance sometimes. Yeah.
Awesome. Thank you so much, anyway, yeah, yeah, I don't know
why.
I would recommend that. Okay, awesome. Thank you. Yeah.
I'm gonna take pictures too. So I'll post them on our Web today.
Class last week's class. I don't go to a course and teacher
person. Doesn't want to do it today. Yeah, I do it today. But
less. Yeah. So I'll
go Yeah, it's gonna give me a stressful thing. Where do you
want us to
we just did just email. us your email.
Vicky's that response we do? Know it's yeah. Actually. I
can't find this and
Excuse me. Can you it is possible to make 2428 and 848
students together or it should be a separate. It can be
together it can be to
represent a highlight of Halloween coming up. This year?
Yeah. My wife and I were just I'm so tempted to
think I'm gonna lose my federal probation. And me a good Yeah, I
was awful.
Not to mention yours for misconduct.
I have used the textbook me before you say
I don't like it he wasn't ready for doctors. Just pagers,
pagers. Basically Come on. No, no, never been to Sydney, all
the other students I got elected to that did not mean that
something is yeah, we do not. Know I actually I actually were
the worst response
I think I put it in there on LinkedIn. I put it under the
participation. So this is different than the response we
do every meeting, right? Yeah. And then did we have to do that
for the first meeting? as well? Because we all have to this is
strong. You can you can do it for every meeting. Okay. And if
you do it for most of them and you fall in structure, they will
get six marks towards your final or by I couldn't do the first
one I've just forgot. So it's all right. So you can do it for
this one, right? Yeah. If you do 30 or more then you'll get full
marks. Okay. Sounds good. That's all good. Thanks.
A grenade student. I'm not a big so student. So can I do my
project individually?
I would prefer not. Okay. So do you know people? Oh, yeah. So
see how it goes. I would prefer to be free to be a group project
if it's not something you're doing for research. Okay.
And is there any limit on the group number?
Ideally, for let's say, if we have to make some adjustments on
that we can
do we need to do coding in that basis. Like for the 800 levels?
I'm the same one like I'm not research student and the course
for the 800 level. So just wanted to ask about the project.
So the project is more about design. So you need to implement
that, right? You don't have it's not about implementing, it's
about creating a mock up. So it's not strictly coding an
interface but it's making it look like okay, you have a
functioning interface. So there are different tools and you can
write make a web might do with using web stuff. We'll talk
about some more detail or the semester but it's not strictly
reading, reading in your face from scratch, it's just about
making it look it's creating the illusion of of the interface
that you're presenting. Okay, thanks. Thank you.
So for the classes question I just posted here
Yeah, sure. And also I have
a question about so the response to meetings. It's like a general
market. It's not per
one. Oh, he get marks. So I described. If you follow the
instructions so you're reading about today's meeting and you're
following instructions like picking one of those three types
and you submit it so you'll get two marks if it's if it's all
good. One mark, Have you submitted but it's not clearly
following instructions. Like it's not as he's described what
we did in class instead of what your reaction to it is. Or you
know, saying what we learned what we discussed. So say well,
we covered this well, you know that that's not what I'm asking
you to include. I want you to reflect a little bit. So anyway,
if you if you write something but it doesn't follow
instructions, you get one mark and if you don't consume
anything, you get zero marks. So over the semester, we'll collect
those and then that'll turn into here. So I will make it I won't
require everyone to have 36 or 35 of them to get a full mark
but maybe 30 I guess now that I've said 30 I'm gonna have to
stick with that. So you have a little bit of wiggle room. Thank
you. Make sense.
So the one chord per day it's set for 2021 that dates for I
thought I fixed. I did.
Okay, so maybe I checked it earlier. Yeah. You will like us.
To read chapter 1234. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that's a thank you
so much. You're welcome. Hello. Actually, I have a question
about the, what we can interface good or bad. She talks about,
for example, the design patterns or something like that, or
you're just one abstract because I can't say for example, how how
much we should deep into to this comparative to this comparison.
That's my question. Because when we want to compare something
good and that should be talking about the design patterns or
like something like I don't want to say no to that. But I just,
I'm just trying to engage some discussion. Okay. So so so
there's no wrong answer. If you want to talk about patterns,
like the Swiss Army Knife pattern or whatever, whatever it
is.
Yeah, okay. So yeah, yeah. Because I want to know what your
expectation and how how should compare compare for example,
because you know, interface some teams subjective evaluation is
subjective and I want to know that, okay, how how, how we
should go for this. Yeah. So okay.
So I would say, it's not always subjective. I mean, there there
are some issues about preference involved, but I think there are
also some very empirically verified choice choices that are
good and that are bad. So it's not it's not all subjective.
Okay. We can absolutely we can define some. We can define some,
maybe scores to make it quantify. But you know, the
interface for example, when we look at at first shot, we say,
okay, that's so beautiful. When we have an expectation Yeah,
that's good. Or that's bad. Yeah, that's I'm talking about
Okay. That's why I'm asking for how you should follow.
Okay, so your comments are things we'll discuss or this
semester, okay. So we'll get into those things. Okay, so
we're starting out we'll keep those thoughts in mind, and
we'll engage them more deeply over the semester. Thank you.
Yeah. Thank you very well. Have a good day. Thanks. Take care.
Thanks.
Thanks.
