CPSC 436 - 500: Computer-Human Interaction

Course Homepage

Assignment 1: Due 9/16/2014

1. Write no more than two pages about the best system/computer interface you have used.
Describe the interface and why you selected it as best. Is it good for a variety of users and tasks or just for you? How might you improve on its design?

2. Write no more than two pages about the worst system/computer interface you have used.
Describe the interface and why it is bad. How could it be improved? Why might the designers have developed it the way they did?

Important: All reports are to be printed on a word processor or typed (no handwritten assignments will be accepted). It is expected that students will correct grammar and spelling--these are grounds to deduct from your grade. (i.e. Use a spelling checker and reread what you write before turning it in.)
