CS 6751 Lecture Slides

(click here to return to the CS 6751 homepage)

The slides presented in the lecture are usually a subset of the slides that can be found in this list. Occassionally, single slides may be missing here.


1. Lecture 2 and 3: "The Human"

2. Lecture 3 and 4: "The Computer"

3. Lecture 4 and 5: "The Interaction"

4. Lecture 6: "The design process"

5. Lecture 7 and 9: "Usability evaluation"

6. Lecture 8 and 9: "Task analysis"

7. Lecture 10: "Usability paradigms"

8. Lecture 11 and 12: "Cognitive Modeling"

9. Lecture 11: "GOMS Example of Class 11"

10. Lecture 12: "Dialogue Modeling"

11. Lecture 13: "Tools"

11. Lecture 14: "Multimodality"


Here are versions that are condensed to fit 8 per page, more suitable for printing. The CoC computer systems use the program ghostview to display these files. Note that they display as separate tiny sheets in ghostview, but will print 8 per page if you use the ghostview print option. Ghostview will ask you which printer you want to print to. If you are using a CoC machine you might consider using the printer calvin which is the printer outside west door of the GVU lab.

1. Lecture 2 and 3: "The Human"

2. Lecture 3 and 4: "The Computer"

3. Lecture 4 and 5: "The Interaction"

4. Lecture 6: "The design process" (this doesn't seem to print properly, try full size)

5. Lecture 7: "Usability evaluation"


Additional notes:

These files are in Postscript format and cannot be displayed directly in viewers like Mosaic. A different program on the system you are using must be used, i.e., ghostview. Apart from being in Postscript, the files are also compressed to conserve server space. If the files are downloaded directly, the UNIX utility uncompress or equivalent must be used to restore the files to normal. You can identify a compressed file by its .Z suffix. The compression algorithm used is adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding.

The UNIX command I used to fit 8 pages on a single page is psnup. You might find this useful for saving paper. Here is an example of how to use psnup:

psnup -p8 slides.ps | lpr -Pcalvin
where 8 is the number of pages to fit to a single page (you can use 2, 4, 8, or 16), slides.ps is the name of the (uncompressed) Postscript file, and calvin is the name of the printer. The | symbol is a vertical bar. This command does not alter the original file.
