Topics

In general, the exam will cover material in Norman's book, Chapters 1-6 and 11 in the textbook, and all supplemental readings provided via the syllabus on the topic of evaluation techniques. All material covered during lectures is likely exam material, including information retrieved and displayed from the Web during class.

For the curious ones, here is the pre-course examination you took at the beginning of the course. It is in Rich Text Format, which you should be able to read into MS Word and a number of other word processors. Hopefully, you will be encouraged by what you now know!

Also, you might want to review the lecture from October 29th, when we discussed issues with the exam.

You may also want to look at the midterm review from Fall 1997. The biggest difference between then and now is that we are adding Chapter 6 on user modelling to the list.

Remember, we fight together in a battle against ignorance.
