• Part 1. Discussion/short answer questions:
  • 1a. What is usability? Can it be quantified? If so, what quantitative metrics can be used? If not, what other metrics can be used?
    (For graduate students, you are expected to list some concrete metrics by consulting some additional reference(s) beyond our main textbook DTUI, and cite it in your answer.)
  • 1b. What is universal usability (UU)? What is its relationship to usability, UI, UX, and HCI?

• Part 2. UI design/evaluation
  Select a software, an application, a Web site, an online service, a smart device, a game, or anything with computer/software embedded in it, that you may interact with as a user, and perform the following:
  • 2a. Analyze its usability by consulting the 8 golden rules of interface design and describe your activities and findings.
  • 2b. How would you measure its usability? Give some examples using at least two usability metrics.
    (Make up some numbers, if it helps).
