1. What is usability? Can your definition be generalized to other/non-software systems? In addition, discuss the similarities and differences between this generalized usability concept and the concept of universal usabilty.
2. Can usability be quantified by a single number or a single numerical metric? If yes, which specific metric? If not, what are the different metrics? In addition, is usability uniquely determined by the "internal" characteristics of a product or system, such as its design and implementation details? If so, what determines usability? If not, what other factors also affects usability?
3. 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 it as a user, and perform the following:
   • Describe the user population and their interaction with or usage of the system.
   • Classify the interaction style(s) of its user interface.
   • Analyze its usability by consulting the 8 golden rules of interface design.
   • How would you measure its usability? Give some concrete examples.
     (Make up some numbers, if it helps).
