Requirements
To provide some scaffolding on the timing of Assignment 1 I have broken it into multiple assignments. For the full assignment description please refer to the Unified Assignment Requirements page.
Deliverable
The general expectation of format for each stage of the assignment will be a written report submitted as a pdf, however several of the elements of the report will be tables or diagrams rather than paragraphs of text. The expectations for this portion of the assignment are:
Empirical CTA Participant Recruitment - Provide a description of the participant recruitment strategy along with the backgrounds of the individual participants. (~1 paragraph)
Empirical CTA Participant Strategy (x2) - For each participant create a table from your notes on their problem solving. This does not need to be an annotated transcript. You can use the following format: (2 tables, 1 per participant)
Problem | What was their answer? | What was the strategy they used? | What difficulties did they have? | Additional Notes |
Problem 1 | ||||
Problem 2 | ||||
... |
Empirical CTA Individual Diagrams (x2) - For each participant, provide a flow chart or concept map of the strategy used by each participant that thoroughly covers the problem solving task as the participants did it. There should be one chart describing a general strategy for each participant rather than one for each problem in the problem set. (2 charts).
Empirical CTA Unified Diagram - Provide a unified diagram that integrates the strategies from each of the individual CTAs into a general novice strategy. There should be one chart describing a general strategy across the novices rather than one for each problem in the problem set. (1 chart).
Empirical CTA Synthesis - Provide a written synthesis of the unified empirical CTA that describes the overall problem solving strategy novices use, digests the contents of the flow chart, and provides a summary of the common difficulties they faced. (~2-3 paragraphs).
Reflection and Discussion - Provide a discussion of the differences between the predictions made in theoretical task analysis and the results of the empirical task analysis is provided. Additionally, discuss the implications for designing a game for this domain. (~3-5 paragraphs).
