Week 1.2

Today in class we split into groups for our next project. We then had to learn about each person in our group my learning random facts about them and having to recite them to the class from memory. My group members are Alyssa, Alannah, Britney, and Adriana. Together we will be working on a project letting people know how to play football. Since we are focusing on football one of the questions we asked was what our favorite football team is. Both myself and Alannah are Steelers fans while Alyssa, Adriana, and Britney are all Ravens fans. We are also required to watch a game for the project which will be easy since the superbowl is this weekend.

We also had to play our game online for a few minutes. It was nice to be able to see all the different plays and choices you make for each play. It also was extremely difficult and I lost, but was a lot of fun and gave me more information about the game that we had missed when just rambling off. 

Week 1.1

Today in class we went over syllabus and watched videos about user design. For homework, we had to do a reading on the difference between usability vs user experience. I thought the reading explained the differences and also similarities between the two very well. We will have discussion in class next time and go over questions from the reading as well.
