Q4 | In a heuristic evaluation:
- a group of usability experts judges an interface with a detailedchecklist of guidelines.

Q5 | Thinking aloud testing:
- slows down the user byabout 17%
- cannot provideperformance data.

- all of the above
Q6 | Cognitive Walkthrough:
- is a summative evaluation method.
- is performed by a single evaluator, who walksthrough a typical task.
- focuses explicitly on learnability.
- not with action sequence
Q7 | In a co-discovery test:
- the user works togtherwith the facilitator
- two users explore aninterface together.
- nothing shows issue.
- a structured walkthroughdiscovers problems.
Q8 | What are the pros (advantages) when using questionnaires as opposed to interviews?
- easy to analyse andcompare.
- easy to repeat.
- can reach a wide subjectgroup.
- all of the above
Q9 | When conducting an investigation with human participants for research or commercial reasons, which provision(s) for consent must be made?
- approval of the research by a properly constituted ethics committee independent of theresearchers.
- participants informed they do not have to take part if they do not want to
- participants fully informed of their right to withdraw from the investigation without consequences to them
- all of the above.
Q10 | Rolf Molich’s Comparative Usability Evaluation (CUE) studies:
- show there is a large amount of overlap between findings fromdifferent teams.
- show that usability testing finds all known problems.
- show many teams found more problems than they chose to report.
- use the common industry format (cif) for usability reports.
Q11 | akes to explain an interface to a new user. T F 4. Which of the following are advantages of using platform conventions during interface design:
- users can run the same software on differentplatforms.
- users can load documents created by differentapplications
- users can transfer knowledge as they move betweenapplications.
- users can apply logical constraints betweenapplications
Q12 | Which statement best reflects interaction design?
- interaction design is a new discipline
- interaction design is multidisciplinary
- interaction design combines the disciplines of softwareengineering and psychology
- interaction design is an application of commonsense
Q13 | According to Quintanar (1982) how do users rate an interface/system that gives thempersonalised feedback?
- they rate it as morehonest
- they rate it as less honest
- they rate it as more likeable
- they rate it as less likeable.
Q14 | Which of the following options best represents the core values of user-centred design, as originally articulated by Gould & Lewis (1985)?
- focusing on users and their tasks in the designprocess
- measuring progress towards usability goalsthroughout development
- developing and testing in several cycles
- all of the above.
Q15 | Which of the following steps is NOT the process of defining the interaction Framework?
- defining form factor andinput methods
- defining images and maps
- defining functional and dataelements
- constructing key pathscenarios
Q16 | User personas that are not primary or secondary are personas.
- served
- supplemental
- customer
- negative
Q17 | Evaluation done during design to check that product continues to meet users'needs are known as evaluation
- summative
- formative
- relative
- qualitative
Q18 | What is the fundamental insight underlying the "cognitive walk through" method of evaluation?
- the idea that cognitive processes are the most important aspect of the user experience
- the idea that users can sometimes be left out of the evaluation
- the idea that users earn by exploring an interface
- the idea that experts need to work hand in hand with useers to develop an optimal user experience
Q19 | Which of the following is a design implication of our understanding of human attention?
- tactile feedback should make the same kinds of distinctions that a person would feel in the world
- avoid cluttering the interface with more information than is needed at the present moment for the user
- text should be legible and distinguishable from its background under different lighting conditions
- sounds should be audible and distinguishable in the user
Q20 | environments are environments that are user and context aware.
- non-attentive
- visual
- sensing
- attentive
Q21 | Which of the following is not a design principle that allow the user to maintain control?
- provide for flexible interaction
- allow user interaction to be interrupt-able and undo- able
- show technical internals from the casual user
- design for direct interaction with objects that appear on the screen
Q22 | is like the building name for a website.
- site id
- navigation
- section
- none of the given
Q23 | What is true for vertical protoyping?
- it is a particular kind of working prototype.
- it provides full interface features.
- . it is designed to show howmuch vertical scrolling is acceptable
- . it provides critical functionality.
Q24 | Regarding the knowledge required for precise behaviour:
- it can be distributed partly in the constraintsof the head.
- it can be distributed partly in the head & world.
- it can only be distributed using instructions
- it can only be distributed using labels.
Q25 | You are running a user test session and your participant wants to leave half way through the session. What do you do?
- ask them to stay until the end as planned, so you can collect yourdata.
- after ensuring they do not need medical help, let them leave, with your thanks.
- offer them an incentive payment to encourage them to finish the
- none of the above.
