_____
Purpose: We are trying to compare a few different ways of having people
answer questions while reading scientific articles.
Time: The study will take up to 1 hour.
Place: Meet in the entrance Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL), on the
2nd floor of the Hornbake Library, in the classroom wing. Hornbake is on
Campus Dr, just down the hill from Stamp Union, on the same side of the
street. Go in the side door, take the elevator up to the 2nd floor, and
walk forward. You will see the HCIL immediately. If the door is locked,
please knock.
What you'll be asked to do: We'll ask you to read a few short articles from
the biology section of Scientific American. The articles will be read using
a web browser. There will be questions for you to answer in the text and
after the text.
Requirements: In order to participate, you need to be at least 18 years old
and you need to have normal reading vision. Glasses or contact lenses are
fine. You must be a native speaker of English, or have comparable reading
speed for reading magazine articles about science.
Contact: Alex Quinn, (aq@cs).
Payment: You will receive $10 (cash) for participating.
Who? This user study is being done by Alex Quinn, a UMD graduate student in
computer science, under the direction of Professors Francois Guimbretiere
and Mihai Pop.
