Suggest at least two good examples and two bad examples of source document design.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. It might be interesting to ask students what criteria they think are important in determining whether an interface is “good” or “bad.” Another approach might be to have the instructor choose a site and have students rate the design, using the criteria explained in this chapter. The important thing is to share individual viewpoints and reasons. One student might see an attribute or design element that another student might ignore. If the entire class analyzes a specific software package, most design strengths and weaknesses will come to light. It might be especially interesting to review documents that are familiar to the entire class, such as registration documents at the school.
