Tuesday September 3 - teams

Most of the Babson students join us today, even though their semester begins tomorrow and are just moving in.
User Experience in the wild: the good, the bad, and the ugly
- Listen to Airbnb - how I built this podcast - minute 30.
- take a few moments to think about software-mediated experiences around you.
- Share situations where you feel like the design of the system you interacted with:
  - gave you a positive experience
  - gave you a negative experience
- Reflect upon domains where UX is usually pleasant or painful (e.g., banking, government services etc)
Meet your team [Amon will reveal team allocations and seating assignments].

Activity: Before starting group work... form a team contract
- What does each member of your team bring to this class? What do each of you wish to take away? Talk about your learning objectives and your expectations with regard to how this class should fit into your semester. Also talk about help you'd like from one another, about traps you know you are prone to falling into, and about how you will make sure that you are working effectively as a team. This discussion can include preferred working styles and norms. Write a set of team commitments (as well as any individual commitments) and tape this to your team box.
Activity: Do not leave class until you have a told instructors the 75 - 120 minute time block(s) that your team commits to attending weekly for UX Design.
