如何設計好用的程式

有一篇論文CHI 2006 Workshop on Mobile Social Software的論文

http://chi2006mososo.telin.nl/docs/papers/Burns_CHI2006MoSoSo.pdf

提到一個簡單的方法，不必用電腦，用長條書寫紙就可以
利用使用者情境來設計手機載具的操作介面，並且即時得到使用者的初步反應。
提供出來給目前我們小組裡的設計團隊參考。
我發現不少同學設計軟體喜歡從看程式設計的課本開始，但是這些課本多數忽略使用者介面的設計，比較專注在內部程式開發，好像介面設計是很容易的，不需學
習。這篇paper 提倡從方法論開始去設計親和力高的手機軟體。

4-14 停課一次

因為多位同學需要補上班，所以4-14 停課一次。
所有簡報順延一週。

明日老師改為個別時間，開放給同學做一對一晤談，討論上課內容或其他研究。
為避免等待時間，請事先在以下comment登記，以半小時為一單位，booking我的時間。先登記先服務。

13:00-13:30 (booked)
13:30-14:00 (booked)
14:00-14:30

談如何做研究

決定自己想做什麼，就可以少被派一些自己不喜歡的工作

，所以主動會變成一種享受與習慣。做研究也是一樣。

一個研究者需要學習並多接觸研究的典範，相關領域的研究別人是如何做的，論文是如何寫的，藉此拓展研究的視野，並且真正進入一個研究領域。

有好的點子很重要，那是研究的動力源頭。然而一個科學研究還需重視科學方法，如何使用嚴謹的文字與數學工具去描述想法與實驗。這無法短時間內完成，但是必須及早開始，而且逐漸養成一個習慣，才不會論文寫起來像散文，報告像msn聊天。

這是一個態度問題，無關能力。我常舉的一個例子，A君是研究所考試後補最後一名進來，可是我發覺他很有心做好研究，也非常努力學習，常常與我討論研究到深夜欲罷不能，也具備研究人的謹慎與謙虛，所以研究做得比別人傑出。

很多學生未來不會選擇研究作為生涯，但是研究的精神卻是一種個人資產，有些同學忽略這點，以為只要未來不做研究，現在也不用學習當一個會做研究的研究生，白白浪費兩年的青春時光。看到我們實驗室一直沒有這種問題，而且頗有研究的風氣，實在欣慰多了。

當然，最會應用科技的非營利組織不見得是最公益的組織，但是我想一個卓越的nonprofit 會有興趣引入科技，協助他們完成使命與邁向遠景。
