3. What psychological principles explain why the technology performs well or not well? Here, you should cite principles from the Cognition chapter and/or Stress and performance chapter.
4. What recommendations would you make to improve the technology? Here you should draw on principles from the Human Computer Interaction chapter as well as any others that are relevant.

· The Work System Method: Connecting People, processes, and IT for Business Results, Steven Alter, [ISBN 0-9778497-0-8]
Instructions:
For the final exam, I want you to focus specifically on the Technology component of the course and any work systems you interact with at work (it does not need to be the one you did your case analysis over).
Consider the concept of usability testing raised in chapter 2.
Identify one piece of technology that you interact with at work and perform a usability analysis. It could be a website, a database, a software program, or a more immersive human-machine interface.
The final paper should be 4-5 pages in length, double-spaced, with internal citations of the Guastello text and page numbers. There is no need to include a reference list or cover page.
