Human Action Cycle

Homework Use the Human-Action Cycle (HAC) below and from the notes, to critique each of the following interaction styles. You will be critiquing these in general, not just providing an example. The main idea is critique in general, for example, how well does the command line allow you to do 1-7 below. You can provide/use an (motivating) example of each to help your general critique. Think critically and challenge yourself!

1. Command line 2. Menu selection 3. Form-fill 4. Direct Manipulation 5. Anthropomorphic

Remember to use the following format/list of the HAC to critique (how well each of)) the above styles:

1. Form a goal (that is, an example of how you would use the style. For example, for command, line a goal could be adding/creating a directory.)

2. Translating the goal into a task(s) 3. Planning an action sequence 4. Executing the action sequence 5. Perceiving what happened

6. Interpreting what happened 7. Comparing what happened with what was wanted.
