** Graded by subtraction

** We're looking for critical thinking, effort, 
   and an attempt to look at things from an HCI
   (user-centered, cognitive, technical) point of view.

** Note that it asks for "structured" writing. 
   We're looking for a clear, precise, professional analysis.

** Everything requested should be provided.

** PART 1 - already done in class, with help from instructor,
              so this one should be easy. 
          - explain why, why, and why?
          - address 'audience', 'purpose', 'objectives', and 'domain'.
          - address syntax and semantics.
          - make it clear what the Requirements were.

** PART 2 - precise, clear, and brief.
          - answer all 7 questions.

** PART 3 - precise, clear, and brief, with reasons.
          - answer all 7 questions.
          - it must be clear that you've spent time 
              investigating and evaluating this interface. 
          - use simple search and advanced search 
              examples as part of answer. 

** PART 4 - 1. Key information: summary of arguments and facts.
          - 2. distinguish strengths, weaknesses and utility.
               - all precise, HCI-related and not overly general.
          - 3. describe application
               why is it important?
               how might it improve what's currently available?
