Lo-Fi Prototype Assignment 
User Testing Script 
Introduction
Thank you for participating in our study today. We are graduate students trying to understand how UI design patterns might be a helpful resource. We would like your honest feedback throughout this interview, so please say anything that comes to mind. 

There are three parts to today’s interview. In the first part, we will describe a brief scenario and ask you to look at some paper prototypes to complete a couple of tasks. We are testing a paper prototype because we are trying to get a rough idea of what works and what doesn’t. When looking at the paper prototype, tell us what works and what doesn’t as we go along. In the second part, we’ll talk a bit more about your own experience with designing interfaces. In the third part, we have a short survey for you to fill out. Do you have any questions?

Part 1: Scenario
Your next project on campus is to redesign the navigation on this campus site {show print out}. The navigation is a problem because it is not organized in a way that is easy to understand, specifically there is no hierarchy. It has 7 main top-level navigational categories and 5 sub-level categories.  Additionally, other content areas are not represented in the navigation schema.  You will look at our pattern library to find a navigation pattern to help solve this problem. Please use our UI design pattern library to assist you in this effort. 
{show paper prototype – explain they need to point to what they want to click on}

Tasks: 
1.	Find a navigation pattern that would help clarify the existing navigation.
[Now show the wire frame]
[No hints about how to do it] 
2.	 [Within each pattern] There are user comments on this page. Where are they located?
3.	[Within each pattern] How would you add a comment to this pattern?
4.	Where would you find some sample code for this pattern?
5.	Go to another navigation pattern that might also be a solution. 
6.	How would you get back to the home page? 

Part 2: Exploring the Design Problem
Are these patterns applicable to other design problems? Think about some ideas to solve your various design problems. [Free association]
