Have an HCI meeting Tue 2 July (this Tue) on the topic of Learning & Improving Semi-Structured Interview Techniques
by Joseph Jay Williams 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

Hi everyone, I spoke to Jiannin, and let's have have an HCI meeting Tue 2 July (this Tue) on the topic of Learning & Improving Semi-Structured Interview Techniques. (I'll be away the following week so I asked to go earlier). I have several new grad students joining who are excited to learn about this topic and discuss with other people who are doing it. And many of you said this could be quite useful, even if you're experienced there's always ways to keep improving and iterating on techniques for interviewing. *If you have previous experience with interviews, we want your resources here (readings, guides, very good transcripts or videos, etc.): * <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zu5csTWoZUJ7txCbLO1PsLiyjOFrs2KsqYAnHkz…> tiny.cc/dinterview - Resources for doing HCI Interviewing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB…> *Also, please take a moment before the meeting to reflect on interviewing.* What's helpful to know? When you were learning interviewing, what was difficult at first? Do you have advice? What are important things to keep in mind when preparing as an interviewer? Etc. We'll be having smaller group discussions, with particular attention to capturing ideas and tips in the Google Doc. And to having people actually practice or demo ways they might interview. Please just dump a whole bunch of resources into that Google doc, don't worry too much about how relevant they are. We can cut and organize later. tiny.cc/dinterview - Resources for doing HCI Interviewing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB…> Joseph Joseph Jay Williams www.josephjaywilliams.com Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Intelligent Adaptive Interventions (IAI) research group

Unexpected peanuts in seminar room, already cleaned up (in a deep way), asking for suggestions for next steps.
by fyzhu＠dgp.toronto.edu 08 Jun '19

08 Jun '19

Dear all First, please allow me to convey my apologize for this unexpected case. Tonight we've invited our friends watching raptors vs warriors in the seminar room, and accidentally brought some snacks contain peanuts to the room. After we realized that, we ceased the snacks, sealed all the package contains peanuts and brought them outside the lab. Later we spent hours making a deep clean-up for the seminar room until now. We've cleaned up tables and chairs for multiple times, deeply checked the carpet and cleaned up everything looks like food debris on the ground, and opened the window to refresh the air. As a person also have allergies, I know this still may not be enough. So if you are allergic to peanuts, please try to avoid to get into the seminar room until the next Vacuums Clean Up time (typically Monday night, I think). If you are allergic to the peanuts, need something in the lab this weekends, I'm willing to help anything I could as I'll be in lab this weekends. If anyone has any suggestions to the next steps (like maybe we need to order the clean-up from school manually for the seminar room), please let me know and I'll try my best to reset our lab into a peanuts-free lab. Sorry again for this unexpected conditions. If you know anyone belongs to this lab but not signed to the mail list, please help to let them know this unexpected condition. Hope everyone has a great weekends. Sincerely Fengyuan Zhu
