[44-48] Then, for the ergonomics type of class, that classroom experience is similar to the intro to human factors course with PowerPoints but it’s more words on it and bullet points that she talks about every bullet point. So, ergonomics is much more possible to take notes and also when you’re going to study for the exams you have help from the PowerPoints which you don’t have in the introduction to human factors class because sometimes it can just be a picture.
[53-55] In the intro to human factors course, we’re sitting in a lecture with no interaction with my peers. It’s more interaction in the ergonomics class because sometimes you really can-do exercises like measuring each other with different tools so then there’s interactions.
[60-67] The peer interactions in the ergonomics course involve using different tools to measure different body parts. It can also be like chair evaluation. So, you can walk around the whole campus to find different chairs and then you write about it. You have a checklist and everything like comfortable or whether you can adjust it, or you cannot adjust it and everything. Then you come back to class and then we’re presenting all the results. So, with the measurements we are saying yes, as you can see, I’m taller which means I also have larger feet. With the chair you could say the ones in the library where you sit for a long time those are more comfortable leather ones in comparison to chairs outside the classroom where you’re maybe not sitting for so long a time.
[72-74] Then we have a paper where we’re writing everything on just like the results of the person or a chair. At the end of the class, we just hand the paper in to her and as long as you complete it you always get 100% on that assignment.
