Please make certain you review and follow the rules for taking your exams or you will receive a zero.  This exam must be completed in one period, it cannot be closed and reopened.  Review the exam rules below: Respondus Lockdown Browser and a webcam are required for tests in this course.  Remote Proctoring:  Some classes may use live proctoring or an automatic video recording system for proctored testing.  If your instructor requires you to use this testing option, your location must meet instructor guidelines for privacy and security.  If the location you choose is a home or personal environment, you agree to allow your activity and surrounding workspace to be viewed and/or recorded by video and audio to ensure testing integrity.  If you do not agree to have your private testing environment viewed and/or recorded, please contact your instructor immediately so arrangements can be made for on-campus proctored testing. Students who live near the college are welcome to contact the course instructor and testing center to schedule each of their exams for the semester. If the student decides that they wish to take the exam at home the following are requirements: Computer with webcam, microphone, reliable Internet connection Before students start the exam, they have to show their driver’s license or other photo ID. Student will need to be in a room with a door that is shut. They are to use the camera to show the room (360 degrees) including the desk/table, under table and floor. Once the exam has started the student cannot get up from the location until the exam is No other person should be in the room or enter the room. Both the webcam and microphone is to be on at all time during the exam and the webcam should be pointed at the student. Items that can be used is a regular calculator, pencil and a sheet of paper. The paper must be shown prior to the start of the exam to ensure it is blank on both sides. Environment Requirements: A quiet, secure, fully lighted room for the examination. No other people in the room  Sit at a clean desk or clean table (not in a bed or sofa)  No talking out loud or communicating with others by any means (with the exception of contact with the faculty member in an emergency)  No leaving the room  Nothing except computer and external cameras on the desktop or tabletop – removal of all books, papers, notebooks, or other materials, unless specifically permitted in written guidelines for a particular examination.  Students are not allowed to use the following unless otherwise noted by instructor/exam giver: Excel; Word; PowerPoint; Calculator (online/computer or handheld devices); Textbooks (online/computer or hardcopy books); Notes (online/computer or hardcopy notes); Pen and Paper (for the purpose of taking notes during exam or calculations); Other websites. External cameras, when possible, should be placed on the lid of the laptop or where it will have a constant, uninterrupted view of the test taker  No writing visible on desk or on walls  No music playing  No other computers or other digital devices running in the exam room No headphones or ear buds allowed Webcam must be focused on the individual test taker Lighting must be good quality. Overhead is preferred. Failure to follow the Examination rules will RESULT in a zero for the Exam. Once you have read the above type I agree in the box below to begin:

Most cues are treated as if they are all equally valid. Which heuristic is this? 

Regarding timescales for various activities or actions, which of these activities has the shortest timescale? 

What is a design concern when it comes to automation and data entry (how users input data into the system)? 

Our goal as human factors engineers is to ensure the products and systems that we design work for our users. Which of the following is NOT consistent with the scientific base of human factors that we discussed? 

Which of the following is NOT true about human decision making? 

In human information processing, what happens in the sensation stage?

Regarding designing to aid perception, how can we maximize top-down processing for times when bottom-up pathways may be degraded? 

We know that associations in long-term memory can impact decay and ease of retrieval. What else impacts memory decay or ease of retrieval? 

We are designing an automated system to be used in an operating room; the system is going to pull data from several different patient vital signs monitors and integrate this data. The system can highlight individual vital signs that pass thresholds set by the surgeons (such as a heart rate that is under 60 beats per minute or over 100 beats per minute). Based on the vital signs data, the system can also provide surgeons with early warning sign alerts (EWS) for a patient that is beginning to deteriorate from normal to critical condition during long surgeries. It does this by integrating the data, identifying relevant patterns, and calculating a final EWS score; when the score crosses the critical threshold, it alerts the surgeons and gives them a set of recommended actions (such as “provide supplementary oxygen” or “stop operation and transfer to critical care”). The system has a “Quick Quiet” function so alerts can be instantly silenced if an emergency occurs with the patient until physicians are ready to reactivate the system; it will still integrate & display vital signs data until it is completely disconnected. First, what stage(s) of human information processing is this automation replacing or augmenting?
