Evaluating user experience : Individual assignment 3, paper review

Wizard of Oz prototyping

I think this method(the version described in this paper) is specially useful for designs including more aspects than mere screen interface. Although even in case of simpler web or mobile application it can provide more realistic test settings than paper or clickable prototypes. Well actually I am not sure if I can consider prototypes a subset of WOZ in general..

ImmersionWell I am not sure about this method. I think this is(or can) be done in any case even when we have real users. Since the experimenter is one person here, the question is how difficult it is to find "one" user for the system?
Bottom line is that no harm on doing it in addition to some other evaluation method.

Emofaces
Capturing emotional response through emo-pics sounds interesting and engaging. It can help break the (sometimes boring) routine of testing a design. However I dont see much use in our current design project, because this tool is a job related tool and my assumption is that it does not contain much emotional reaction.

My choice:
I have not indicated this choice clearly before. my original thought was WOZ . But during the class we decided to use WOZ in combination with emofaces and it was good combination.

paper review: How to Read a Paper

This was a very short, dense and informative paper with step by step detailed method.
The paper had two main parts:
-how to read on specific paper
-how to start a literature review

how to read a paper part:
Author had divided paper reading process to three steps and by each step we go deeper in understanding the paper.
I realised that I mostly stop in second pass and rarely get to third pass. but I perform some of the steps from final pass during second pass as well. I generally question the statements of the author, I do think what could be differently or what I would do in this case, and I think about possible further works.
