Purchase a small (no larger than 5"x7") sketchbook or notebook. (I'm a big fan of Moleskine notebooks for my own use, but you can use anything you'd like).

Each week, you need to identify -three- two "everyday things" similar to those described by Norman in the first two chapters of his book. Make a small sketch of it in your notebook, and note what the particularly good or bad aspects of its design are (taking into account the "Normanisms" discussed in class).

I will collect and grade these notebooks before the break, and then again on the last day of class (at which point you should have 20 items documented in your sketchbook).
