In an online Human Computer Interaction (HCI) lecture, the lecturer mentioned that there are many rules that have been created to guide computer software programmers as well as hardware designers. He mentioned “ben Shneiderman’s eight golden rules” as one of such guidelines, and went on to explain each rule to the class using real life examples. As a teaching assistant in the IT department in Wisconsin international university college Ghana the HCI lecturer have asked you to teach his next class the following guidelines:
i. Interface Design Guidelines,
ii. guidelines for Information Display In not less than 100 words and in your own words describe, using any application software of your choice, each of the rules in the guidelines listed above stating how they were applied.

Someone calculates that the mineral content and physiological properties of the human body have a net worth of about $2.65. Many estimates, however, have been calculated to appraise the real value of human life with one unanimous decision. Every human being is priceless. No monetary value can adequately replace us. No amount of money can compensate for the capabilities of the mind, body, and spirit. This fact alone would make you think that each individual has a lot going in her/or his direction. We tend to dwell on our negative characteristics and this focus can really impede our quality of life. Perhaps the roots of American negativism can be traced to the dogma of Puritanism, where personal worth was believed to be equal to the work you did, and no amount of work was ever enough. It is a fact, however, that Americans typically tend to take a very negative attitude towards themselves. Compound this with the concept of self-filling prophecy and you have a no win situation regarding self-esteem and successful strategies for stress management.
We all have many positive attributes, those qualities that we take pride in form our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual make up. We need to be reminded of these qualities to boost our self- esteem when the gray could of life start to collect over our heads.
Take a moment to reflect on your positive attributes; those qualities that make you unique. Select from all areas of your total well being including your physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual dimensions. Write them in a list, and describe each one and reasons why you consider it to be an asset. If you can’t come up with 8 – 10 attributes, ask a few friends to suggest what they see as your positive attributes. You may be surprised to find what they see in you that you may fail to recognize in yourself. On days when you need a boost in your self-esteem, review this list.

In this discussion, give examine aspects of the human nervous system, how they function, and how disorders affect them.
There are many disorders associated with the nervous system. Identify two disorders, compare each one's effects on the nervous system, and describe their progression. What are their signs and symptoms? Which disorder seems more severe? Why?
Use textbook or Internet search to find possible treatments for each disorder that you identified. Which disorder seems more treatable?
