KIN 320 - Task Analysis

Task analysis describes methodologies that can be applied to identify, describe, and analyze how people interact with their environment and with each other. Task analysis includes a broad range of descriptive and analytic techniques from which the practitioner must select the most appropriate one for their purposes and setting. This skills-based course will guide students in learning task analysis methodologies and associated techniques using a combination of didactic, case-study, and experiential learning-based teaching methods. The application of task analysis from the perspective of a Human Factors & Ergonomics (HFE) specialist will be emphasized.
