Reviewing
I spent some time reviewing my information in ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and Google Scholar. The profiles show my school/university as Northcentral University. I would like to update the school/university to National University (Northcentral changed its name to National University) but there is one important issue. I am not enrolled at this time and therefore unable to verify Continue reading

Ideas
One of the ideas/thoughts I am proud of is the connection I made between utils and usability. Usability could be used to better understand/model utils. See my post on Utils and Usability:https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/10/utils-and-usability.html Continue reading

Usability Services
I saw a notice that the government intends to procure the services of a specific company to provide a tool for usability purposes. It seems that there is much less competition than I thought (a sole source is necessary). I thought more firms were capable of providing that service. Could it be that the company Continue reading

An Important Paper
In general, my signature assignments are the most important papers I prepared at NCU. But, there is one important paper that was not a signature assignment. That paper was on the design of an e-commerce website. It touched on usability and consumer decision-making. It was the final paper for a course just not called a Continue reading

Confusion
I received a form/letter notifying me of a decision that caused some confusion. One person thought the decision was a rejection (maybe because that was the first thing she noticed or maybe because she doesn’t know the type of plan I am on). When I reviewed the form carefully, I realized that the decision was Continue reading

Contracting Opportunities
I spent some time looking through contracting opportunities with the federal government. I am interested in learning more about their solicitations for survey services, writing services, and usability/design (I am available for work in these areas. For additional information on my background in survey services and usability, see Post on background in statistics and Post on Continue reading

Underrated Skill
The ability to write clearly is the most underrated skill all successful people have, according to Dr. Juliette Han in her January 2023 CNBC article https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/25/harvard-neuroscientist-shares-the-underrated-skill-successful-people-have-especially-introverts.html.

Photos, Introduction To Usability
The photos above show a textbook (Interaction Design) I purchased years ago for a course at UMBC along with a page from the book. I first learned of usability during that course. Continue reading
FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
