Here is my take
TUT102
.... you should be able to .... the following conepts
Chapter 1
Human Computer interaction
Interaction design
Usability goals
User experience
Chapter 2
Conceptual Model
Chapter 5
Affective Aspects
Chapter 7
Data Gathering
Chapter 10
Needs and requirements
Chapter 11
Scenarios
Prototypes
Chapter 13
Decide
Chapter 12 - 14
Evaluation
thus
Chapters 1,2,5,7,10,11,12,13,14
Can somebody clarify this ?

I wish they would just give us a clear indication of what we're supposed to study from the text book.
I see they did just that in last years exam tutorial ('08), according to that they had to study:
ch1
2
5 (not 5.8)
7
9 (not 9.4)
10 (not 10.7)
11 (not 11.4,11.6.3 or 11.7)
12 (only 12.1, 12.2, 12.3)
13
14
15 (only 15.2.1)
Now this more or less coincides with what was mentioned above. But who knows..??
The only chapters that we're not supposed to study according to tut 501 is:
3, 8 and 9.4.2

im tired of wishing that the exam tut was more helpful so im just gonna concentrate on wat seems to be the GENERAL idea as discussed above cos there no way in hell im gonna have time or brain power to summarize n remember and recall 700 pages. im taking my chances hoping i dont have to see this module again
next year.hopefully i would cover enough of the ambigous "prescribed" textbook content to pass this module.

Yep, pretty much, going to start summarizing today and just get a rough outline of the work.
They've got a summary on http://wikistudent.ws/Unisa/INF320E as well, but it's probably based on the previous version of the book / older syllabus. But every bit helps.

Ive summarized up to ch 12...still have to summarize the rest and then learn everything....plus I have to finish everything for COS211 which is on monday!\
If its the theory covered in the assignments then its:
Ass 1: Unit 1 - 2
Ass 2: Units 4 - 7
Ass 3: Units 9 - 15
Still a lot of pages!

I'm on Chapter 6, having read through and summarized all the required chapters up to and including part of Chapter 6.
I'm running out of time so I'm going to read through the remaining chapters and underline what I need to learn in the textbook but not make notes and I'm going to try to learn as I go and not read through now then try to memorize it later.
I'm using 501 to find out what to study and using the Unit Outcomes to pick out the most important facts.

I've got the previous year's t203, it's the solution to an assignment along with some exam information - but no paper..so not of the greatest use - but I'll send it to you if you're interested
At the moment I'm concentrating on chapters 1,2,5,7,10,11,12,13,14 - if I have time left I'll go over the rest

Went through the forums looking for information about the previous years exams - here's what I found from the 2008 forum:
Give 4 items that are environmental requirements / context of use (this was in Unit 10 - Identifying needs and establishing requirements)
For 2 points, discuss the practical issues in the DECIDE framework
Discuss the affective aspects of interaction
Discuss scenarios (can't work out if they were asked to write an example one)

lets just give it all we got.we got four days left. if we can jus focus we wnt hav to see ths module again.i suggest alternatiing between reading and making notes, dnt just read the whole day or make notes the whole day. better yet, is to summarize after each chapter. i also found that there are related pieces of info here and there, maybe once we have made some notes wel see the logic. good luck.

I'll mail you the tutorials now - but unfortunately no previous exam papers. I think the course changed somewhat last year as well (read something about a new lecturer somewhere on the previous years forum section), so I'm not sure of how much use older papers would be.
There's some chapter slide shows on here as well, some of them are quite big though: http://www.id-book.com/interactivities_index.htm

We all seem to be struggling with finding motivation to study this subject.
Seeing there's so many of us in the same boat, maybe we need to try to motivate each other.
I agree with Amy, there's just a few days left so lets make the most of them.
Maybe we should post anything that we have found interesting about this subject or something we have learnt from it and maybe it will motivate us or tell us what you're looking forward to being able to do after the exams and maybe that will help.
Anybody got any other suggestions?

I do agree with cornellvdw on the content layout.
I just don't know what to make of the last point: Evaluation of interactive systems... seems to cover quite a lot of work!
I really do think that one of the longer question (10-15 marks) will be on the DECIDE framework.
What do you guys think?
