1. Think about your first day on the campus of the Iowa State University or your work campus.
How would your task analysis develop if you were unfamiliar with the campus layout?
I would refer to google maps for getting correct locations and easy mode of
transportation. I would also ask some of my friends who study at Iowa state university about my
class location and campus layout. I will also refer to Iowa state university website for the
campus maps and building locations.

2. What additional tasks would you include in your analysis if you were driving in suboptimal
weather conditions?

I will check the condition of the vehicle before starting to make sure if it can be used in
suboptimal condition. I would start from home earlier than the decided time so that I won’t be
late. Also, I could carry an umbrella/ jacket according to weather conditions.

3. Based on your task analysis, provide multiple suggestions that would make your trip more
efficient?

 I will carry items such as notebook or laptop for the class to take down important points
mentioned by the professor.
 I will make sure that the opted task analysis is best for reaching the class.
 As the lecture is for 3 hours I will carry a bottle of water/a cup of coffee for refreshment.
