  1. List the names of students in your group.
  2. Did everyone in your group contribute to the discussion of your solutions to this reading reflection? If not, who did not?
  3. Is there anything about a "Norman Door" that you find confusing? That is, given a door, could you say with confidence whether it is a Norman Door and why?
  4. The usability community has a rich history of confusing the terms "signifier" and "affordance". Does your group share this confusion, and, if so, can you help me understand the source of your confusion?
