Imagine you are leading a team of designers for a new software product. During the kickoff meeting, the team starts to discuss design guidelines. About half of the team complains that guidelines can be too specific, incomplete, hard to apply, and sometimes wrong. The other half feels that building on experience from design leaders contributes to steady improvements. Take a stance on this debate and support your position. Then discuss how you would solve this conflict to get your meeting back on track.

Of the eight principles of design, called "Golden Rules" (strive for consistency, cater to universal usability, offer informative feedback, design dialogues to yield closure, prevent errors, permit easy reversal of actions, support internal locus of control, and reduce short-term memory load) choose the one that is most important and create an argument supporting your choice. Use specific examples to support your argument.

Imagine you are the manager of a medium-sized IT department. While walking through the hall one day, you overhear a senior-level software developer telling a newly hired developer to focus on improving his coding skills rather than learning about theories related to human-computer interaction. Take a position on whether you agree or disagree with the senior software developer. Support your decision.

Discuss the idea that all applications have to be visually consistent. Argue whether you agree or disagree with the idea and why.

Describe the importance of maintaining integrity rules throughout the database structure. Create at least three examples of common relationships that are used within a relational database system. Justify your response.

Many times, database designs do not include the proper use of indexes. Provide a specific example on how an index could be used in order to enhance user search experience. List specific fields that you would index. Analyze what would occur if the proper index is not included, with respect to your example

Suppose you have been hired as an IT professional to support database reporting functionality for a Human Resources system. Compose at least two aggregate function queries that can be useful for the executives of the organization to extract summary data from a database system.

Synthesize how aggregate functions help the organization understand employee performance. Provide an example that supports how the aggregate function is used to leverage talent within the organization. Note: The Strayer Oracle Server may be used to test and compile the SQL Queries developed.
