Ex. ph. 393-Shay Hemp & Melissa Mooney

The instruction sets that we found to be most encouraging in making us feel smart and competent was the "Nomadic Furniture" because it was very simple and straight forward. It was easy to understand and they were friendly in the way they wrote the instructions. The "Semaphore" also gave us confidence because they were teaching us a new way to communicate, in an easy way. Also, the fire extinguisher was very simple and easy to understand. The instructions were good because it was short, and the pictures could keep you calm.
The instruction set explaining the Japanese Onomatopoetic with pictures is a little bit confusing, because the pictures do not correspond with the explanation very well. The pictures are a little bit off from the definitions.
The "Arabic Calligraphy" was very conplex. There was too much small writing, too much for just beginning to learn. When trying to learn something new and seeing a lot of small font writing does not make you want to read and learn it. The explosions was confusing because it is not clearly stated what is going on in the picture, and it is in another language to begin with.
The way the authors go about instructing you are appropriate for their context, but that does not mean that it is easy to understand. The "Arabic Calligraphy" is probably a very complex writing style, so it would need very complex instructions.
