A survey of 64 undergraduates found the exercise helpful, with only three citing doubts about drawing skill.

Researchers surveyed 64 female undergraduates after a group hand-drawing activity used to frame usable privacy and security research problems in an information and computer security course. Students generally called the exercise helpful and enjoyable and recommended it for that course. They also wanted similar exercises in Principles of Human-Computer Interaction and Fundamentals of Data Networks. Only three mentioned downsides, all tied to doubts about their drawing skills.

Key facts
  • Sixty-four female undergraduates completed the in-class survey.
  • Students asked for the exercise in HCI and data-networking courses.
  • Only three students reported downsides, all about drawing ability.
