What are the steps of this reasearch experiment?

This experiment consists of two sessions of 30 minutes each. If you agree to participate, the first session will happen today and you'll be contacted in about three weeks for the second session. This delay is due to the fact that we need to recruit alls participants before moving to the second session.
During the first session, you'll be asked to fulfill a questionnaire and then to rate a set of news articles based on their title and a short description. These ratings will be used to train a recommender system and generate some personalized news recommendations.
During the second session, you'll be asked to rate these recommendations and then answer a questionnaire.
