Work for Friday’s class

Q&A

Debrief on Friday’s activities

What did you learn about quick-and-dirty usability testing?

What would you do differently next time?

What did you learn being a research subject?

How did the rapid-interview technique work?

Should I use it again when I teach the class again? How should I modify it?

Notes are in the channel for this class period (at least I think they are).

Break

A slightly early break.
