Presentations Reflections

 Reflections:

Condensing and adapting to the situation. Catch social que's. Be ready to change your presentation to how people are responding and what they seem interested in. Be concise. Answer the questions directly addressing one at a time. Repeat it back. Prioritize certain parts of the presentation that will help us understand your product more. If all are equally important than shorten all of them equally so you can get through all the info. Just do surface level explanation and if people have questions you can more in-depth then.


bike maintenance- don't assume people have had this experience or pain point if it is a niche group (Bikers that need maintenance tools)


Be mindful of time restraints and respect them. In corporate settings time is money and your boss will not take kindly for not respecting the set time given.     


"mine umbrella flipped today" - Relatable humor that also adds to point you're trying to make (Wind is common in this city)


Teacher Comments:

Think of the surrounding space and what disturbances will be caused. How will this effect people and will it effect peoples willingness to use it.

--> Stadium: Too much going on. Focus on the thing that people would most enjoy or are most in need for. 

Think about the placement of your objects  and how it obscures the view and may cause safety issues.

Even if youre review notes dont look at your phone or other devices. It makes the viewers lose focus because it appears you as well are not focused. Engage with listenser with eye contact or questions.

Slow technology cares more about the users mental wellbeing. As UX designers we need to design for slowness, solitude and mental rest. How do we change the functionalities and design to help the users not get overwhelmed? We could avoid numbers based goals and information. We should reward users for taking their time and  "Living Technology Lives", people are always on their phones and rely on it heavily.

* Research: Different Analysis

  Research Methods - Be transparent about what your biases are/could be in your research. - Theme names give some indication of what problem you are addressing -Appendices will give people opportunity to check your code and data Thematic Analysis: Look for patterns (Themes, hence the name) across textual data. The examples he showed was transcripts from conversations between researchers. He also showed us an example where the designers that updated the Metro used Mural to organize their themes and notes on the different areas that need to be addressed in their design. The themes can have subcategories that are more descriptive( CCTV--> Anti-social behavior). The Process:  Familiarization--> coding --> generate themes --> review themes codes --> define and name themes --> write up analysis  Grounded Theory: This one is different because you don't have a specific theory or hypothesis (or preconceptions about the theory).
