Reflection · Did We Actually Improve the Interaction?

Positive intent is common.

Evidence of better participant experience is harder.

Week 10 reflection asks whether your prototype changed what users actually experienced.

Intention versus outcome

A design can have excellent intent and still create friction, exclusion, confusion, or privacy risk.

Your job is to evaluate results, not slogans.

Prompt (150-200 words)

What evidence from your Week 10 project best shows whether your Positive Interaction Prototype improved the experience you were trying to change, and what would you revise if you tested it again?

Include:

1. original problem
2. intended experience
3. simulation evidence
4. judgment of improvement level
5. next revision

Goal-evidence matching

Match claims to relevant evidence.

If goal was clarity, use confusion points and missed steps.

If goal was conflict response, use whether escalation path was identified and used.

If goal was digital safety, use audience and consent decisions.

Honest outcomes allowed

If prototype did not improve enough, report that clearly and explain revision plan.

Transparent failure analysis is valid design work.

Week 10 closeout

Week 10 completes the mini-capstone arc:
