UX Tools: Exploration & Analysis
The readings in this course are integral to both in-class learning and overall coursework. To this end, students must choose 3 weeks during which they’ll use various methods to critically respond to those weeks’ readings (or videos). These will be submitted via Canvas and used to kickstart discussion at the start of every class.
Students may complete additional and optional responses beyond the required 3 in order to improve their standing: only the top 3 marks will count toward the final grade in the course.
Readings each week are not mandatory, but you are required to read them at least 3 times during the course and provide a critical response.
Instructions:

Discuss with someone else in your cohort for 30 minutes
