- Use non-leading questions that demonstrate your neutrality on the topic. ie, not Agree/Disagree, but where the respondent stands from neutral.
- Primarily use close-ended questions so activity is not time-constrained. In general, you should be aware of the options.
- Use open-ended questions only if necessary. If possible, reach for quick & reactionary responses.
- Allow for no response or no opinion in the responses. This is still valuable feedback.
- Aim for 5 minutes maximum in length. Especially for design thinking, emotionally-driven responses give the greater insight.
- Include a few demographic questions so that you can categorize the responses & search for trends.
- If face-to-face interviews, try to get 5 or more. For an online survey, try to get 15 or more responses. These targets will be higher for the Design Projects 2 & 3.

Change isn't easy!
While we can often list a bunch of very rational reasons for why someone should want to change, they often resist. When users have choice, we need to assess and help them move through the steps of accepting and acting on the change.
Journey Maps are a very useful framework for:
- capturing the traits of a specific user profile and their needs
- list the steps in the user's journey
- itemizing their needs at each step in the journey
- capturing your assessment of their emotional journey -- how are they feeling? -- at every step of the way
- identifying opportunities to improve the journey
- ideating about ways to deliver on those opportunities
Here are some examples of Journey Maps for:
‣
‣
‣
‣
- Review work plan & action items.
- Start looking ahead to presentation day.
- Deliverables: Elevator Pitch, Spec Sheet with Self-Reflections, & Model.

“So I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do. We have a huge vested interest in it, partly because it's education that's meant to take us into this future that we can't grasp. If you think of it, children starting school this year will be retiring in 2065. Nobody has a clue, despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days, what the world will look like in five years' time. And yet, we're meant to be educating them for it. So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary.” - Sir Ken Robinson, TED2006, “Do schools kill creativity?”

Colin’s notes for May 22 Class meeting
Ice Cream Flavor Exercise?
Exercise in dream innovation through convergence. Sustainable efficiency in multi-purpose & multi-function design. What other “multi” opportunities are there? Reality Distortion Field.
What do you see in your dorm if you close your eyes now? What do you see in your dorm design? Now mentally squint and what do you see? Imagine a 15-second movie scene.
Connect with OOBE.
Alternate: Proposition of a Chief Detail Officer (Rory Sutherland).
What details make for a sustainability-based dorm experience based on positive human behavior changes? Awareness & action. Aware of who is there (or not there) and the actions that could be taken. For example, a dorm room that monitors air quality & health → uses AI to take or suggest actions. Rory Sutherland examples of train time-savings vs service in Europe, and shape of Shreddies.
Questions for Dorm Designers - human-centered details; talking points for presentation
- What do you like most about your current dorm? Will you preserve this aspect in your design?
- What do you least like about your current dorm? How will you improve on this In your design?
- What did you most like about your dorm on arrival day?
- What did you least like about your dorm on arrival day?
- What do you most fondly remember about adjusting to dorm life?
- What was the most difficult aspect of adjusting to dorm life?
- How long did it take you to decide whether you liked your dorm? What influenced this decision?
- What % of your co-residents would agree with your above thoughts?
- Is there an assigned space in the dorm design for staff?

cultural (sustainability) mindset
Digital Twin:
- vs an Analog Twin. The DT would focus on specific features. Example is the MVP or the Feature List (highlights) product.
- vs another Digital Twin. Twins can be identical or fraternal. Birthed together, raised together, and best if compatible. Applies to the dorm neighborhood.

Longevity, by Design
“Today, Apple published a whitepaper explaining the company’s principles for designing for longevity — a careful balance between product durability and repairability.”
→ I don’t think durability and repairability are definitively opposing. And neither is definitively a critical aspect of longevity.
→ by using the word “balance”, the statement implies the product is not 100% (best)of either.
→ “The longevity of Apple products continues to increase. There are hundreds of millions of iPhones that have been in use for more than 5 years — and that number is still growing. And Apple products remain in use longer than competitor devices.” Note how first and last sentence says “Apple products”, but second sentence provides support only for iPhone. This is an association fallacy. The design thinking is muddled.
Apple 2030 A plan as innovative as our products.
