A room-status display uses color to distinguish available rooms from reserved ones. Which change best supports people who do not perceive color in the same way?

  1. A

    Use red and green alone to distinguish room status.

  2. B

    Make the available status larger than all other text, without adding a label.

  3. C

    Use a clear text label or symbol as well as color, and check text contrast.

  4. D

    Use different colors for each status and omit explanatory text.

A team is investigating why students have trouble finding study spaces. Which research activities could provide evidence about students’ current experience? Select all that apply.

  1. A

    Interview students about their goals and frustrations.

  2. B

    Observe students as they look for rooms.

  3. C

    Review service data for recurring patterns.

  4. D

    Choose a solution before gathering evidence and ask students only whether they like it.

A prototype test with a small group reveals that several students misunderstand a room-status label. The team also wants to know how common this misunderstanding is among all campus students. What is the best next step?

  1. A

    Treat the small-group results as a reliable estimate of how common the problem is across the whole population.

  2. B

    Use the test to identify issues, then conduct further research suited to estimating how widespread they are.

  3. C

    Ignore the test because only large studies can reveal any design problems.

  4. D

    Replace the test with a team vote about whether the design seems effective.

Before handing a design project to an implementation team, which information should be documented to support evidence-based decisions? Select all that apply.

  1. A

    The user need and research findings

  2. B

    The chosen concept and the reasons for the prototype decisions

  3. C

    Only the final visual design, with earlier findings omitted

  4. D

    Evaluation results, unresolved risks, and next steps

After a test, students repeatedly mistake a room marked “reserved” for one they can use. Which response best applies an evidence-based approach to iteration?

  1. A

    Change the prototype after every test, even if no evidence suggests a change.

  2. B

    Keep the prototype unchanged so test results remain comparable.

  3. C

    Revise it to address a finding or test a stated assumption.

  4. D

    Make the prototype more polished before deciding what the test showed.

A campus team is considering a service to help students find study spaces, but it does not yet know whether the main difficulty is availability, accessibility, or navigation. Describe a practical project plan from framing the challenge through evaluation and iteration. Explain how the team should use evidence to guide its decisions.

A study-space prototype uses color to show whether rooms are available. Which change would make the status information more understandable to people who do not perceive color in the same way?

  1. A

    Use green for available rooms and red for unavailable rooms, with no other status cues.

  2. B

    Pair color with a text label or symbol that communicates each room’s status.

  3. C

    Make every room status the same visual size and position so no status stands out.

  4. D

    Use color contrast as the only way to distinguish primary actions from supporting details.

    Interview students to learn what they say they do when looking for a room.

  2. B

    Review service records to identify recurring room-search patterns.

  3. C

    Observe students as they search for rooms to see what they actually do.

A team needs to find out whether students can navigate a proposed room-finding service. Which prototype is most appropriate for testing that assumption?

  1. A

    Build a complete digital service so participants can use every feature.

  2. B

    Create a clickable screen sequence that lets participants try the navigation.

  3. C

    Prepare a polished poster showing the intended final service.

  4. D

    Write a report listing the design team’s assumptions about navigation.

After observing students search for rooms, a team thinks that unclear status labels caused several delays. What is the best way to synthesize the evidence before writing a problem statement?

  1. A

    Record what participants did separately from the team’s explanation of why they did it.

  2. B

    Combine observations and interpretations into a single conclusion so the team can act quickly.

  3. C

    Write the preferred solution first, then select observations that support it.

  4. D

    Treat a participant’s comment as proof that all users share the same need.
