Student-facing instructions
Your task is to conduct a user testing session for your guitar prototypes. Begin by reviewing previous feedback and setting specific goals for this testing session. Prepare the testing environment with all necessary materials, including prototypes and feedback forms. Introduce the session with a brief presentation about your project. Facilitate the testing with your peers and community members, ensuring they understand what to evaluate. Collect and document their feedback meticulously to inform your future design improvements. Finally, spend time reflecting on the feedback received and identify areas for further revision.
