Student-facing instructions
You will start by reviewing your draft and designing a short feedback session format. Pair up with classmates to role-play, and then test with real users. Note down meaningful feedback and decide how you will revise your project. Your goal is to take away clear, actionable feedback and articulate how it will improve your narrative.
