Student-facing instructions
You will rotate around the classroom to review and give feedback on concept sketches from two other teams. Use sticky notes to leave warm (positive) and cool (constructive) feedback based on the rubric categories: User Understanding, Problem Definition, Creativity, Feasibility. Afterward, review the feedback received on your sketches, look for patterns, and discuss what can be improved based on peer comments.
