I have to agree with professor Ko that good critique is a conversation over a single opinion. I've been in situations such as group project in my other INFO classes where people can simply say that that looks good or "I think you should fix that small..." without having proper reasoning. ALso the article mention the hamburger rule as it's not just about being nice, but about giving feedback that will help people or project grow. This reminded me that giving critical feedback is important and that also helping the other grow, Personally, I am very much open to critical feedback as long as the reasoning is good!

I really like this point as it reminded me of my own hobbies and creativity. As a photographer when I first started taking photos, I would often compared myself with those who have much more experience even though I was very much a beginner or even felt like I wasn't creative enough. Although looking up to others is good to get more inspiration and learn, I think that I was doing it to the point where it was hurting me more then i was learning. Over time, I realized that creativity and finding my own 'presets' just took a lot of time and practive. The more I experience with different styles of photography and editing styles, I started developing my own visions and editing styles. This reading reflected and how creativity isn't talent but it's also about ability to see different things and express it which i can take forward with this class.

I like this idea and concept of personas that professor Amy is talking about. To me, this made reflected and think back how important a person with proper credential make up for valid data if that make sense. Or in other words, its easy for us to use data that makes up generic user instead of important 'personas'. I know that using relevant and important data / personas is important but this does change my perspective a bit as I though persoans was another approach but now, I see persoans as something that should be taken highly into consideration as evidence for design.

This is a really interesting way the approach a 'problem'. To me when I am approaching a problem weather that is at school, work or anywhere, I would often approach in bits similar such as breaking it down and knowing where to tackle first but as professor Amy said in this quote, "They're tangled webs of causality which one might call wicked". This kinda changed my perspective a bit on how problems are often far more interconnected and not organized. This gave me a new perspective because I now see that problems are not always getting from point A to B or even like breaking down steps like I mentioned. This challenged me that sometimes, design is accepting what it is and moving forward with it such as having small improvement instead of one big fix.

I agree with professor Amy on this one. Usually when I do a group project or something creative and that it is geared towards multiple customers, I want to. seek as many perspective as possible. Not only that, but also being open to critical feedback and taking that forward and reapplying to your projects and design is important. Seeking multiple perspective can also give you a better idea or solution to what you want to get done or achieve.

This one of they things that spoke out to me in this . At my internship this past summer, one of the key values that I learned is to work backwards and put the customer first or that the customer is always right. After learning that, I could not really approach a problem without having to work backwards. Similarly can be said about design and in this paragraph: instead of jumping into conclusions, and making solutions right away, we should put the customer, user or human first and work backwards that we can design and create solutions that actually matter!
