In his video presentation, Dr. Schmidt referred to tendency as "UX Theater," where users go the process of UX but without applying what is learned to the design of the product. I imagine that until this process becomes second nature, you would have to put in as much effort at applying and integrating the persona as you do actually creating it.

It seems to me that this would be one of the goals of this exercise--that the users of the persona would find connections to the characters depicted in them and relate them with real people they have come in contact with. It is probably the case that the more dimensions to the persona that get fleshed out in its creation, the more likely it will be that users will be able to find some element of the character that reminds them of someone that they know.

This is a point that was brought home to me recently in my own interactions with students in a course that I teach. The course is offered in a fully online format and a student reached out at the beginning of the semester to say that she only had access to a Chromebook with no availability for tools like MS Word. I had to consider how the documents and submissions in each module would work for her and if any adjustments or modifications would need to be made as a result.

This is me trying out the annotation feature using Hypothesis. I can add LaTex in annotation: \(i (0+) = \mathcal{E}/R\)

I can also add images:
