I agree with what this part are talking about the design is exclude specific groups. But think about from the designer side, it's hard to include every user group, determine gender identity consistent with the sex they were assigned at birth might be hard for management. But yeah, i agree design should try to be as inclusive as possible, although the reality may be it's hard to design for everyone, we should still try to reach the goal.

I totally agree with this statement. It's important to understand the logic behind oour suser's behavior instead of just consider the asthetic design.

I totally agree with this statement. It's important to keep this in mind as a designer since we will always receive critique and suggestion. Always have a reason for the design decision we make and alway balance between different options we can choose.

As a designer, it's important to help users know the affordance of the different UI. Knowing this concept help me build up awareness of making UI simple, and make them looks like parts that's able to interact with.

As a designer I totally agree with this, I think this is something I really need to remind myself everyday since sometimes I might be too "satisfy" with my prototype and i don't want to throw away them. But the most valuable thing for design is we can quickly find a better idea to replace the old one, and there is always a better one. Just like the quote said that we user prototype to aquire knowledge

I totally agree with these. The most important knowledge we can learn from competitive analysis is to save ourself the cost of trying. Building things base on the worldly current understanding can help us avoid spending a lots of time building something others have already failed on doing. Having this detailed analysis, learning from others' mistakes help to get to our problem space with a more advance lens.

I agree with this statement, it's important to get to know the participants, and adjust the problem space base on that. I think we should not only just with the education level, we should consider the demographic's cultural background, religion background, social-economic status as well.

I didn't consider user-friendly as a word that's vague and in-precise at first. But after reading this, I agree with this statement. It's true that not stating how specifically, but just said it's friendly is not helpful. Since a product can be user friendly in a lots of way, just saying it's friendly it's like saying something but without evident to support the statement.

I can really related to this because I am the kinds of kids not having too many ideas. But after learning that most of my peers are having ideas not because of they are more creative than I am but they spent more time on learning what are some successful examples other people have made, and redesign or reuse these ideas,I start to try it too. This turns to work pretty well for me, and I figure out creating is not making something brandly new, but re-desgin on the foundations of others..

I personally stay neutral about this method. Although this is a way to show how important it's to solve the problem, I think it can easily lead to cognitive bias, especially confirmation bias. We might intentionally look up data that can support our claim, and over exaggerate the problem.

I agree with this viewpoint. As a UX researcher, It's important to stay mindful with not over relying on one specific method. I think it's important for us to try different user research methods at the beginning of our design journey. This can equipped us to be more flexible in future's user research.

I can see where this is coming from, but I do consider this to be too extreme. I think it's reasonable for designers to have a standard they trying to align to but it's almost impossible to design things that can be used by everyone since people are just so different. I believe if a design can serve its user groups nicely, it can be considered valuable to make.
