    1. What are your three most important takeaways from Unit 2?

    The three most important takeaways are:

    * Problem statements should not contain a solution.

    * The four steps of user research synthesis are collecting and organizing the data, mining the data, sorting and grouping data, and identifying insights.

    * There are 6 types of biases. They are confirmation bias, false consensus bias, primacy bias, recency bias, implicit bias, and sunk cost fallacy.

    2. What would you do differently to improve your learning and performance with Unit 2?

    I would watch the support videos and space out my course assignments more so I can process the lessons from Unit 2.

    3. How would you improve this unit for the next learner completing it?

    I would improve this unit by providing a video that identifies each type of research bias that a UX designer/researcher would face in the user research stage of the design process.

    4. What surprised you the most about Unit 2?

    I was surprised that designers and researchers use informal discussions with users to get an insight into their internal biases when researching and purchasing products.

    Dear Charlene,

    1) The three most important takeaways from Unit 1 are:

    1. Information architecture is the organization of information on a digital product.
    2. Discovery is a preliminary stage where designers gather insight about the user and gain initial direction for the problem. It does not include the testing of hypotheses or solutions.
    3. The nine-layer Pace Layering of Design are:
    • Designing visuals
    • Designing interactions
    • Designing flows
    • Designing whole features or sections of a product
    • Designing apps/products
    • Designing teams
    • Designing businesses
    • Designing society
    • Designing nature

    They are the framework of design and address the relationship between the design team, stakeholders, society, and the environment.<div>

    2) I would search for diagrams and visual models of key topics before completing each activity to improve my learning and performance with Unit 1.

    3) I would improve this unit for the next learner completing it by including a mental study checklist of the unit so the learner can see how they are progressing through the unit.

    4) One question I have after completing Unit 1 is:

    What happens when a UX designer does not complete all nine layers of the Pace Layering of Design?

    A designer needs a portfolio, some experience, UX/UI fundamental knowledge, and user research skills.
