HCI/design instructors, do you have any goto resources on how to synthesize crit feedback? We use lots of different types of crit in our HCI/design courses—tackboard crits, round robin, large group—but currently offer few resources on how to interpret and act on this feedback. Thanks for the help!

@jonfroehlich @eglassman not to dismiss your question, but beyond giving good, earnest crit, interpreting and acting on feedback within the constraints of a project is a Large part of the capital-p Process. like there’s always going to be somebody whose crit is “i would have done it this way” somebody who picks out visual nits, somebody who uses the work as a springboard to discuss things they wish they had done, etc. maybe they’re all valid depending on what you want or need to do with the work/design/task. learning to interpret, filter, and make use of that feedback is largely the point of art/design school (imo) at least if you’re at a Process driven program and not a portfolio-focused one (as Bierut might call them). harder yet is knowing (and asking for) the kind of crit that would help you make immediate vs long term progress.
