Reflection
After conducting research on Kick for a time span of 3 months, I felt I had greatly improved my assessment skills and figured out different ways of correctly evaluating a website. These methods range from heuristic evaluations to cognitive walkthroughs which help researchers determine even more ways to find issues or problems with an application. With this being my first ever UX research project, I still feel that there is so much more to learn and I am greatly excited for it!
In terms of future improvements, I feel that during the research process I could have done a better job at conducting the usability interviews. There were times where the participant I was testing did not understand certain tasks or may have taken too long to complete because I didn't specify things like who they should clip or the correct spelling of terms to search up. Additionally, I want to be more organized in the future with writing and formatting reports because I was unfamiliar with what I should or shouldn't add. However, I know that the beginning is always rough and I will only improve with more time and practice! It was a pleasure to work on a topic I am passionate about and I hope to do more research like this in the future!
