Question
Name the seven primary research methods in B2.1.3.
Answer
User observations, interviews, surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, material testing and product analysis.
Question
What four outputs does primary data feed?
Answer
User requirements, design specification criteria, the persona, and suggestions for further development of a solution.
Question
What makes a material test valid?
Answer
A stated condition rather than a vague quality — 200 wipes with a named disinfectant, not "is it durable" — plus identical samples, the same procedure each time, and a control.
Question
Why ask questionnaire items about behaviour rather than opinion?
Answer
Opinions tend to support whatever the designer already planned. A behaviour question produces a count that can contradict you, which is the only kind worth the hours.
