Research methods

As  tutorial group we discussed research methods and design criteria. Emma pointed out that we can use the tools in Universal Methods of Design to analyse our secondary (contextual) research, not just our primary research. It will be helpful to have some of the research methods in my mind as I read through my secondary research.

The design criteria should be separated into functional and experiential aspects, and Emma suggested placing the design criteria into categories based on what the design 'must do'; 'should do'; and would be 'nice to do'.
