Final Week’s Tasks

The document is finished! We have two drafts, both in English and French, of wonderfully concise instruction for Google Forms. However, Team 6 is studious. We are a hard-working group of individuals, and I am sensing a need for perfection from our Irish members. Although they have communicated as much as possible on any issues, inconsistencies, or concerns, there are still messages flooding into Slack regarding layout discrepancies or language use. I do believe that overediting is a legitimate concern for this document. Because we have finished early, we’ve had more time to dedicate for testing, usability, and revision. I think we have all been responsible for nitpicking this week; but since our instruction is a combination of many different students’ work, it’s difficult to completely reform entire sections or points while still remaining cohesive. Ireland shares a similar level of individualism as the United States, meaning we are both highly driven by success. Perhaps this emphasis on individualism is why we are all so keen on making our document immaculate. However, I do fear that we may have revisited areas of concern a little too much and the instruction is perfectly usable without our continuous revisions. Regardless, Luke and Guillaume will be participating as our usability testers for the week, and I’m confident that they will emphasize only the most important areas that need to be reassessed.
