Assignment instruction: Applying Usability Principles For TikTok
applying three of Nielson’s heuristics(I already choose three as shown below):
User control and freedom
Error prevention Consistency and standards
You should write between ~150 words describing how each of three principles apply. A strong entry will provide detailed description and an evaluation of whether this is a good or bad application of a principle and why.
Images are good but do not let them speak for themselves (they rarely do). Annotations or cropped images that focus on a specific feature can help a lot. Even with edited images, rich description is always a good idea. Instead of something like “As can be seen in the screenshot the website is consistent,” try to be specific: “The orange square on the left side of figure 2 is an example of consistent design as it appears on every page of the site always serves the same function, as a link to an orange page.”

Rubric check:
Student explicitly names principle and describes or explains it in their own words (~1-2 sentences). Student contextualizes the specific design example/characteristic of the system chosen for the principle (~2-4 sentences). Student describes how the principle applies to this example/characteristic (~2-4 sentences). Student provides a summation (~1 sentence).
