Testing is your chance to gather feedback, refine solutions, and continue to learn about your users. The test mode is an iterative mode in which you place low-resolution prototypes in the appropriate context of your user’s life. Prototype as if you know you’re right, but test as if you know you’re wrong.

Practicing Technical Interviews

Our interview and observation data show that non-traditional adult computer science learners (not in 4-year college but either taking programming courses in community college or online) currently face a lack of confidence during the live coding portion of technical interviews interview.

Our results show that the problem is happening because they are not used to being watched while they code.

Based on the interviews with these adult learners, we think that providing opportunities for recorded mock interviews with feedback from another person can solve the problem and help target learners achieve confidence in their ability to code while being interviewed and in their ability explain their thought process.
