Subclaims¶

q2 i? All eight novice designers iterated during the design task; iteration counts derived from tool logs ranged from 10 to 30 (average 18.6, SD 7.9). → Verstegen 2006

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Log-file analysis of eight novice designers working five days on a simulator-specification task; iteration counts were derived from MASTER-TPD tool logs. Counts 'ranges from 10 to 30 (average: 18.6; standard deviation: 7.9)'.

"Table 4 shows that all subjects iterate. The number of iterations ranges from 10 to 30 (average: 18.6; standard deviation: 7.9)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Novice designers produced acceptable training program designs with the MASTER-TPD method and accompanying support
• Scheduled design cycles and peer review most successfully evoked iteration; the resources message and chat sessions were less successful
• Subjects most often attributed their iteration to new insights or discovering that initial choices were not the best
