Common pitfall
Treating technology in social context as a list of terms
Instead
Connect each term to the course question, evidence, and an example.
Common pitfall
Ignoring the audience or context in hci and organizations
Instead
State who is affected, what decision is being made, and what constraints matter.
Common pitfall
Leaving ethical and critical practice until the end
Instead
Use staged practice and revision so the final work reflects feedback and course goals.
