I like the general philosophy of how criticism should be applied from your point of view. I knew this kind of 'bad' behaviour from myself but also from my colleagues where you tell the presenter what he has done wrong even before he/she started his presentation. Luckily, I've realised that telling other people what they made wrong is very easy and more importantly doesn't create a productive and comfortable environment. This is a great post!

In order to get less bias analysing data. Students doing open interviews, recording and analysing data may be less rigid on subjectivity when working in a clear setting that diggs up rationale. Receiving critique as a matter of exploring different perspectives. Iteration after iteration one can unviel common interest of people and systems in order to accomplirons davantage .

One thing I try to aim for in critiques is to get the designer criticizing their own work, based on the conversation. If that occurs, you will see a better synergy between the critique and the outcome. The separation of design from criticism though (creating a new space) is counter to the success of the studio, where designing and criticism happen all the time. I understand why this might have to happen w/ different stakeholders, but critique happening fluidly, in the context of designing is most successful. - Dave This was an awesome post, Jared.mthank you for not only the reasoning, but the practical suggestion & structure.
