Tier Session

1. Problem Statement

Struggling to understand what users actually need from a digital interface? You are not alone: design decisions are often based on personal preferences rather than observations and specific information. This can lead to page structures that do not reflect real user tasks, while important actions remain difficult to notice. A visually organized screen does not always help a person complete the intended scenario. Tier Session explains how to collect, organize, and apply research materials during the interface design process.

2. Solution

This course will teach you how to define research questions and identify which information should be gathered before creating a structure. You will examine observation methods, interviews, response analysis, and ways to group recurring themes. The materials explain how to separate facts from assumptions and avoid drawing conclusions too early. Practical assignments guide you through creating user profiles, needs maps, and focused interaction scenarios. After completing the course, you will be able to prepare a research summary and use it as a foundation for interface structure decisions.

3. What’s Inside

Module 1: Research Questions and Objectives
Learn how to define the purpose of a study, write neutral questions, and establish boundaries for a specific research task.

Module 2: User Interviews and Observation
Examine interview preparation, response documentation, behavioral observation, and methods for avoiding leading questions.

Module 3: Organizing Research Notes
Learn how to arrange notes, identify recurring themes, and separate facts, quotations, and personal assumptions.

Module 4: User Profiles and Context
Describe goals, circumstances, difficulties, and recurring behaviors across different user groups without relying on broad generalizations.

Module 5: Journey Mapping
Create a map of consecutive steps, thoughts, and points of difficulty within one selected scenario.

Module 6: Turning Findings into Design Decisions
Connect research findings with navigation, page content, action sequences, and interface priorities.

Module 7: Research Summary Assignment
Analyze a study dataset, identify central observations, and prepare a concise explanation for a proposed interface structure.

4. Who Is This For?

✅ A good fit if you:

• understand basic screen structures and user flows;
• want to base design decisions on research;
• would like to examine user behavior and context;
• want to organize notes and observations more clearly;
• are prepared to work with written data and practical scenarios.

❌ Not for you if you:

• only want material about colors, typography, or decorative elements;
• do not plan to complete research exercises;
• require work with large real-world research samples;
• expect a defined career or commercial outcome.

5. What You’ll Learn

• write at least five neutral research questions;
• prepare a plan for a focused interview;
• separate observations from assumptions;
• group notes according to recurring themes;
• create two basic user profiles;
• map a scenario containing five or more stages;
• identify central difficulties at each stage;
• connect research findings with specific interface elements;
• prepare one complete research summary.
