Which term is used to describe evaluating design quality in a detailed and constructive manner?

• A. Empathy
• B. Critique
• C. Feature
• D. User Interface

Answer: (B)

When you evaluate design quality in a detailed and constructive way, you’re giving a critique. A critique is a careful review that looks at what works well and what could be improved, offering specific observations and practical suggestions to make the design better. It’s about guiding improvement, not just voicing opinions. Empathy focuses on understanding users’ feelings, not evaluating the design itself. A feature is a function the product provides, and the user interface is the visible layout users interact with—neither describes the act of evaluating design quality. In a design review, a critique helps the team refine usability and effectiveness by pointing out concrete changes to implement.
