How did that go?
Ask immediately after the task attempt, successful or not. Keep the same item, scale, and timing when comparing versions; record which task was attempted.
See the question
- How easy or difficult was it to complete the task?
- Keep the seven-point scale and task context consistent when comparing scores.
Using the answers
Compare the same task across releases, with comparable participants and sample sizes. A single rating is not a benchmark. SEQ is a registered trademark of MeasuringU.
