What are you reviewing for? UPA 2012 International Conference“Leadership”June 5 – 8, 2012The M Resort Spa CasinoLas Vegas, Nevada
What makes a great reviewer? •  Have you attended prior UPA conferences? •  Are you a UX professional or student? •  Have you reviewed before for UPA or another UX industry conference? •  Choose to review subject areas of what you know and love.
What makes a great review? •  Share the positive about each review.  •  Be as descriptive as possible in the critique. •  There is always a way to take the time to point out what IS  working and how to improve. •  If something is borderline, a review that goes into detail is  going to be much more useful (to the committee and the author).   •  While brief reviews are easier to write, they have more potential for causing problems further down the pipeline.
What makes a great review? (con’t.) When reviewing submissions there are several key questions to address such as:  •   Is the content original or updated? •   Is the topic relevant? •   Will this benefit attendees (you)? •   Is the material presented clearly? •   Is the presenter qualified for this material? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
