Design for HCD problemThe prompt was designed such that the generative AI elicited responses that reflect userexperiences in the workstation according to the four elements of a prompt [33]; instruction,context, input data, and output indicator, while also integrating emotional state cues. Theseelements ensure clarity, and specificity in generating insights to usability, user experience, andemotional responses to system interactions. For instance, this approach was applied to thefollowing prompt: "Write 500-word interview notes with a person sitting at a workstation in aprivate office who seems frustrated with their ability to concentrate, with that person answeringquestions about what is good and bad about their workstation, including the chair

Whilestudents typically pick a major course of study based on interest in that field, they expect thatcompleting the institution’s program will enable them to find a high-paying job [19].Amidst this pressure of applying and having to make long-term plans at a young age, collegeapplicants also need to parse unclear messaging from universities. Institutional missionstatements, which inform their marketing to applicants, are often designed to attract applicationsrather than be reflective of the “lived mission” of those institutions in practice [20, 21].

Critically, the student must leverage the clearly established power of reflection inlearning when resubmitting the assessment by explaining what went wrong in the initial attemptand providing corrected work. It is often valuable to reward students who navigate the classwithout the use of tokens, such as by providing an automatic "pass" on the Final Exam. Somestudents find this reward to be more of a stick than a carrot. The pressure to hold on to everytoken increases the perceived importance of every assignment.The number of tokens and the schedule for when they are issued to the students are issues thathave no easy answer.
