The document describes testing a prototype registration tool. Students were asked to imagine using the prototype and provide feedback. Feedback goals were to understand if students liked the tool, identify criticisms, and determine if it solved registration problems. Students provided feedback, with most liking the compass function but suggesting increasing the flexibility and choices in the tool. Integrating the feedback, developers concluded the tool should be more flexible while maintaining the traditional compass guidance that was well received.

11. Integrate feedback
We thought that the modules release
themselves according to the process would
be more simplifies the usage of the tool,
however due to our interviews, if the tool
would be more flexible, users feel more free.

12. Compass is the most appreciated module of
the tool since it guides the user in a
traditional way. Although the technology we
have today, using a traditional way(like a
compass) to guide the user is attractive.

13. One of the most appreciated features of the
tool is the form, because it is really flexible
and bendable, and it can stick on your t-shirt
or whatever you are wearing. And also the
handkerchief form reflects the formality and
institutional structure of Koc University.
