<aside> 🖋 Intro to Digital Product Design Application: https://forms.gle/JD1SAP7rg6d2Pm2x6 Applications are due at 11:59 PM on Sunday, February 9, 2020.

This document is a pre-test for INFO 1998: Intro to Digital Product Design, taught by Cornell AppDev. Check out Course Information for instructions on how to enroll and Course Policies for more details.

Why a pre-test?

We love design and appreciate that so many students show interest in our class. Unfortunately, we only have a small number of TAs, which limits our ability to provide high-quality, individualized feedback while also supporting a large class size. The pretest will familiarize you with tools we will be using throughout the semester and helps us determine your effort and investment into the course.

For the Spring 2020 semester, our course capacity is 60 students.


🤓 Pre-Test Overview

The Intro to Digital Product Design pre-test will give you a taste of the class and show you examples of what you'll learn by the end of the course. The pre-test is split into 3 parts:

  1. Learning how to use Notion
  2. Learning how to use Figma
  3. Reflecting on some previous case studies from this class

Required time to complete

The pre-test takes a different amount of time for everyone – for some, it may take 3 hours while for others, it may take 8 hours. If you think that you will not have time to complete pre-test or take this course, please feel free to take it another semester or audit the course. Intro to Digital Product Design is offered both in the Fall and Spring semesters.

<aside> ⚠️ This pre-test will be judged on completion of the requirements and effort, not on skill level. We encourage all students to apply, whether you're a beginner or a professional.
