During Critique for Presenters

Explain design rationale & design context
Be careful to not over-present your design. You want your audience to see your design without any prejudice

Let the Critic know what you’re having trouble with
Be specific about what kind of critique you’d like to receive and what you don’t want at this stage

Don‘t expect good responses from the start, and try not to be defensive and don’t interrupt the Critic when he / she is speaking
Invite objective criticism if Critics are too nice
Rephrase each question before answering it
If the Critic asks a question or gives a comment you don’t understand, ask for clarification – being on the same page is important
Ask why issues raised are of concern and write down actionable suggestions received
Listen for possibilities and issues that aren’t present in your current thinking
Make sure the feedback is relevant to the questions you asked
Take notes or have someone take notes for you
Be positive and polite

Ex: “Thank you for all the feedback, I will think about all of them”
