Creating Personas – A guide, not a templateBen Ralph
The first thing a good UX Designer should tell you about creating a persona is that if you just blindly follow a template, you have missed the point. User research should inform the layout — don’t let the layout constrain the research.
Put simply, don’t just follow a template.
Sadly, this advice is not very helpful when you are starting out, staring at a blank sheet of paper trying to create a set of personas.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

With just about anything and everything being available online, there is a greater need for having necessary search skills that can wade through the information to find credible sources.Your book defines information literacy as:“The ability to use information tools and information sources to address and answer problems.”The book goes on to say:An information literate person has the “ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively.”The American Library Association takes it a step further to say:“[An information literate person] is prepared for lifelong learning, because they can always find the information needed for any task or decision at hand.”******How many of you know everything there is to know about about any topic out there?****************How many of you think “I” know everything there is to know about any topic out there?***************How many of you would like to learn how to be able to find the answer to any question or any topic out there?*******Hopefully all of you! And that’s what we’re going to be learning in this course.
We will spend several weeks learning to search Google, learning to search our LRC databases for scholarly information, and learning to search the LRC catalog for books.
As you find your information, you will begin to evaluate it to make sure that you are finding credible information, as well as relevant information for your topic.
Harrison uses the APA manual of style. This is what we’ll be using to cite, and organize our information. You will also learn to use an online bookmarking tool to help you organize your info.
For this class, you will be communicating your information in the form of a references page. You will learn to format a title page using APA style, as well as formatting a proper references page. We are NOT writing a research paper though! Each of your sources will have summaries that you will write in your own words. These summaries will describe what the source is about and how it pertains to your topic – but that’s it…no paper! It’s all about the formatting.
