HCD.13:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Better move
“Eight weeks passed, so this is retention without practice.”	Recover the actual use history and qualify the conclusion.
“The delayed no-tool test failed, so the person forgot.”	Separate delay from support withdrawal or report the combined condition.
“The answer returned after coaching, so there was no loss.”	Distinguish a qualified no-relearning return from newly taught performance.
“The fifteen-minute core proves the whole course.”	State its selected contributions and preserve untested coverage.
“The follow-up is in the plan, so resources exist.”	Obtain time, assessor and access before the actual observation.
