Week 6 · Answer and observation guide

Part 1 · Microsoft Edge: Test the page before you change it

Goal 1 (practice only, not on the post-test): Write checks first, then test a web page with them and write down what you really saw.

Evidence: Checks: in Edge, each learner opens version 1, searches library, learning, zzz and LIBRARY, and writes what they saw on the test table (1 found, none found, none found, 1 found).

Check: Which check can a partner run without guessing? Type zzz. The page says no entries match. It says what to type and what you expect to see.

Common problems

• Cannot find the gold button? Click the Week 6 · Worksheet tab, then roll the mouse wheel toward you until you see Part 1.
• The result looks different? Click Reset filters, then type the word again.
• Closed the Version 1 tab by mistake? Click the Week 6 · Worksheet tab and click Open version 1 again.

Part 2 · Microsoft Edge: Ask for one change, with limits

Goal 2 (practice only, not on the post-test): Write a request for an AI agent that says what to change and what must stay the same.

Evidence: Request: each learner types the four-line request on the worksheet and writes a guess for each of the four searches in the new version.

Check: Which line of the request keeps the page from losing something it already does? Keep searches working in any letter case. It names a behavior that must stay the same, and you can test it.

Common problems

• Cannot find the My request box? Click the Week 6 · Worksheet tab, then roll the mouse wheel toward you until you see Part 2.
• Made a typing mistake? Press Backspace to erase the letter before the blinking line.
• Not sure what to guess? Say it simply: found one, found two, or found nothing.

Part 3 · Microsoft Edge: Check the agent’s change

Goal 3 (practice only, not on the post-test): Find a change nobody asked for, and report it as a bug with steps, what you typed, what you expected and what happened.

Evidence: Bug report: each learner opens version 2, sees learning find 2 and LIBRARY find none, and writes a bug report with the steps, what they typed, what they expected and what happened.

Check: The agent added category search, and the page looks the same. What next? Test the old searches too, not only the new one. A page can look the same and behave differently. Run the old checks as well as the new one.

Common problems

• Cannot find the gold button? Click the Week 6 · Worksheet tab, then roll the mouse wheel toward you until you see Part 3.
• Opened version 1 by mistake? The tab name ends in version 2 (agent result) for the agent’s change. Click that tab, or click Open version 2 again.
• Not sure what to write in the report? Four short answers: what I did, what I typed, what I expected, what happened.

Part 4 · Microsoft Edge: Retest the repair

Goal 4 (practice only, not on the post-test): Retest a repair: run the new check and the checks that passed before.

Evidence: Retest: each learner opens version 3, reruns all four searches (1, 2, none, 1), tabs through the controls, zooms in, and fills in the My result page.

Check: The repaired page finds LIBRARY. What else do you test? The searches that already worked. Fixing one thing can break another, so run the old checks again too.

Common problems

• Cannot find the gold button? Click the Week 6 · Worksheet tab, then roll the mouse wheel toward you until you see Part 4.
• Pressed Enter on the first stop? It leaves this page. Click the Back arrow at the top left of Edge, then go on.
• The page stays big after you zoom? Press Ctrl and 0 to go back to the normal size.

End-of-class check

• your test table for version 1
• your bug report for version 2
• your My result page, every box filled in

Record Independent, With prompt or Needs practice for each. Re-show only the missing step.

My result page

• My test table: what version 1 showed for library, learning, zzz and LIBRARY
• My bug report: the steps, what I typed, what I expected, what happened
• My retest: what version 3 showed for each search, and what the keyboard and zoom checks showed
• One habit I will use when a program or an AI changes something for me

Collect the page, or read it on screen. Every box should hold the learner's own words.

Post-test

Learners open the post-test together, then work alone with no help on answers. Help only if the page stops working. After each learner submits, check that the page shows the sent message, and that the graded PDF is on the flash drive.
