Exercise 1: Same Word, Two Different Actions — Possible Solution ==================================================================== This violates the heuristic Consistency and Standards, which says users shouldn't have to wonder whether different words - or in this case, the same word used in two different contexts - actually mean the same thing. Using "Delete" for both a permanent, irreversible removal and a temporary, reversible hide means the exact same label carries two genuinely different real-world consequences depending on which screen a user happens to be on. A user who has learned, from one screen, that "Delete" is safe and reversible is likely to click the same-labeled button on the other screen expecting the same safe outcome - and instead permanently lose data. The label itself gives no signal that anything different is about to happen, which is exactly the kind of confusion this heuristic exists to catch. ANSWER: This violates Consistency and Standards - using the identical label "Delete" for two functionally different actions (permanent removal versus temporary hiding) means users can't reliably predict what a given action will actually do based on its label, risking a user permanently losing data while expecting the safe, reversible outcome they learned elsewhere in the product. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This correctly identifies Consistency and Standards as the specific violated heuristic and explains the real, concrete risk this inconsistency creates for a user, rather than only naming the heuristic without connecting it to the actual scenario.
