How to evaluate analyticlaly

Critique #1 This is small point, but I would edit the following sentence: "Claims analysis is a method where you define a collection of scenarios that a design is supposed to support and for each scenario, you generate a set of claims about how the design does and does not support the claims." Change "…does and does not support the claims" to "does and does not support the scenarios". I think that because "claim" was used twice to mean two different things in this sentence, it makes it a bit confusing.

Critique #2 Another small revision point, but heuristic evaluation was listed before walkthroughs in the initial paragraph, but then in "In this chapter, we'll discuss two of the most widely used methods: walkthroughs and heuristics." the order is switched. You also address walkthroughs first before heuristics, so keeping the order consistent would just add to clarity and reading smoothness.

Critique #3 I, as well as multiple other students, was quite confused as to what GenderMag actually was. I know that it has 4 personas, but I don't know if it's more than that? In the paragraph where you introduce GenderMag it would be great if it was explained a bit more, even if it's just "GenderMag is a set of four personas that were extensively researched." Also, why is it called GenderMag? Just a bit more information on that would be really helpful to a reader who is completely new to these ideas.
