Program Transcript
JAKE LEVY: We'd be out on recon in our Humvees, and it
would get so hot. We
used to put our water bottles in wet socks and hang them right
outside the
window just so the water would cool off of a bit, and maybe
then you could drink
it.
Man, it was cramped in there. You'd be drenched, nowhere to
breathe. It's like
riding around in an oven. And you'd have your helmet on you,
100 pounds of
gear and ammo. I swear, sometimes I feel like it's still on me,
like it's all still
strapped on me.
FEMALE SPEAKER: How many tours did you do in Iraq?
JAKE LEVY: Three. After that last recon, I just-- There were
26 of us. Five
marines in the Humvee I was in. I remember I was wearing my
night vision
goggles. We passed through a village and everything was green,
like I was in a
dream or under water.
And then there was a flash, bright light just blinded me. There
was this explosion.
I can't-- I can't--
FEMALE SPEAKER: It's OK, Jake. Take it easy. I understand
this is difficult.
There's something I;d like to try with you. It's called exposure
therapy, and it's a
treatment that's used a lot with war veterans, especially those
struggling with
anxiety and PTSD.
JAKE LEVY: Exposure therapy?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Yes. It's to help someone like yourself to
confront your
feelings and anxieties about a traumatic situation that you've
experienced. It's a--
It's meant to help you get more control of your thoughts, to
make sense of what's
happened, and to not be so afraid of your memories.
JAKE LEVY: Put that in a bottle and I'll buy 10 cases of it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, one part of it is learning to control
your breathing. And
when you practice that, you can learn to manage your anxiety,
to get more
control of it, not let it control you, to protect yourself. Do you
want to try it?
JAKE LEVY: Right now?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Sure.
JAKE LEVY: Why not?

Levy Family Episode 3
FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. Well, I know this sounds crazy, but a
lot of people don't
breathe properly. And it really comes from bad habits. When
they inhale and
exhale, all the effort is here in their chest and shoulders. And
the problem with
that is you get a really short, shallow breath. And that really
increases the stress
and anxiety in your body.
Instead, a more natural breath should always involve your
diaphragm, right here
in your abdomen. When you breath in, your belly should
expand. And when you
breath out, your belly should fall. OK?
JAKE LEVY: OK.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So, let's practice. Close your eyes. Now, I
want you put one
hand on your abdomen and the other across your chest. Good.
Good. Now, I just
want you to take a few breaths, just like normal. What are you
feeling?
JAKE LEVY: I feel my chest moving up and down. But my
belly, nothing.
FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. So that's what I was just talking
about. That's OK. Let's
try this. I want you take a breath. And this time, I only want
you to allow your
abdomen to expend when you breathe in and to fall when you
breathe out.
OK, let's try it. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
You feeling better? More relaxed?
JAKE LEVY: Yes.
FEMALE SPEAKER: And the more you practice it the easier it
will become. So
when you find that stress and anxiety coming on, just do your
breathing. You can
keep yourself from getting swept by all those bad thoughts. OK?
JAKE LEVY: Yes. Thank you.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So, do you want to try to go back to what
you were telling
me about before?
JAKE LEVY: I can try. It was night. We were out on recon. It
was my third tour in
Iraq.

Individual Homework 2
Chapter 6 Reading
Save homework as a pdf and upload to the link provided on
Blackboard. Please be sure to
label your file as follows: “Last name First name Indiv HW
2.pdf”
Reading Comprehension (12 pts)
Read chapter 6. Answer the following questions:
1. List a set of metrics corresponding to the need that ‘a pen
write smoothly’. Provide a
minimum of 3 metrics. (4 points)
2. How might you establish precise and measurable
specifications for intangible needs
such as “the front suspension looks great”? (4 points)
3. Can poor performance relative to one specification always be
compensated for by high
performance on other specifications? If so, how can there ever
really be a “marginally
acceptable” value for a metric? (4 points)
Activity (20 pts)
Chose a product (not related to your group project opportunity),
such as camping tents that
you can collect benchmark information. It is the goal of this
exercise to find out which user
needs lead to the highest or lowest rankings in similar products.
This exercise will help
your team focus on the most important user needs.
1. Create an excel document to record your work. (Similar to
Exhibit 6-7)
2. Prepare a list of metrics (Step 1: Prepare the List of Metrics,
Chapter 6).
3. Collect competitive benchmark information from 2
competitive products on Amazon
that have a substantial number of reviews. (Step 2: Collect
competitive benchmark
information, Chapter 6)
4. Break down each review. For example, if a review for a tent
discusses how the poles
broke the first night and leaked in a rainstorm, make categories
for “reliable poles” &
“water resistance”.
5. For each mention of those categories, make a new entry,
recording whether the
mention was positive, neutral, or negative, and the overall
rating(# of stars) of the
review.
6. Continue scanning reviews for new categories or repeated
mentions of existing ones.
Look through at least 15 reviews for each product, with roughly
five 5-star reviews,
five 3-star reviews, and five 1-star reviews.
Analyze your data. Which features, when done well, lead to a
high ranking? Which
features, when negatively mentioned, lead to low ratings?
Create a numerical ranking of the
importance of each need.
Reflect. Are there items missing in your needs list which you
saw recurring in your
qualitative benchmarked products? Are there items in your user
needs list which were
never mentioned and you believe need to be removed?
Important! Save these reviews to pdf, along with the links. They
are raw data, and will be
included with your homework.

  • 124. Levy Family Episode 3 Levy Family Episode 3 Program Transcript JAKE LEVY: We'd be out on recon in our Humvees, and it would get so hot. We used to put our water bottles in wet socks and hang them right outside the window just so the water would cool off of a bit, and maybe then you could drink it. Man, it was cramped in there. You'd be drenched, nowhere to breathe. It's like riding around in an oven. And you'd have your helmet on you, 100 pounds of gear and ammo. I swear, sometimes I feel like it's still on me, like it's all still
  • 125. strapped on me. FEMALE SPEAKER: How many tours did you do in Iraq? JAKE LEVY: Three. After that last recon, I just-- There were 26 of us. Five marines in the Humvee I was in. I remember I was wearing my night vision goggles. We passed through a village and everything was green, like I was in a dream or under water. And then there was a flash, bright light just blinded me. There was this explosion. I can't-- I can't-- FEMALE SPEAKER: It's OK, Jake. Take it easy. I understand this is difficult. There's something I;d like to try with you. It's called exposure therapy, and it's a treatment that's used a lot with war veterans, especially those struggling with anxiety and PTSD. JAKE LEVY: Exposure therapy? FEMALE SPEAKER: Yes. It's to help someone like yourself to confront your feelings and anxieties about a traumatic situation that you've experienced. It's a-- It's meant to help you get more control of your thoughts, to make sense of what's happened, and to not be so afraid of your memories. JAKE LEVY: Put that in a bottle and I'll buy 10 cases of it.
  • 126. FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, one part of it is learning to control your breathing. And when you practice that, you can learn to manage your anxiety, to get more control of it, not let it control you, to protect yourself. Do you want to try it? JAKE LEVY: Right now? FEMALE SPEAKER: Sure. JAKE LEVY: Why not? ©2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 1
  • 127. Levy Family Episode 3 FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. Well, I know this sounds crazy, but a lot of people don't breathe properly. And it really comes from bad habits. When they inhale and exhale, all the effort is here in their chest and shoulders. And the problem with that is you get a really short, shallow breath. And that really increases the stress and anxiety in your body. Instead, a more natural breath should always involve your diaphragm, right here in your abdomen. When you breath in, your belly should expand. And when you breath out, your belly should fall. OK? JAKE LEVY: OK. FEMALE SPEAKER: So, let's practice. Close your eyes. Now, I want you put one hand on your abdomen and the other across your chest. Good. Good. Now, I just want you to take a few breaths, just like normal. What are you feeling? JAKE LEVY: I feel my chest moving up and down. But my belly, nothing. FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. So that's what I was just talking about. That's OK. Let's try this. I want you take a breath. And this time, I only want you to allow your
  • 128. abdomen to expend when you breathe in and to fall when you breathe out. OK, let's try it. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. You feeling better? More relaxed? JAKE LEVY: Yes. FEMALE SPEAKER: And the more you practice it the easier it will become. So when you find that stress and anxiety coming on, just do your breathing. You can keep yourself from getting swept by all those bad thoughts. OK? JAKE LEVY: Yes. Thank you. FEMALE SPEAKER: So, do you want to try to go back to what you were telling me about before? JAKE LEVY: I can try. It was night. We were out on recon. It was my third tour in Iraq. Levy Family Episode 3 Additional Content Attribution MUSIC: ©2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2

Please be sure to label your file as follows: “Last name First name Indiv HW 2.pdf” Reading Comprehension (12 pts) Read chapter 6. Answer the following questions: 1. List a set of metrics corresponding to the need that ‘a pen write smoothly’. Provide a minimum of 3 metrics. (4 points) 2. How might you establish precise and measurable specifications for intangible needs such as “the front suspension looks great”? (4 points) 3. Can poor performance relative to one specification always be
  • 130. compensated for by high performance on other specifications? If so, how can there ever really be a “marginally acceptable” value for a metric? (4 points) Activity (20 pts) Chose a product (not related to your group project opportunity), such as camping tents that you can collect benchmark information. It is the goal of this exercise to find out which user needs lead to the highest or lowest rankings in similar products. This exercise will help your team focus on the most important user needs. 1. Create an excel document to record your work. (Similar to Exhibit 6-7) 2. Prepare a list of metrics (Step 1: Prepare the List of Metrics, Chapter 6). 3. Collect competitive benchmark information from 2 competitive products on Amazon that have a substantial number of reviews. (Step 2: Collect competitive benchmark information, Chapter 6) 4. Break down each review. For example, if a review for a tent discusses how the poles broke the first night and leaked in a rainstorm, make categories for “reliable poles” & “water resistance”. 5. For each mention of those categories, make a new entry, recording whether the mention was positive, neutral, or negative, and the overall
  • 131. rating(# of stars) of the review. 6. Continue scanning reviews for new categories or repeated mentions of existing ones. Look through at least 15 reviews for each product, with roughly five 5-star reviews, five 3-star reviews, and five 1-star reviews. Analyze your data. Which features, when done well, lead to a high ranking? Which features, when negatively mentioned, lead to low ratings? Create a numerical ranking of the importance of each need. Reflect. Are there items missing in your needs list which you saw recurring in your qualitative benchmarked products? Are there items in your user needs list which were never mentioned and you believe need to be removed? Important! Save these reviews to pdf, along with the links. They are raw data, and will be included with your homework.
