2. Record a Studio (AKA Arc) or other video of yourself reviewing this product.  The review should be from the user’s perspective. Be sure to consider both the types of user capabilities and the product interaction.  In your review, be sure to address if the product appears to have considered universal design during its development. What led you to that conclusion? If the product does not appear to consider universal design, what could be changed to make it more accommodating? Be sure to show utensil reviewed on your video.  [L-Inst. MLO #5.4]
