Final exam
Details
In a project in a team, an interactive artefact is created, scientific questions (also in the field of usability) are set up and examined with the corresponding methods. For example, online booking systems, technical devices and interfaces can be developed. The results will be presented to an audience of experts an a during the elaboration or presentation of the project and documented in an form of an scientific paper.

If there is a large number of participants, a written examination may also be used as a form of examination.
Minimum standard
The students show that they can apply basic aspects in the development of user interfaces. They are able to apply simple methods of interface evaluation and interpret them accordingly. They are able to reflect on their own approach and to document the results professionally.
You take into account the rules of good scientific practice.
