  5. Performance Assessment • 40% Four Phases Project • Assignment 1 - Videotaped Cooperative Interface Evaluation – 8% • Assignment 2 - Project Personas, Goals, and Task Analysis – 8% • Assignment 3 - Heuristic evaluation – 8% • Assignment 4 - Pilot Usability Study – 8% • Presentation and Demonstration – 8% • 20% Midterm test • 40% Final exam • To pass the course you need at least 50% of the Final Mohamad Eid

  6. Important Notes • The exams and projects reports are for evaluation purposes only and will not be returned to the students • Entire class is expected to attend the projects presentations, if you miss a presentation day a mark will be deducted • Beware of Plagiarism: copying and handing in for credit someone else's work Mohamad Eid

  8. ALSO in the Course • In the lab you will need user interface building software as you develop and test user interfaces • You can use whatever you want, but Java, XML, DHTML, FLASH are recommended • You may work on user interfaces for projects you are doing in other courses, but you will have to get permission of the other professor • As an exercise, you will be asked to evaluate the interface of a software product while you study somebody using it Mohamad Eid

  9. Don’t be Shy! Learning method %Retention What you read 10% What you hear 26% What you see 30% What you see and hear 50% What you SPEAK 70% J.E. Stice, Engineering Education, pp. 291-296, 1987 Mohamad Eid

  10. Four Phases Project • Please stick to deadlines! • The project is group work of exactly 2 students • Group members must share each phase of the work • Each member should learn the same things • Presentation • Presentations must be delivered by all team members, all available to handle questions • PowerPoint slides (recommended) or overhead transparencies Mohamad Eid

  11. Project Proposal • Each group hand in: • Names of group members • What you will evaluate • Who you will use as users • Whether you will use your own camera (and can do the work on your own time) or whether you will need to be scheduled in a lab time-slot, using University cameras • Your proposal for assignment 3 among the list given on the course web site • What type of software you will design I reserve the right to veto any proposals if I think it is not appropriate. • I will contact you by email if that is the case Mohamad Eid

  12. Projects Related Remarks • Do not forget to sign the Informed Consent Form • Available on the course web site • Project topics will be available next week • Implementation to be done in: • XML • DHTML • Macromedia Flash • OpenGl (C++/java) • In the tutorial and lab sessions, we will cover DHTML and Flash • Late submissions are NOT accepted Mohamad Eid
