Content

Comprehensive project work focusing on interaction design. Introduction of different phases of interaction design process. Different interaction design techniques on graphical user interfaces and mobile and ubiquitous interaction. The project work entails the application of interaction design and UI prototyping methods.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

0: The performance is very incomplete or incorrect, or contains significant misunderstandings.
1-2: Performance is narrow, superficial, or poorly matched to assignment. The performance is limited to listing things in isolation, or dealing with things unilaterally. Execution may contain errors or ambiguities.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Performance corresponds to assignment, demonstrates understanding and the ability to analyze and justify. The whole picture has been formed, but there may be shortcomings.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The performance outlines a broad entity and the knowledge can be applied multidimensionally or placed in different contexts. Performance demonstrates independent grip and insight. Performance is an intact entity that includes justified self-thinking or critical reflection. The answer is well written or implemented.
