The following teaching methodologies are used in this course:

• Expository method: explanatory method where facts, concepts, principles and generalizations are defined and presented by the teacher and discussed with the class, followed by demonstrative examples;
• Experimental method: active method where the student develops knowledge through problem solving and project development, in group dynamics and individual and reflective work.

• Identify the importance of the user interface;
• Identify the main characteristics of the human being that influence the development of interfaces;
• Understand the concept of interaction design user-centered;
• Know and apply the principles of usability;
• Know and apply the principles of universal design/accessibility;
• Identify and apply interaction design standards;
• Know and use prototyping techniques;
• Know and use techniques for evaluating interfaces;
• Analyse and specify users’ requirements at interaction level;
• Design, implement and evaluate interfaces.

Periodic evaluation

• 3 practical tests - 60%
• 1 theoretical test - 25%
• 1 practical assignment - 15%

Evaluation by exam (normal, resit and other)

• 3 practical tests - 60%
• 1 theoretical exam - 25%
• 1 practical assignment - 15%

All assessment elements are mandatory and must achieve a minimum score of 40% of their total weight.

Grades will be carried over from one term to the next, provided that the minimum grade for the course component has been earned.

Practical tests must be taken during the regular term. If the minimum grade is not earned on a practical exam during the regular term, students may take one (and only one) practical test during the exam period.

These rules also apply to students with working-student status (and similar statuses).

If there are reasonable grounds to suspect academic dishonesty, detected during the grading of assessment components (tests, assignments, exams, etc.), students may be asked to give an oral presentation to clarify the facts.

Even if there are no suspicions of academic fraud, students may still be asked to give an oral presentation to clarify any questions that may arise.

These oral presentations will serve as a screening process.
