Lectures and exercises will be integrated to provide direct hands-on experience with the methods presented during the lecture. There will be a reading list with material students should read for each lecture. The purpose of the exercises is to work with the statistical methods presented during the lectures, and they will present problems relevant for the field of HCI. The SPSS software will be used for the statistical analyses. The students are encouraged to work in groups, as discussion and exchange of ideas is an important part of the digestion of the material. There will be 4 mandatory assignments during the course: 1.A short written review (2 pages) of a scientific article followed by a peer review and a discussion seminar. 2.A report (5 pages) based on a small practical experiment performed on the first day of the course. 3.A report (5 pages) based on an HCI-related experiment presented as part of the course material. This experiment has to be planned and carried out mainly outside of scheduled course hours. 4.A report (8 pages) based on an HCI-related experiment proposed by the students. This experiment has to be planned and carried out mainly outside of scheduled course hours. There will be a peer review and a discussion seminar as part of the writing process. This final group report will also form the basis of the exam. The students are expected to work and write in groups, as discussion and exchange of ideas is an important part of the digestion of the material. Note that the peer reviews and discussion seminars are part of the assignment, and that participation therefore is mandatory. All assignments have to be approved before the student is accepted for the final exam. After it has been approved, the final report (assignment 4) is to be submitted to the Examination office before the deadline specified by the office. Workload: Expected 10 hours per week. ------------------ See the schedule here: link to the time table The schedule will be available shortly before the beginning of the term.
