TDDD03 Industrial Engineering and Systems Usability Issues

Examination


The course has the following examination items:

  1. Participation in seminars (Fail/Pass) = 1,5 ECTS
  2. Realization of group project (Fail/Pass) = 3 ECTS
  3. Take-home examination (Fail/3/4/5) = 1,5 ECTS

The take-home examination is an individual, graded examination (F/3/4/5). Your final grade will be based on the take-home exam. However, by handing in individual essays throughout the group project, a student can earn a total of 30 points that are added to the result of the take-home exam. The home exam will have the following grade levels:

  • Failed = < 50 points
  • Grade 3 = 50 - 69 points
  • Grade 4 = 70 - 89 points
  • Grade 5 = > 89 points

The take-home exam will consist of three assignments that approximately should take one day each to solve. The three assignments will correspond to the three steps of the project. Your response to the assignment will be awarded 30 points if it is solved correctly and with a high degree of insight. It will be awarded 20 points if it is largely correct, but has smaller deficiencies, and it will, finally, be rewarded 15 points if the response is partly correct and complete.

This means that a student that does all individual assignments from the project as well as all assignments in the take-home exam can at most achieve a total of 120 points.

More details on the seminars and project are found on the project page, seminar page, and the schedule is found in the timetable. The literature for the take-home examination is the same as for the project, but this book can also be used for reference (electronically available through the university library):

  • Cost Justifying Usability: An update for the Internet Age. Randolph G. Bias and Deborah J. Mayhew, Elsevier, Second Edition (2005).

The take-home exam will be issued to the course email list on the 27th of February at 15:00. Deadline for the delivery of the completed take-home exam is 16th of march at midnight. The take-home exam is an individual exam.

The take-home exam document should be sent to matar63.liu at analys.urkund.se to be checked for plagiarism.

Questions during the take-home exam period should be directed to jenny.k.johansson at liu.se or mattias.arvola at liu.se and will be answered during office hours. Expect 24 hours of delay before you get an answer.
