You may choose your own topic. You also assist the undergraduate projects by making formal evaluations of their design and at the end of the semester you will design, conduct and analyze a usability test on one of the undergraduate projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Class Participation<\/h3>\n<p>You must be present for the project presentations; absolutely no excuses.\u00a0\u00a0You must also attend class for discussions and collaborating with undergraduate groups.<\/p>\n<h3>Course Grade<\/h3>\n<p>Your course grade will be determined by your performance on the HCI topic, evaluations of the undergraduate projects and course participation. Participation includes assisting undergraduate groups and discussion during lectures. This is a graduate course, so I will not give you percentage breakdown of the grading.<\/p>\n<h3>Academic Integrity<\/h3>\n<p>Graduate students work with teams and may discuss any aspect of the project with their team and other graduate students, but writing the assignments or reports for the team is to be an individual effort.<\/p>\n<h3>Disabilities<\/h3>\n<p>Please let me know if you have a disability that requires special arrangements.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>References to University Policies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University policies on Academic Integrity, Assessment, Disabilities Services, Institutional Equity and Inclusions, Veteran\/Military, and Equal Opportunity, Discrimination, or Harassment Statement can be found at:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtu.edu\/ctl\/instructional-resources\/syllabus\/policies.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.mtu.edu\/ctl\/instructional-resources\/syllabus\/policies.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instructor Robert Pastel 204 Rekhi pastel\u00a0at mtu.edu Class Schedule Tuesday and Thursday at 11:05-12:20 in Fisher 129.
