The constraints are defined by the client sponsoring the app, potential users and the platform (web) for implementation.<\/li>\n<li>You will demonstrate broad familiarity with theories, practices, challenges, and context of usability by designing and observing the evaluation of the user interface of your app.<\/li>\n<li>You will demonstrate proficiency with tools for\u00a0implementing an user interface by implementing your app using a web platform, source code repository, CSS platform, and possibly a JavaScript platform.<\/li>\n<li>You will demonstrate the ability to function on a multidisciplinary team by working on a team that includes your client, graduate students in the HCI Evaluation and Usability Testing course, and undergraduate Communication students in the Usability and Instruction Writing course.<\/li>\n<li>You will demonstrate the ability to communicate to a broad audience by presenting your designs to an audience that includes the client sponsoring the app, graduate students in the\u00a0HCI Evaluation and Usability Testing course, and undergraduate Communication students in the Usability and Instruction Writing course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0Perquisite<\/h3>\n<p>You should have experience in a windowing application programming interface, such as java swing, TK, QT etc.\u00a0\u00a0I will not extensively teach a windowing\u00a0API. You will also need experience working in groups.<\/p>\n<h3>Project<\/h3>\n<p>A major component of the course is the design project.\u00a0\u00a0This is a semester long team project requiring documents, class presentation, implementation, and helping with evaluations of yours and others project.\u00a0\u00a0You may choose your own project (with possible constraints).\u00a0\u00a0In any case you will write reports.<\/p>\n<h3>Implementation<\/h3>\n<p>You are to implement a significant portion of your design using any software tool that can be ran on an operating system available at school.\u00a0\u00a0I am more concerned with originality and effectiveness then quantity.\u00a0\u00a0You should be prepared to explain your code.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Class Participation<\/h3>\n<p>You must be present for the project presentations; absolutely no excuses.\u00a0\u00a0You must also come to lectures so that you can collaborate with graduate students and discuss topics. Class attendance will be recorded and you allowed 2 unexcused attendances at lectures. More than 2 unexcused attendance will result in grade reduction.<\/p>\n<h3>Course Grade<\/h3>\n<p>Your course grade will be determined by the performance of your project and course participation. Course participation includes working with your group, assisting other groups, assisting graduate students, and participating in lecture discussions. This is a group project \u00a0course, so I cannot give you percentage breakdown of the grading.<\/p>\n<h3>Academic Integrity<\/h3>\n<p>Under graduate students work in\u00a0teams on the project. They may discuss any aspect of the project with their team and \u00a0graduate students including coding the project, but the individual programming assignments are an individual effort. This way you will be assure that all team members have a basic knowledge of Groovy and Grails.<\/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.
