4) Testing:
- UX testing
This subject is imparted using 4 different methodologies:
1. Theoretical classes: Presentation of the theory by the teacher and the student taking notes (Lecture) or with student participation.
2. Tutoring: Personalised work with a student or group, in the classroom or in a small space. This refers to tutoring as a teaching resource of "compulsory use" by the student to follow a learning programme (excluding "assistance" tutoring for doubts, guidance to the student, etc.). Normally tutoring is a complement to non-classroom work (negotiating/guiding independent work, monitoring and evaluating work, guiding extension, etc.).
3. Project-based learning: Development of the subject based on solving a project or various projects (in groups or individually) where the student discovers the concepts as they are necessary for the development of the project.
Project
In this part of the evaluation, students design and implement a group project in the form of an interactive installation. To do so, they put into practice the concepts provided in the master classes and progressively advance in the definition and construction of the final product.
Oral Presentations
Throughout the semester there are 2 checkpoints that will serve to evaluate the work of each team at important moments, in which each group will have to present the work they have been doing. Each of the presentations will be attended, apart from the professors, by a specialist in the topic being discussed.
Self-evaluation
In the same frequency as the previous evaluation system, one of the tasks to be performed is to evaluate each other. In this way, the teacher will be able to get an idea of how well the team is working together and the perceived workload within the team.
Class participation
This part of the grade consists of evaluating attendance at class work sessions.
Portfolio
It consists of the writing of an individual document in which the student shows the tasks carried out during the course. This document will be handed in at the end of the course and will summarize the project developed during the course.
Final evaluation
The final grade of the course will be given by the following formula:
Final_grade = 75% Project + 10% Presentations + 5% Self-evaluation + 5% Class_participation + 5% Portfolio
