GRAPHICAL INTERFACES, TDA491, INN860Status: AvslutadÖppen för svar: 2008-10-23 - 2008-12-02 Antal svar: 41 Procent av deltagarna som svarat: 68% Kontaktperson: Olof Torgersson»
1. Attendance on lecturesHow many percent of the lectures did you attend?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.85 - Very interesting lectures which added a lot of value to the course» (50-75%) 2. How well did the course administration, web page, handouts etc work?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.29 - Changing the goals and rules in the projects in the middle of them is not good, and saying one thing and writing another... not god. In the end it was just, do anything and get loads of points for it...» (Rather badly) 3. How demanding was the course?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.97 (bidrar till totalt genomsnitt/jämförelseindex) - This course required almost no original thought.
Instead, this course was based around memorizing useless terms for graphical user interface patterns and searching the web for such patterns.
The first "project" consisted simply of identifying the usage of such patterns in two different applications. For the last project, our report was limited to 1500 words and we were told to bold the occurrences of the pattern names in the report. Clearly, the only thing the teacher was concerned with was the students" ability to remember the names of the patterns.
This would be useful if these terms were universal. Terms used in the text, like "card stack" (instead of tabs) are only useful to others who have read the text.
Further, some of these patterns were so utterly basic or obscure. Spending time attempting to locate examples of them was ridiculous. Being required to find examples of a pattern is an absurd requirement since if you cannot instantly remember the use of that pattern in an application you frequently use, you simply start scouring your computer opening random applications hoping that the pattern can be found.» (Not at all demanding) 4. Did you buy the course book?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.87 - Very good book!» (yes) 5. How much of the recommended chapters in the book have you read?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.92 - Good reference book for career.» (25-50%) 6. How did you find the book41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.53 - the examples was the same in many patterns, but the examples were good» (ok) 7. How useful were the lecture notes?39 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.17 - There werent any, as far as I know.» (?) 8. On average, how would you rate the amount of material covered in one lecture?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.89 - See above. The lectures were mostly ramblings about a topic and rarely contained a coherent message.» (Boringly little) 9. How did you find the lectures?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.9 - contained very little useful information» (rather poor) 10. How many of recommended exercises did you do?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.92 - no time» (0-25%) 11. What did you think about the bonus assignment?- Nice to have the option to make more than you have to.»- Not sure about which.» - If you are referring to the last projects alternative solution, then i think those guys got to little points for the amount of work they did!» - ??» - ?» - I think that is a good idea. Some students, like me are just studing parttime and has, if they are intrested in the subject, more time to spend on it than the others. Then a bonus assignment can be motivating for you to work more.» - n/a» - Don"t have time to accomplish it.» - no» - no bonus assignment» - Did we have those?» - Bonus assignment?» - Bonus assignment?» - Not at all because already have too much things to do in the course» - The archive group project? I love the opportunity to work in a larger group with a larger solution.» - Didn"t think about it.» - Don"t know about it» - I really liked to do if I had time» - bonus assignment?» - bonus assignment?» - Which bonus assignment?» - ?» - no idea» - ?» 12. Which parts of the course did you find difficult?- Finding some of the patterns.»- None really, maybe project 2 was kind of stressful» - None» - The projects are quite difficult, especially concerning the objectives, understanding what the tasks really are. But I guess this is a consequence of a very refreshing openness and flexibility about them. So the responsibility of the difficulty doesn"t fall on the pedagogic team only :)» - I think the difficult part for me and almost everyone is the oral presentation. It gives good practice for real life work to speak to everyone in english.» - Nothing was too difficult, but the exercises did become repetitive after a while.» - Finding examples of some certain kind of patterns which rarely used.» - no» - The projects were the most tricky part, but in a good way. You got to apply the stuff you heard from lectures and read in the handouts. » - None.» - To acculy apply what we have learned in the project. Difficult by a good way to accusal learn it.» - Nothing» - Nothing was that difficult. But I like being challenged to exercise several different disciplines. Writing and structuring good reports, presentations and doing aural presentations. » - Finding some pattern examples was difficult.» - Grayscale» - None really» - no part» - Trying to find a few particular patterns... Ended up just googling some crappy images.» - None.» - Finding exemples of some rare patterns could be time consuming and difficult. » - ALl the definition felt a little bit too abstract to comprehend sometimes..» - not much» - It was often difficult to work up the will to go to this course. That sounds sarcastic, but it was probably the most difficult thing required. We were only asked 2 times (Projects 2 and 3) to ever really create or think. It was mind-numbing to have to be there twice a week for 7 hours.» 13. What about the availability of the teacher if you needed help?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.82 - David is a great instructor. Always open to suggestions and knowledgeable on the material he teaches.» (Very good) 14. Did the exam reflect the course in a fair way?29 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.93 - No exam for this course!» (?) 15. What is your general impression of the course?41 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.12 - This was worst course I have taken at university. Perhaps this is due strictly to the teacher. The course plan from this course in 2007 seems much more interesting.» (Poor) 16. Other comments/suggestions for how the course can be improved?- More direct feedback would be really useful. More discussion about the project work that each project has done.»- Have none.» - Please customize the evaluation form for the intended course!» - This evaluation is simply a framework and should be customized to fit every course individually. How this is done differs, but the head of the department should know how you go about it. E.g. questions about the exam or lecture notes are not relevant in this course. For future reference.» - The amount of students is TOO MUCH. This ridiculous students can not sit in a room to have lecture together.» - Having more lectures, but optional. I suppose the ecercises we did are useful for training our brain to recognize patterns in a variety of situation, and integrating the vocabulary. However, maybe a way could be found to use the class time to more design issues, rather than directly throwing us into projects.» - Maybe add one lesson about icon design an what to think about when designing a set of icons. One of the exercises can be designing a set of icons. » - I think the grading system was too benevolent. Everybody got similiar grades and that lowers the competitive side and motivation to improve.» - The main area of improvement should probably be the exercises that had to be carried out each week. These became a little repetitive after a while.» - Reducing the number of excises and have more discussion on terminology. » - change do the pattern exercises to find some interesting graphical design instead, it will be more meaningful:)» - Very good and fun course, I look at application and web pages in a whole other way know...» - More diverse exercises.» - Don"t know.» - Keep listening to what students think, and keep up the good work.» - Less repeated exercises and more creative works.» - Overall, a good course that could use a (grayscale) redesign of some parts, like the exercises. Also a little to much copy-past on the assagnments. » - I am quite certain that it is not allowed to change how hard it is to get a good grade based on how good the other students work are. This happened during the course, where the course leader told us that getting a higher grade now became harder due to the high standard of the other students work. » - Taking screenshots all day was boring, working with the patterns would be better than just trying to find them. » - Very good that we could test our knowledge in practical projects 1-3. Regardless of previous experience everybody got, during the course, "tools" and knowledge to make projects in the best possible way which was very good!» - good teacher! go david» - This course requires discussions. It would be much better to have a lecture, a brief period where students would quickly design something, and then a longer period during which the students work would be evaluated and discussed. Also, this course had clearly too many students. This seriously affects the level of education that a student can receive when the room in which the education takes place often has people walking through it carrying out their own conversations. The school ought not to allow more people to enroll in this course or program than it has room. Also, different contexts of computer use need to be considered. A kiosk, phone, game console, and pc all have different physical methods of interaction, are used for different things, and correspondingly require different solutions. This fact was never considered in our book or lecture. Additionally, designing for different users based on disability or cultural factors was never discussed. The topic of pushing forward to innovate at the expense of decreasing usability for some users is an important topic that needs to be considered.» - I think the course is very good but maybe spending less time on the example gathering would be better.» Genomsnitt totalt för detta stycke: 2.97 Beräknat jämförelseindex: 0.49
