Introduction
The students will acquire knowledge of the design and evaluation of user interfaces. They will learn to develop ideas from sketches to concrete designs with the help of prototyping techniques, and use the prototypes to get feedback from users. The students will also learn to look at theories about human-machine-interaction by employing simple quantitative methods.
Required preliminary courses
No requirements over and above the admission requirements.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:
Knowledge
The student
- knows what user-centred development entails
- has knowledge of individual differences between people
- has knowledge of what characterises user-friendliness
- is familiar with design principles
- can explain the specific terminology used in the field
- has knowledge of research on user interfaces, including theories, empirical data and hypothesis testing
Skills
The student is capable of
- performing needs analyses
- communicating design ideas with the help of sketches
- developing low-resolution prototypes, including organising information visually and using knowledge about cognition, such as people’s memory capacity and attention, to simplify user interfaces
- performing user tests
- measuring the user interfaces by designing simple experiments and applying statistical tools
General competence
The student
- is capable of developing user-friendly user interfaces
- is familiar with techniques used to evaluate interactive systems
- is capable of documenting and explaining design choices to clients and users
- is capable of interpreting simple research literature dealing with human-machine interaction
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures and practical work with prototyping, evaluations and product development. The students work individually and in groups (2-4 students).
Course requirements
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:
- A group presentation of a given topic.
Assessment
Exam form: Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:
- One individual assignment (1,000-1,600 words).
- Two group assignments (2-4 students). One of 1,600-3,000 words, and one of 1,000-2,000 words.
One overall grade is awarded for the portfolio. All parts of the portfolio must be awarded a grade E or better for a student to successfully pass the course.
The exam result can be appealed.
In the event of resit and rescheduled exams, another exam form may also be used or a new assignment given with a new deadline. If oral exams are used, the result cannot be appealed.

All.
Grading scale
Through practical training at a pharmacy, the students will gradually develop a basis for mastering the professional role of a pharmacist with a master’s degree ( provisorfarmasøyt). The period of practical training will allow the students to practise applying their knowledge and to acquire skills that can only be learnt through practice. They should be able to contribute to promoting health and quality of life for individuals and society by actively using their expertise on pharmaceuticals at an advanced level. Considerable emphasis is placed on communication in connection with focus on solving drug related problems, medication reviews and cooperation with other health personnel. Special attention will be devoted to communication with vulnerable patient groups and challenges relating to intercultural communication. The students will reflect on their own progress and future role as a pharmacist.
Examiners
