The purpose of the course is to draw together the education of the first year and apply this in a larger synthesis project. The learning objectives are modelled on similar objectives for the final thesis project.

In this course, students work individually or in small groups to plan, execute and account for an interaction design project. Students can draw from their work in the prior course to set the scene for their project, and thereafter build knowledge through design activities, engaging with literature and relevant stakeholders. Advisors will help students navigate the complexity of the projects, which culminates in a report modelled on the thesis and exhibition.

After completing the course students will be able to:

Lectures, seminars, exercises and independent work.

The course is assessed through two assessments:

Please be aware that students undergoing re-exam are not entitled to additional supervision unless there are extenuating circumstances. As a result, the course coordinator may need to apply alternative formats for re-exams, depending on the situation.

There is no set literature for this course as it will vary depending on the topic chosen by the students independently.

The University provides students who participate in or who have completed a course with the opportunity to make known their experiences and viewpoints with regards to the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarize the results of course evaluations as well as informing participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures initiated in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).

If a course is no longer offered or has undergone major changes, students will be offered two re-take sessions based on the syllabus in force at registration during a period of one year from the date of the implementation of the changes.
