<h2>Course Goals</h2> 
<p>The main focus of this course is on the application of well researched human
    computer interface principles to the design of internet based interfaces, to
    applications and information.</p> 
<p>It is expected that upon successful completion of the course, students will:</p> 
<ul> 
    <li>understand the importance of, and key concepts in, human interface design </li> 
    <li>know about interface components, web languages and tools, as well as some
        of the standards that govern internet design and design for accessibility </li> 
    <li>be able to design interfaces for internet based static and dynamic applications
        based on these principles using a number of web languages. </li> 
</ul> 
<hr />

<h2>Teaching Activities</h2> 
<h3>Lectures</h3> 
<p>There are two lecture streams each week:</p> 
<p style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; MARGIN-BOTTOM: -1em">Stream A </p> 
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -1em">Lecture 1 Monday 13:00-14:00 in 42-216 </p> 
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Lecture 2 Tuesday 10:00-12:00 in 63-348 </p> 
<p style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; MARGIN-BOTTOM: -1em">Stream B </p> 
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -1em">Lecture 1 Thursday 13:00-14:00 in 42-216 </p> 
<p>Lecture 2 Friday 10:00-12:00 in 24-S304 </p> 
<h3>Tutorials</h3> 
<p>The second hour of lecture 2 in each stream will be used as a question and
    answer forum in place of a formal tutorial. </p> 
<h3>Pracs</h3> 
<p>Students should use SI-Net to sign-up for and attend 2 weekly prac sessions
    (commencing in week 2). The pracs are used for working on the assignments, putting
    the materials from lectures into use on an ongoing basis.</p> 
<h3>Attendance</h3> 
<p>You are not <i>required</i> to attend any of the teaching sessions (except
    those in which an assessment activity is taking place), however, you are <i>strongly
    encouraged</i> to do so. The lectures, forums and pracs have been specifically
    designed to aid your learning of the course material. Failure to attend a session
    may result in you being disadvantaged. It is up to you to find out what happened
    at any class session that you miss.</p>

<h2>Assessment</h2> 
<p>COMP1501 will be assessed by three assignments and a final exam. Your final
    grade (on a 1 to 7 scale) will be determined by combining the marks from these
    assessment components. For each assessment item, reference is made to the specific
    learning objectives which the assessment item will address. </p> 
The three assignments are worth 5%, 35% and 15% of the course respectively. All
three assignments need to be submitted to pass the course.
<p>A three hour final examination worth 45% will be held during the final examination
    period. This exam will be closed-book and will contain multiple-choice, short-answer
    and essay questions. Programmable calculators and other computing or communication
    devices are NOT permitted. You will require a HB or 2B pencil and an eraser
    to complete the exam.</p> 
<h3>Determination of Final Grade</h3> 
<p>The final grade will be determined from the simple addition of 5% times the
    1st assignment, 35% times the second assignment, 15% times the third assignment
    and 45% times the result on the final exam.</p> 
<hr /> 
<h2>Assessment Policies</h2> 
<h3>Submission</h3> 
Assignment submission will be on-line.
<h3>Late Submission</h3> 
<p>Late submissions will only be available after discussion with either lecturer.</p> 
<h3>Notification of Availability of Feedback</h3> 
All feedback will be made available in full accordance with University Policy
(See HUPP 3.30.6 Student Access to Feedback on Assessment)
<p>It is a student's responsibility and right to incorporate feedback into their
    learning; making use of the assessment criteria that they are given; being aware
    of the rules, policies and other documents related to assessment; and providing
    teachers with feedback on their assessment practices. </p> 
<h3>Return of Assignments</h3> 
Assignments will be returned on-line.
<h3>Academic Merit, Plagiarism, Collusion and Other Misconduct</h3> 
<p>The School and the wider academic community in general takes academic integrity
    and respect for other persons and property very seriously. In particular, the
    following behaviour is unacceptable: </p> 
<ul> 
    <li>Submission of plagiarised work, i.e. work that contains content copied from
        an unacknowledged source. </li> 
    <li>Submission of work without academic merit, i.e. work that adds little or
        nothing to material available from reference sources such as textbooks, websites,
        etc., even where this is appropriately acknowledged. </li> 
    <li>Engaging in collusive behaviour, i.e. inappropriate working together with
        other students where individual work is required, or working with people outside
        your team where team work is required. </li> 
    <li>Copying work done by other students. </li> 
    <li>Failing to adhere to the School's regulations concerning behaviour in laboratories,
        in particular occupational health and safety regulations. </li> 
</ul> 
<p>Penalties for engaging in unacceptable behaviour can range from cash fines
    or loss of grades in a subject, through to expulsion from the University.<br /> 
    <br /> 
    You are required to read and understand the School Statement on Misconduct,
