A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

BIK-TUR User Interface Design Extent of teaching: 13KP+4KC
Instructor: Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18103 Credits: 4 Semester: L

Annotation:
Students have a basic overview of the methods for designing and testing common user interfaces. They have experience to solve the problems where software and other products do not communicate with the user optimally, since the needs and characteristics of users are not taken into account during product development. Students gain an overview of the methods that bring users into the development process to ensure optimal communication with a user.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Introduction into the area of user interfaces. Usability, user centered design. The position of UI design in software life cycle.
2. User research, ethical aspects, collaborative design. Personae. Context analysis, domain analysis, task analysis.
3. Methods of designing UI, formal description, models. Prototyping user interfaces (paper mock-up, software tools).
4. User interfaces evaluation: predictive and interpretive methods. Usability testing, including "discounted" versions.
5. Psychological aspects of UI design. Design guidelines. Navigation and classification.
6. Ergonomic aspects of UI design. Special user interfaces (for mobile environments, handicapped users, multimodal, and so on).

Seminar syllabus:
1. The impact of poor design. Project topics offered. Low fidelity/low tech prototyping. Team formation, project assignment. An analysis of example web interfaces. Project status presentation & discussion Prototyping (Denim, HTML, Flash, Visual Basic,...). Cognitive and heuristic walkthrough, inspection. Project status presentation & discussion
2. Metaphor construction. User perception, the use of color. Project status presentation & discussion Graphical design Project presentation Test Project hand-over, assessment
