Previous Reports

Selected reports from previous semesters are available here:

• SS 2023
• SS 2021
• SS 2020
• SS 2017
• SS 2010
• SS 2006
• SS 2002
• WS 2001/2002
• SS 2000

Do not copy these reports to use as templates for this year! They are not perfect examples of what I want you to do this semester.

In the past, some of the reports were written in German. Note that it was not possible to run thinking aloud tests in 2020, 2021, and 2022 due to COVID restrictions, so the practical reports from those years do not include examples of thinking aloud tests (extended versions of the heuristic evaluation were performed instead).
