The final part of the course is a short multiple choice test on the theory of HCI, based of the material in the lecture notes.
A variety of sample tests are available, both with and without answers. The course notes change over time, each test corresponds to the course notes of that particular year.
Remember, to pass the course, you must achieve 50% or more of the total points for the course and also get at least two out of ten questions correct in the multiple choice test.
There will be one further opportunity to take the test. The results of the most recent test replace those of an earlier test.
The test lasts 15 minutes and consists of 10 questions, in English:
Each question has 4 answer choices.
For each choice, clearly mark whether that choice is correct (true, T) or incorrect (false, F).
Mark one or the other. Do not mark both, do not leave both empty.
If you make a mistake, clearly write the word “true” or “false” in the margin to the left of the boxes.
There may be zero, one, or multiple correct choices for each question.
For each question, you will either gain full points or zero points. To gain full points, you must correctly identify each choice as true or false (exact match).
A printed English-German (or English-other language) dictionary may be used. Otherwise, no books, lecture notes, or other materials are allowed.
No mobile phones, calculators, or any other electronic devices are allowed.
The test will be printed on an A4 sheet of paper (both sides) and you will need a pen or pencil.
You are not allowed to take photographs of the test sheet.
Please have your student id with you and place it on the desk in front of you.
Do not underestimate the difficulty of the multiple choice test. Any of the 4 choices for each question can be true or false and you have to get the exact combination (out of 16 possible combinations) to gain the points for the question (you either get full points or zero points). Just guessing will, on average, get you 0.625 questions out of ten. So, I strongly urge you to look at and study the material in the lecture notes before the test.
