As a part of the productization summer school, we will arrange two "book exams" during the summer: Basics of Usability Evaluation (DTEK8043, 3 ECTS) and Quality Function Deployment (DTEK8016, 2 ECTS). The courses are open for everybody and do not require participation in the summer school.

The first course is supervised by Lecturer Kai K. Kimppa from the Turku School of Economics. Please see the homepage of the course ( https://moodle.utu.fi/course/view.php?id=3139 ) for more information. Due to the similar contents of Basics of Usability Evaluation and Käytettävyys jokapäiväisessä ympäristössämme (KOG281) it is not possible to include both courses in a student's degree.

The second course, Quality Function Deployment, is supervised by Henrik Lagercrantz, Sami Hyrynsalmi and Arho Suominen. Please see the homepage of the course ( https://moodle.utu.fi/course/view.php?id=3166 ) for more details. The deadline for the course work is the 30th of September.

The structure of both courses is similar: the course work is a short paper -- actually no exams are needed. Please see the homepages for further information.

If you have any questions about the book exams, please do not hesitate to contact Sami Hyrynsalmi (sthyry@utu.fi). If you have trouble finding the books, contact the course assistants. A few copies of the books are available at the local libraries. However, please note the libraries' exceptional opening hours during the summer. I have understood that also the subject associations of the department have a few copies of the course books.

With the best,
-Sami
