Course Title : Human Computer Interaction

Course Code : COMP 20143

Course Credit : 3 UNITS / 5 HOURS (2 Units Lecture And 1 Unit Lab)

Pre-Requisite : none

Course Description : This course provides an introduction to and overview of the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). HCI is an interdisciplinary field that integrates theories and methodologies from computer science,
cognitive psychology, design, and many other areas. Course readings will span current theory and practice in interface specification, design and evaluation, as well as current and classic research papers in HCI.
Students will work on both individual and team projects to design, implement and evaluate computer interfaces.

Course Requirements Course Grading System

This course requires a significant amount of work outside of the classroom. A typical week will consist of: Grades will be based on the following:
1. Reading approximately 100 pages from the textbooks and research papers.
2. Working on an individual homework assignment, encompassing ethnographic studies, evaluation of existing Quizzes 20 %
interfaces, and programming or design exercises, and writing a report on the results.
3. Working on part of a team project and writing a progress report. Class Participation (including in-class presentations) 15 %
4. Describing and discussing homework results in class. Individual Homework 25%
In addition, at least once during the semester each student will present and critique a short research paper from the Team Project 40%
HCI literature in class, as well as participate in the presentation of their team project results both orally and in a final
written report. - 30% Project Grade
- 5% Self Evaluation
At least once during the semester, each student will give a 15 minute presentation of a short HCI research paper. - 5% Peer Evaluation
Student presentations should consist of: TOTAL 100%
1. a short description of the paper (everyone will have read it) (3 minutes);
2. demo (live software demo best, or video, or mockup of extension) (5 minutes);
3. a critique, covering some or all of (a) novelty, (b) usefulness/impact, (c) soundness of approach, (d) evaluation
(soundness of evaluation and significance of findings) (5 minutes);
4. one or two ideas regarding how the work could be extended (3 minutes)

The instructor will model a paper presentation during the first class meeting.
In lieu of exams, short quizzes will be given at the start of most class meetings.

longer be accepted, depending on the subject facilitator’s discretion. Assignments and exercises are designed to assist you in understanding the materials presented in class, and to prepare you for the exams.
2. Students are required to attend classes regularly, including possible make-up classes. The student will be held liable for all topics covered and assignments made during his/her absence. The university guidelines on attendance
and tardiness will be implemented. Every meeting, an attendance sheet will be passed around. Be sure to sign it.
3. Academic honesty should be practiced at all times. Any evidence of copying or cheating on any course work may result in a failing grade for all parties involved.
4. Students are advised to keep graded work until the semester has ended.
5. Contents of the syllabus are subject to modification with notification.
6. Cell phone, radio or other listening devices are not allowed to be used inside lecture and laboratory rooms to prevent any distractive interruption of the class activity.
7. No food, drinks, cigarettes, nor children are allowed inside the lecture and laboratory rooms.
8. Only officially enrolled students are allowed inside the lecture or laboratory room.
