COURSE DETAILS:

This seminar-based course will introduce the interdisciplinary field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Principles and methods in HCI can be used to better understand end users, solve a variety of problems in the design of technology, and invent novel forms of interaction. Focus will be on current trends in HCI research, design of interactive systems, and user-centered evaluation techniques. Students will work on a semester-long research project related to HCI. Classes will be held in the form of seminars, paper reading, and open discussions. Course material will be extracted from the current literature. Prerequisites: None

COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
