Usability Course
Mark Corner (Computer Science) is currently teaching a new course on usability (MW, 3:35-4:50, CmpSci 140). The focus will be on computer interfaces, but interfaces of many kinds will make their way onto the syllabus. Linguists are great at this stuff! Programming experience is not required.
CMPSCI 291U: Seminar - Usability
Professor: Mark Corner
MW 3:35-4:50 pm, CmpSci 140
In this course we examine the important problems in Usability, Human Computer Interaction, User Interfaces, and Human Centered Computing. We will examine elements of HCI history, understanding human capabilities, HCI design, several methods for prototyping user interfaces, and new applications and paradigms in human computer interaction. This is not a course in how to make dialog boxes, but rather a much more general approach to interacting with human beings and evaluating designs. Some elementary programming in Flash (or another user interface prototyping tool) may be required, but people without prior programming experience should feel right at home in this class. This is offered simultaneously at a 200-level and a 400-level. The 200-level course is available to any undergraduate student, not just computer scientists. IT-minor s tudents are especially encouraged to participate. The 400-level version, available only to junior and senior computer science majors, will require extra work and will be graded on a separate scale. Several group projects and exams will be required. No prerequisites. 3 credits.
