CS374: Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction
Designing useful and usable user interfaces is much more than designing fancy and beautiful things. This
course introduces fundamental principles, techniques, and methods for designing, prototyping, and
evaluating user interfaces. Through this course, you’ll master the skills to design useful and usable
interfaces that are carefully catered to users’ needs.
This is a highly interactive class: you’ll be expected to actively participate in activities, projects,
assignments, design critiques, and discussions. There will be no lectures or exams. Major course
activities include:
-
Design Project: Following a user-centered design process, you’ll build an interactive
prototype through a semester-long team project.
-
Studios: Each week, you’ll share your team’s design progress in a studio session and
exchange peer feedback.
-
In-class Activities: Each class will feature activities that will help you experience
and practice the core concepts introduced in the course. You’ll also get a chance to design your
own activity that best captures the topic of a class.
-
Programming Assignments: In a series of web programming assignments, you’ll learn to
add interactivity to a web interface.
