CS 376 - Research Topics in Human-Computer Interaction Spring 2014

This course is a broad graduate-level introduction to HCI research. It begins with seminal work on interactive systems, and moves through current and future research in interaction techniques, and the design, prototyping, and evaluation of user interfaces.

This is a 4-unit course. For undergraduates, earning an A- or better in cs147 is a prerequisite. All graduate students are welcome. Graduate students with a unit cap may enroll for 3 units; the workload is the same. Students registered for the class will receive a letter grade — the "credit/no credit" option is not available.

Students in this course are encouraged to attend CS547, the HCI seminar; Fridays 12:50 - 2:05pm.
