Prerequisites

This course requires students to have some introductory background in one of the following areas: design, programming, or cognitive psychology. The prerequisite exists because all students will need to make a significant contribution to their team's project in terms of its design, implementation, or evaluation. All students are expected to contribute in all areas of the project. That said, some may do more of the programming work, and others more of the design, prototyping, user testing work, or writing.

In addition, students are expected to bring a laptop to studio. This is a requirement because of the hands-on project and studio exercises we'll do in every studio session.
