Course Syllabus

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

Instructor

Ronald E. Simamora, M.Sc

Course Objective

The objective of this course is to learn major Human-Computer Interaction techniques, such as

design methodology (e.g.: Principles and methodologies of design, wireframe, brainstorming,

etc), prototyping techniques (e.g.: low and high fidelity prototyping), ethnography-based user

studies (e.g.: contextual inquiry), usability testing techniques (usability test, heuristic evaluation)

and focus group. Students will have opportunities to apply those techniques to actual designactivities throughout this course. There will be group projects which apply to the HCI techniques

that students learn from this course.

Hence:

• Students must understand the definition of HCI and its design principles..

• Students must understand the basic knowledge of wireframe, contextual inquiry, affinity

diagram, usability test, focus group, user studies and evaluation for HCI.

• Students must be able to adopt, improve and apply the HCI techniques for their design

projects.

Method of Delivery

It is in class and collaborative learning. Class materials (power point) will be available in the

SCELE.

Technology Use

Several technologies used throughout the course are Flash, Photoshop, IE and so on. The design

projects expected in this course are partially working (i.e.: not fully working is fine). Students are

expected to know basic Microsoft programs.

Attendance

Attendance is mandatory. For every six absences, your grade will be lowered one step. If you

miss six classes and your grade is supposed to be A, you will receive an A- . However, if you

provide a medical letter for your absence or have urgent reasons for your absence, an exceptionwill be arranged.

B+ 81 – 85%

B 76 – 80%

B- 71 – 75%

C+ 66 – 70%

C 61 – 65%C- 57 – 60%

D < 57%

Readings

There will be readings that are related to this course to help students learn more in depth about

Human-Computer Interaction. Readings will be explained in class.

Group Projects

Throughout this course, there will be two group projects. Group members will be assigned by theinstructor and each project will have different members. If you pass the deadline, your grade will

be lowered by 5 points each day. No project will be accepted after two weeks of the deadline.

Criteria:

1. Contents

• How creative are your design projects?

• How insightful are your findings, approaches and ideas?

• How well do you apply HCI methods in your projects?

2. Work Activities

• How much research and design works do you put yourself in the projects?

• How well do you work collectively with your group members?

(There will be a team evaluation submitted at the end of each group project.)

3. Presentation

• How well do you present your projects?

Assignments

There will be six individual assignments but the lowest grade of your assignments will be

dropped (i.e.: there are five graded assignments in total). Students are expected to work by



themselves. Plagiarism is exceptionally prohibited and there will be a harsh penalty for those whocommit this academic misconduct.

Midterm

Midterm exam will cover materials from the first day of class to mid-semester.

Final

Final exam will be cumulative which covers materials from the first day to the end of class. To

help students, there will be a review session for this final exam.

Extra Credits

To help you boost your grades, extra credits will be provided. Depending on class materials, there

will be extra work for you.

Textbook

Textbook is not required in this course. However, students need to read articles or journals about

Human-Computer Interaction.
