How do we design interfaces for optimal efficiency and appeal? Before we can answer this question, we must first understand the goals, needs, and skills of the user. In this course, students consider these factors and learn methods for evaluating, designing, and improving human-computer interfaces. Students engage in exercises, discussions, and other assignments to explore a variety of topics, such as user-interface evaluation methods, requirements analysis, and user-interface design methodologies, including rapid prototyping and iteration.
