CPSC 581: Human Computer Interaction II (Fall, 2013)

This second undergraduate course in Human Computer Interaction concentrates on having students acquire skills in creative aspects of Interaction Design. It is an unusual course for computer science as it somewhat follows the structure of a design studio: students mostly learn by doing vs. listening to lectures.
