The Research Project

A major component of this course is the research project. Students work in teams, select a particular topic related to human-computer interaction and research that topic in detail. They write a research essay on the topic and present their findings to the class in two stages: a preliminary critique of their findings and a subsequent research analysis and proposal. Each stage involves a presentation.
