The HCI Bootcamp is not a programming course. Instead, students work in groups of four (or three) to design, evaluate and redesign an interactive system in the form of a video prototype that meets the needs of real users, in a real setting.
All in-class and homework exercises are required to complete the final project, so class attendance and participation is essential.
Students will present the final video prototype to an external jury.
Grading:
Class participation and exercises = 35%
Video prototype #1 = 20%
Final project = 45%
