Courses
The School Of Information Sciences has the following courses to
offer in the area of Human Computer Interaction :
| INFSCI-2060 : Statistics in
Information Science |
|
| Intermediate analytical course
in applied statistical methods: vector and matrix notation,
multiple correlation and regression, T and F distributions,
analysis of variance, planned comparisons and post hoc comparisons,
analysis of covariance, and nonparametric techniques. Utilizes
SPSS statistical programming package. |
| INFSCI-2100 : Research Design |
|
| Beginning research design with
emphasis on the basic process of inquiry. Identifying and articulating
research problems, determining and describing procedures for
conducting research, designing data collecting procedures, formulating
testable hypotheses, interpreting and drawing conclusions from
data analysis, and reporting research findings and implications. |
| INFSCI-2300 : Human Information
Processing |
|
| Introduction to research and
theory in human cognition, including perception, attention,
pattern recognition, memory, representation of knowledge, language,
problem solving, reasoning, and decision making, with implications
for user interface design. |
| INFSCI-2350 : Human Factors
in System Design |
|
| Introduces principles in analysis
of human performance in human-machine systems. Emphasis on principles
of human factors as applied to the design of information systems |
| INFSCI-2470 : Interactive System
Design |
|
| The environments that can or
should be provided for interactive use of computers. Necessary
hardware, software, and behavioral components of an interactive
system; data structure considerations for various types of interactive
applications; operating system fundamentals, functions, and
characteristics. Emphasis on interactive operating systems,
human/machine dialogues, interactive graphics, programming languages,
and application(s) design. |
| INFSCI 2650 Visual Languages |
|
| Definition and
classification of visual languages. Examples of visual programming
languages and languages for visual presentation of data. Principles
of visual language design and evaluation. |
| INFSCI-2780 : Interactive Graphics |
|
| Computer graphics, point plotting
techniques, line drawing display, clipping and windowing, display
lines, geometric models, picture structure, graphic input devices
and techniques, event handling, raster graphics, solid area
scan conversion, three-dimensional graphics, shading, and user-interface
design related to the associated behavioral factors in INFSCI
2032 and INFSCI 2035. |
| INFSCI-2781 : Advanced Interactive
Graphics |
|
| Advanced graphical techniques,
i.e., mathematical figure generation, animation, visualization,
perspectives and projections, and artificial reality. Development
of skills necessary to design and create computer graphics as
well as artistic and technical knowledge of what makes a good
graphic. |
