This document outlines the objectives and topics covered in a course on human-computer interface design taught by Dr. Mihaela Vorvoreanu. The course objectives are to explain interface design principles, apply user-centered design processes, evaluate designs, conduct usability studies, and identify research trends. Key topics covered include human perception, sight, hearing, touch, memory and attention in design. Students are asked to complete readings, set up a blog for journal article summaries, and comment on the instructor's blog with their blog link.
