Human-Computer Interaction 325 (231.325) 6 points / Semester 2 Handbook Description The official Handbook entry Incompatible Units: Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction 225 Unit Aims To develop an understanding of the user interface To introduce the framework for HCI To examine the technology available To examine the design, implementation and evaluation of interactive systems. Teaching Staff Coordinator Dr. Marion Cottingham, room 1.12 Lecturers Dr. Marion Cottingham, Dr. Cara MacNish Newsgroup hci325 Textbook Human-Computer Interaction (Third edition) Nov 2003. Alan Dix - Janet Finlay - Gregory Abowd - Russell Beale Prentice Hall (but now part of Pearson Education Australia) ISBN 0-13-046109-1 See UWA Library UPSL Contact Hours With regards to formal contact hours, you will be required to attend 26 hours of lectures and complete 12 hours of tutorials and laboratories. To complete the work in this unit you are expected to work out-of-hours. The lectures are well supported by tutorials (together with laboratory sessions booked for your use) work so that a minimum of one additional hour per tutorial or laboratory hour is a reasonable estimate.

The final deadline for notification of unsatisfactory progress is the last day of Week 10. Penalties The School of Computer Science and Software Engineering has adopted a policy on minimum penalties for late items of assessment. This is the default policy of all units unless indicated otherwise, in writing, by the specific unit coordinator. This policy shall apply to all items of continuous assessment, whether submitted either physically or electronically. Immediately after the submission deadline for an item of continuous assessment, a penalty of 20 percent will be applied PER DAY or PART THEREOF. The minimum mark possible for late submission is zero. The percentage is based on the item´s total contribution to the unit´s assessment. For example, a project contributing 40% to the unit´s assessment will incur a penalty of 8 marks for each day late until it is submitted or a mark of zero results. A more detailed description is given in this School´s Policy on Late Submission. The Faculty does have an appeals procedure, the details of which can found at the Policy for Appeals. All work submitted for assessment must be the individual student's own work. Plagiarism Plagiarism is broadly defined to be when any portion of the work presented for assessment, can be attributed to another party. The student making the submission should acknowledge what aspects of the presented work is not directly derived by them. For the purposes of plagiarism it is irrelevant that you have been given permission by someone to copy their work and present it as your own. You are directed to the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering Policy on Plagiarism and the Faculty of Engineering,Computing and Mathematics Policy on Plagiarism. Faculty Scaling Final assessment is subject to the Faculty Scaling Policy.     home > undergraduate > Human-Computer Interaction 325  > Human-Computer Interaction 325 Homepage    This information is correct as at 26-Jun-2005, but is subject to change from time to time.
