Course Overview
This course covers both qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods for user interfaces and interactions. It will include both rapid evaluation techniques such as heuristic evaluations, paper prototyping, and wizard of oz evaluations, as well as more rigorous controlled studies. It will also teach both qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques including thematic analysis and statistical tests.
This course is part of Professional Certificate in User Interface and Interaction Design.

I am passionate about improving human experience when interacting with computers. I am interested in looking beyond the specificity of individual projects to discover the more fundamental research problems, and then to develop generalizable strategies to solve these problems. Looking beyond, I am interested in developing the next generation of interaction paradigms so that we can leverage the full range of human capabilities. I am also interested in combining HCI with AI to create intelligent user experiences.
