CSE 566 · GEBZE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY
Human–Computer Interaction
Understand people, design interactive systems and evaluate how well they support real activity.
Start with people, tasks and context
Week 1 connects familiar controls and safety cases to usability, interaction styles and an iterative design process. Work through the printing-kiosk example to turn a design idea into a testable claim.
The course
Eleven lecture weeks build from human capabilities and user research to prototyping, evaluation, accessibility, visualization, AI and collaboration. Week 7 is the midterm, with no classes. Weeks 13–14 are reserved for student paper presentations.
