R and RStudio are used as the statistics package for analyzing experimental data.
Why do you teach the course this way
The course was partly designed to fill a need in the recently revised undergraduate curriculum. The two core content
areas were experimental design and HCI. I put these together and produced a research oriented course to show how
experiments are done in HCI. It still has a feel of a course of two halves but the idea of considering a common
subject area helps and the reading seminars are intended to bind the two halves together by showing the students
how research methods lead to advances in HCI that can be used in design.
