This was an insightful and relatively easy class, and the professor was very nice and receptive to feedback. His lectures were interesting and included a lot of interaction with the audience, so they were never too boring. The group project is the bulk of the work in the class, and the deadlines were generally fairly set to space out the stages of design work you need to do. I don't remember the feedback from the professor or TA being insanely helpful, but they were always available during class work sessions to answer any specific questions you had. When I took the class, there was one midterm exam, but it was open book and pretty easy since most of the questions came directly from the textbook. There were reading homeworks that included a few simple questions to answer about the readings, so if you did them, you would recognize on the exam which sections to look for, and even if you didn't remember the readings, it was simple to search the textbook and find the answers you needed. The readings were never too hard and talked a lot about the details of the human-centered design process, and the lectures were good at reinforcing the reading material and introducing real world applications/examples. Also the professor goes by Scott Gilkeson, so you will probably find more information about him by searching that name. |
