CSE 590h HCI/Interactive Systems Seminar (Winter '19)

This quarter we will read discuss papers from a variety of HCI subfields.

Each week will feature a paper from an HCI subfield and two people will be asigned as primary discussion leaders (responsible for selecting the paper, putting together a presentation on the paper, and sending out reminder emails about the current week's paper). 3-4 people will be assigned as secondary discussion leaders. Those 3-4 people should fully read the paper and be prepared to lead a discussion on the paper within a small group. The rest of the attendees are not expected to read the paper (unless they want to). Those registered should sign up as a secondary discussion leader ~once per quarter and as a primary discussion leader ~every other quarter. If not signed up as a primary discussion leader in a quarter, students should sign up as a secondary discussion leader twice. We will be using Google Docs to faciliate discussion. When you read the paper, place your comments directly on the text.

Organization

  • One paper will be selected each week by the primary discussion leaders.
  • A pair of students will give a presentation on the paper. This should include covering the entire paper (i.e., Motivation, Methods, Related Work, Evaluation) so that those who have not read the paper can contribute to a discussion. This may also include abbreviated background information (e.g. author names/affiliations, other useful context). The presentation should be interactive, and people should feel free to ask questions throughout. If the paper presentation takes the whole time, this is ok, however, we also want to encourage leaving time for small group discussions. At the end of the presentation, we will split into small groups with the discussion leaders who will then lead a discussion within their smaller group.
  • Discussion leaders should read the paper and leave their comments by Thursday at noon so that the discussion leaders can curate their comments before Friday.

Lunch will be served at noon. Presentations will begin at 12:15pm. We hope people come at noon and socialize a bit before the discussion.
