CSE 590h HCI/Interactive Systems Seminar (Winter '17)

This quarter we will read and discuss recent best papers or best paper nominees from a variety of HCI subfields.

Each week will feature a different paper and two people will be asigned as discuession leads (responsible for selecting a paper and reminding everyone to read it). The Canvas board post for this quarter should post questions for discussion. Rather than responding to others' comments, please save those responses for our in-class discussion.

Organization

  • One paper from a selected subject will be assigned for reading for each week.
  • A pair of students will present an introduction about the subject and paper. In class they will lead a discussion about the paper. We will assign leaders at the first meeting. To stimulate diversity, each pair should not have the same academic advisor.
  • Other students are expected to submit a question and few comments in the Canvas discussion forum by Thursday at noon so that the discussion leaders can curate all the responses before the meeting on Friday.
  • You are encouraged to read others' comments and critiques before the seminar. However, do not reply primarily to those responses in the thread. Save your responses for discussing in the seminar so that we have high quality discussion.

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