Syllabus and Course Outline<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Interaction Design (CG 322) | Fashion Institute of Technology
\nCourse Outline + Syllabus |\u00a0Spring\u00a02016<\/p>\n

Course
\nEvery moment of every day, millions of people send emails, texts, connect with friends\u00a0on Facebook, buy products online, or listen to music on Spotify. They buy smart products that help them monitor their homes, tell them how many miles they\u2019ve run, let them send drawings to remote collaborators, play online bowling games with friends. All of these things are made possible by technology, but it\u2019s the interaction design that makes them usable, useful, and fun. This course explores the process of creating interactive experiences through the discipline called interaction design.<\/p>\n

Format
\nHalf\u00a0lecture, half lab.<\/p>\n

Assignments
\nAssignments\u00a0and related readings for the following week will be posted here on\u00a0tamara.ninja\/design-course. Several classes will also include group critiques and presentations.<\/p>\n

Activities
\nGroup Critiques are intended to give students experience with providing and receiving\u00a0criticism for their design work. Feedback received in group critiques should\u00a0inform\u00a0your design moving forward and should be incorporated into future iterations.<\/p>\n

Presentations
\nMany\u00a0classes will include some form of student presentation. Some days everyone will take a turn, while other days only a few. Interaction designers are expert communicators and must be well-versed in sharing ideas and backing up design decisions. Presentation practices will help tremendously with these.<\/p>\n

Attendance
\nLet me know in advance if you\u2019re going to miss class or be late.
\nMore than 1 unexcused absence will affect your grade
\n3\u00a0lates\u00a0= 1 unexcused absence<\/p>\n

Grading
\n20% = Class Participation
\n40% = Out of Class Assignments
\n40% = Final Project<\/p>\n

Everyone is expected to participate \u2014 in discussions, group exercises, or through vigorous individual exploration. Many times, exercises may be started in lab but may require extra work outside of class.<\/p>\n

If you are unsatisfied with your grade on an assignment, I will permit a redo where I will re-evaluate your new assignment with the possibility to earn a higher grade.<\/p>\n
