Welcome to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lecture 1 with Dr. Gazihan Alankuş. This course emphasizes understanding user-centric design principles rather than heavy coding. Expect a mix of assignments, hands-on projects, and the use of various technologies for prototyping. Engage actively and feel free to reach out via email for inquiries. Key logistics include attendance, weekly readings, and the introduction of your first homework assignment. Ensure you refer to the syllabus and required reading materials for a successful semester.
