Human computer interaction is an academic field that understands the interaction between humans and information systems. Therefore,
it is necessary to understand human psychological and physiological aspects in order to understand HCI.
Students will learn how to design relationships between humans and information systems based on understanding of human behavior.
Students will learn how to design relationships between humans and information systems based on understanding of human behavior.
Students in this course will learn about the interaction between humans and information systems from an application point
of view.

- The mid-term and final examinations will be conducted by means of paper tests.
- Students who have been absent from the class five times or more will be considered to have withdrawn from the course, and their grade will not be evaluated.
The passing criteria (60%) include the ability to generally explain the fundamental concepts in HCI using specialized terminology and to generally explain the 'usability' of information systems using specialized terminology for given problems.
