Abstract
The goal of the course was to teach students how to design and evaluate computer systems for ease of use by conducting human performance experiments, using analytic models and methods, and examining the research literature. This was accomplished through lectures, discussions, videotapes, demonstrations, guest lecturers, homework assignments, and projects. The link between research and design was particularly emphasized. In the postcourse evaluations, students gave the course a `very good' rating.Keywords
