All HCDE graduate students are required to take a course on usability studies. In this course, students engage in product and user research, formulate an appropriate usability study, design and execute that study, and analyze and report on their findings.

How it works

• Deadline to submit projects: January 8, 2020
• Team size: 3-4 students
• Duration: 10 weeks (January - March)
• Student level: Master's
• Expected output: Report and presentation summarizing finding and recommendations
• Expected sponsor commitment: An introduction to the product, review of final report or presentation, and access to users or potential users and the product. A mid quarter check-in is often beneficial but not required. There is no cost to propose a usability studies project.
