Cal Poly SLO CSC 486-W18 Human-Computer Interaction Prof. Franz J. Kurfess
486-W18 Research Activity
In this part of the class work, your task is to find interesting concepts, methods, or applications related to HCI and your team project, and give a short presentation of about ten minutes to your classmates. This is an individual assignment, but you can coordinate topics and presentation dates with your teammates.
If possible, your research activity should be related to the topic of the team project. If necessary, discuss alternatives with me.
Your proposal must contain the following information:
The format of the proposal is the same as in my CSC/CPE 480 Artificial Intelligence class; see an example there for an “AI Nugget Proposal”.
The presentation should last about ten to fifteen minutes, and you can use Powerpoint slides or similar. Unless you’re talking about material that you developed completely on your own, you should include a bibliography at the end, with at least five references for sources you used (these can be the same as in your proposal). If you’re using material created by others, such as diagrams, photos or videos, you need to identify the source. There are several ways of doing this; I suggest to place a visible link in close vicinity of the item. Alternatives are links connected to the item, or a pointer to an entry in the bibliography.
The submission of the materials for this activity as well as the registration for a presentation date is done through the Piazza link for the 486-W18 Research Activity Spreadsheet. Enter your selected topic under an available date, and then submit the material by providing a link to the document in the respective column.
The grading of the assignment will be done in three different parts: Proposal, presentation, and documentation.
The distribution of points I intend to use for the evaluation of this assignment is as follows:
