The readings listed below are chapters from our
textbook, Human-Computer
Interaction, 2nd edition, by Dix, Finlay, Abowd
and Beale, Prentice Hall, 1998. As you can see, we will
be skipping around in terms of reading assignments, so
keep up and listen in class for any changes or
modifications. Also, a number of supplementary readings
will be passed out in class.
