The following is a preliminary schedule of the lectures and presentations for CS 3053 Human Computer Interaction for Fall 2009. Since this is the first time using this book and the tour dates have not been finalized, this schedule is very much subject to change and I will keep it updated throughout the semester. The project deadlines are in red and will not change, even if other parts of the schedule change.
