Outcomes	On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to: Explain and discuss the key capabilities and limitations in human cognitive performance and relate this to the design of HCI systems Select appropriate HCI Design Methodologies and apply them in the solution of real world design problems Select appropriate methodologies for the evaluation of HCI systems. Implement these methodologies on real systems and analyse and discuss the results produced Demonstrate an understanding of the scope and importance of HCI systems across a range of application domains
Assessment	Sessional: 1.5 hr examination (80%), continuous assessment (20%) Supplementary (where allowed): examination (80%) with the continuous assessment mark carried forward (20%)
