Synopsis:

The course is designed as a series of lectures and workshops with a focus on the field of user research and research by design. In order to achieve high usability of the products/services/interactions they conceive, designers need to have a deep understanding of the needs and desires of the end-users the products are for. This class aims at giving students a foundation in user psychology and practical tools for user research. You will learn how to design a research plan, execute it and present it.

Lectures will be completed by a seminary work. Students will be assigned a design brief and will have to use research as a base for their design proposals. The outcome of the project will be a research report and a presentation
