Abstract

This paper presents the results and lessons learned from the course Topics in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with a focus on experimental research. The course provides students with hands-on experience in planning, executing, and analyzing both primary studies (such as controlled experiments) and secondary studies (such as systematic mapping studies) to develop essential research skills in the HCI field. The course included five undergraduate students, one external student, two postgraduate assistants, and one professor. Based on the analyzed results, the main difficulties encountered by students in completing the practical works (PWs) were identified, along with an assessment of their completeness and progression in each PW.
