Content is quite boring, but is useful to know
You're mostly going over how to design a proper interface and what goes into designing one, including the problem space, usability goals, UX goals, as well as interface styles and interaction types. It's important stuff to know, especially if you're doing the web design focus track, but man is it boring. Even the online lecture speaker sounded like they wanted to sleep, they talked at 1 dB the whole time
Probably one of the best in the SoC. Gave examples in class to explain concepts (since he essentially does this for his real job), went over each part of the individual project and answered any questions. He was quite lenient with exams and explained what to fix in each part of the individual project before the final submission. Really great professor
Don't wait until the last minute for any part of the individual project. It's quite tedious but at the end, it'll just be a Ctrl+C Ctrl+V fest for IP7. Pick an application you'd actually like to design, I found it boring but fun to do the project because of that
