HC1 is a 20 point course, running in the second semester. It is
offered by the School of Informatics, in association with the Human
Communication Research Centre (HCRC). The first lecture will take
place at 15:00, on Monday 10th January, 2010 in Room FRN, David Hume
Tower.
This course is designed to introduce and provide examples of current
problems, research issues and methods employed in understanding human
communication. A set of communication phenomena (e.g. humour,
ambiguity, non-verbal communication, tutorial dialogue) will be
introduced and considered through a variety of methods, including
participant observation, psychological experiments, introduction to
corpus analysis, grammatical description and logical analysis. Examples
and learning material used for this course will come from topical
research.
There are no prerequisites for this course. In particular, although electronic mail and the internet will be used, no prior experience of using computers will be assumed, and necessary training will be given to those who need it.
