Course Description:
This course is an introduction to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), a discipline concerned with
the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with
the study of major phenomena surrounding them. The course considers the inherently multi- and
interdisciplinary nature of HCI and situates various HCI issues in the organizational and societal
contexts. It introduces theories of human psychology, principles of computer systems and user
interfaces designs, a methodology of developing effective HCI for information systems, and issues
involved in using technologies for different purposes. It is intended to give students an overview of
the entire HCI field by covering major aspects of it. Students will have an opportunity to explore
P a g e | 123

Course Description:
The widespread emergence of big data storage needs has driven the development and adoption of a
new class of non-relational databases commonly referred to as NoSQL databases. This course will
explore the origins of NoSQL databases and the characteristics that distinguish them from traditional
relational database management systems. Core concepts of NoSQL databases will be presented,
followed by an exploration of how different database technologies implement these core concepts.
We will take a closer look at 1-2 databases from each of the four main NoSQL data models (key-value,
column family, document, and graph), highlighting the business needs that drive the development and
use of each database. Finally, we will present criteria that decision makers should consider when
choosing between relational and non-relational databases and techniques for selecting the NoSQL
database that best addresses specific use cases.
P a g e | 144
Course Objectives:
The student should know and understand:
● The differences between a relational database and a non-relational (NoSQL) database
● How to choose a suitable database for an application
● How to program a number of NoSQL databases to store and retrieve data and perform
aggregation functions
● The concepts of replication, distribution, sharing, and resilience in a NoSQL database.
