Four of them. Each carries something you could not work out at the machine, and the studio two days later applies it.
This course has four lectures.
That is a decision, not an oversight. Most of what this subject teaches is learned by building the same interface badly and then less badly, and a lecture cannot do that. So the four that remain each carry something you could not arrive at on your own at a keyboard: a vocabulary, a distinction, a standard, or a limit on what your evidence can support.
Each runs Tuesdays, 11:00–12:00, and the studio two days later applies it. The other eight weeks open with a short framing in the studio instead — named on each week’s page, with the reading that goes with it.
| Week | Lecture | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | What 99% Promises | claim, source event, verdict — the move used every week after |
| 4 | Saying Nothing, Precisely | the three honest registers when there is no denominator |
| 7 | Reading an Interface Without Looking at It | status as text and semantics; the standard Assignment 2 is marked against |
| 11 | Three People Is Not a Study | what a handful of observations can and cannot establish |
Week 1 carries the deck.
What 99% Promises
The one analytic move this course runs for twelve weeks — claim, source event, verdict — and why a local simulator is an instrument rather than a convenience.
Week 1 · 23 February 2027
Saying Nothing, Precisely
The difference between not knowing how long and having nothing to say, and the three honest registers available when there is no denominator.
Week 4 · 16 March 2027
Reading an Interface Without Looking at It
Status as text and semantics rather than as picture — ARIA values when there is no value, live regions that do not flood, and what reduced motion reveals about what your animation was carrying.
Week 7 · 20 April 2027
Three People Is Not a Study
What a handful of observations can establish, what it cannot, and why "the evidence does not support a change" is a finding rather than a failure.
