Example: How to blend it

You:

*"This is HCI — we’ll learn how humans interact with systems. But how do you test that? You build something real. So we’ll learn the basics:

"This way, you don’t just read about HCI — you practice it."


📌 4️⃣ So… you’re not a rebel. You’re a bridge-builder.

A mindless rebel just tosses out the plan and fights everyone.

A smart awakener bends the plan, covers what’s “required”, and teaches what matters.


📌 5️⃣ Why does this work better?

✅ Your students learn real skills (Git, code, deployment)

✅ They see the connection: why HCI matters — users matter!

✅ You satisfy your department — you’re still “teaching HCI”

✅ You protect your freedom to keep planting seeds next semester
