About the Course

The focus of this course is to introduce the learner to User Experience (UX) Design User Experience design is design that is user centered. The goal is to design artifacts that allow the users to meet their needs in the most effective efficient and satisfying manner. The course introduces the novice to a cycle of discovery and evaluation and a set of techniques that meet the user's needs. This course is geared toward the novice. It is for learners that have heard about "user experience" or "user interface" design but don't really know much about these disciplines. The course mantra is that “Design is a systematic and data driven process.” Design is systematic because it is based on a set of techniques and also on a cycle of discovery. In this course the learner is introduced to the four step user interface design cycle. Along the way learners are exposed to a set of techniques to gather information about a) what the user needs b)how to design and model interfaces based on these and then how to evaluate the design to ascertain that the user's goals are met. These techniques are tools that are used in a standardized manner and give us the data we use in our design. This means that anyone (regardless of their current training) that is willing to learn these techniques and follow the proposed cycle can be a UX designer!...

The best introduction classes, gives an overall idea about UI/UX. Grateful for the efforts taken by the Georgia Tech and Coursera. Looking forward to see more courses related to my career. Thank you.

In the steps of User Experience Design, I got how to go through all four stages; Requirements gathering, Alternative designs, Prototyping, and Evaluation to design and get a good product on the table.

It's a good course to get started with UX design as it just introduces you to different aspects within the field. The course however fails to go enough in depth to help someone get started within the field or feel confident about the same. There is no way to analyze your progress besides the quiz which in no way help while working in this field. The course also has a lot of reading material that helps understand topic much better than the tutor in the course.

The links were just listed on random pages with no information. Half of the links were missing. No one knew why we were directed to YouTube. There are typos everywhere. The questions and answers were skewed on some of the quizzes. We were constantly reading other people's papers and articles. We were directed to websites to buy user-designed products. We have to pay for the certificate for a free course. The only positive is that I did learn a lot.

El tema es muy interesante, entretenido y donde se puede aprender bastante. Pero, la presentadora es aburrida, lee todo el curso, monótona y no aporta nada, es lamantable. Este curso NO es de la experiencia del usuario ya que lo expuesto se puede aplicar en casi cualquier forma de hacer las cosas. No es un curso bueno, es un mal curso.

Gracias de todas maneras, siempre se puede aprender algo nuevo y rescatar cosas buenas de cada curso.

This course is almost entirely about how to talk to customers when looking at design which is how we end up with terrible interfaces in everything. Just because you implement what the customer says they like doesn't mean it is the optimal way to develop a UX. I was expecting at least some general concepts of what makes a good UX but it is basically just a general project management course with some UX specific terms thrown in.

This course was very informative theoreticallay. But this was contrasting to my expectations as there was nothing practical in this course. Although, I gained alot of knowledge but in my opinion, I am still lagging the skill require to implement this knowledge. For those who see this review, I strongly recommend not to take this course if you are looking to learn something practical. But if you are into theory, Take it.

I had no prior UX experience, this course was painfully slow and lacked content in the videos. I learned more from the reference reading material than I did the videos. The quirkiness of the lingo specific to UX is not explained well in this course. Despite being a beginner at UX, I learned very little directly from this class. I gave it two starts because at least I learned things from the reference materials.

The content was very helpful but the way the lecturer present them was honestly very bland. I feel like she was just reading the content out of a script rather than trying to convey or interact with the students in any sense.

I trusted that she tried her best at what she was doing as I can still sometimes see the enthusiasm in her teaching but other than that the course left a bad taste in my mouth.

Una buena y básica introducción al mundo de diseño de experiencia de usuario, me permitió repasar los conceptos vistos en mi carrera (diseño industrial) y ahora procederé a tomar un curso más completo y especializado con las bases frescas y correctas. La verdad es que es bastante aburrido pero al menos pude acabarlo rápidamente y repasar algunos conceptos.

le cours est proposé avec une traduction automatique de très mauvaise qualité. Les questions du quizz avec traduction sont trop souvent incompréhensibles en raison de problèmes de mise en page n'affichant pas l'intégralité des phrases et surtout de traductions farfelues modifiant le sens des phrases. Ce cours est surement intéressant pour les anglophones.

Hello, I passed the 2nd week of this course and started solving the test. it turned out that your test gives the correct answer randomly... Especially to confirm my words, I wrote down every time I took the test at the end of the 2nd week for the same answers, your test gives completely different answers. Please correct =(

This course seemed great at first, but the quality really dropped off after the first week. The mini progress questions disappeared. The transcript quality steadily dropped. More and more focus was placed on outside material. The quality and quantity of test questions by the end of the last section was frustratingly low.

Very average course... This course wasn't the best. Besides the poorly worded quiz questions, especially the Prototype and Evaluation quizes, there's way too much theory and not much practical learning. I going to have to take many more courses in order to learn UX/UI Design. Average course.

Very basic course. Lack of practical tasks and to much of external links - instead of covering material within the lessons - made this course too short and not very involving... I get that this is Introduction, but I was hoping for more 'in depth' approach.

The course is okay, but it seems really outdated. Thank you for this free course. It would be cool if you had some practical exercises. I also saw that design thinking wasn't included in this class - ideate, prototype, iterate, test, evaluate.

O curso tem um conteúdo ótimo, mas a tradução dificultou demais o aprendizado e o entendimento até dos enunciados das questões. Havia palavras repetidas, erros de concordância e até opções iguais ou sem uma resposta realmente certa.

For learning vocabulary and getting a quick, free start to understanding UX design I would say this course is good. However, all of the information is from over 10 years ago and it is just so dated and not as relevant in 2022.

I'm sure there's a lot of great info, but it's so hard to digest with the videos cutting off at werid times, and the quiz interfaces messing up constantly. It's just a pain to get through.

repetative, Questionnaire are too theoratic and unnecessary. I expected more information like practical exposure, case study, UI and UX trending tools & technologies

An introduction, no doubt. But almost no depth and surface level explanations. Even as a beginner I would have expected better structured quizzes and content.

Okay if looking to see what user experience is about, you will need to do more courses to get a more solid foundation as it isnt enough to give you that.

To give a glimpse and touch only the base is not enough. The course lacks exercises and more examples. I wish it would be much more practical.

The reader/speaker was not impressive. "Pop quiz" popups are not functional. A course overview printout would be a nice addition.

Doesn't work for me. I keep finding I'm falling asleep and unable to relate any of the material after a long day of work.

The course just gives an overall view of what User Experience, focuses on terminology and uses weak examples.
