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!...

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.

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.

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.

Typos, so many typos. And several pop-up quizzes are broken. Might be better later on, but I don't have the patience.

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

Overall concepts and framework given, lacking hands on practice on building something with tools

A little too fundamental, although the instructor does point that out in the beginning.

Very repetitive content, provide only some abstract presentation of the technics used.

🤦♂️the wording on these quizzes, just adds to confusion. Stop trying to be tricky

Not practical at all, just about theoretical terms. In my opinion it is quite dull.

VERY basic concepts. You could learn a lot more from watching a few youtube videos.
