Course 4, focused on creating UX research and testing early concepts, has been a rewarding experience. Building on the skills developed in Course 3, where I crafted lo-fi prototypes and wireframes, this course delves into the intriguing realm of conducting research on these prototypes. Exploring how users interact with my designs and assessing their usability has proven to be a fascinating journey. Engaging with participants, identifying pain points, acknowledging mistakes, and transforming them into valuable insights through presentations has been a cool and enlightening process. Sharing these findings with stakeholders, the team, and clients adds a layer of satisfaction. As I move on to the next course, I am determined to carry forward the lessons from past frustrations, ensuring that the designs I create are tailored to meet users' needs. The prospect of crafting high-fidelity designs in the upcoming course has me genuinely excited. Throughout Course 4, the joy of researching and refining my understanding of user experiences has been a constant source of enjoyment.

Completed hashtag#Conduct Ux Research and Test Early Concepts Certificates from Google Here I understand how to hashtag#Plan, hashtag#Research, hashtag#Synthesize hashtag#analyze, and hashtag#organize the data, and how to present them to stakeholders and our teammates by giving a hashtag#presentation. Here you understand how to plan, how to do hashtag#usability testing, and while testing how will you understand your hashtag#potential user and its behavior while using this particular app or website? This course will help you how UX researchers have key work also you will know what a is moderator (also called hashtag#facilitator) (what typical moderators do while doing research) and what will happen when an unmoderator usability testing happens. In a research study you will know some do's and don't related to moderators you know why moderators is important during the initial stage of your app design. The hashtag#affinity mapping is the best way to find different aspects of each designer 💖

Throughout this course, I found the most interesting aspect to be the variety of UX research methods available, particularly the usability study. Learning how to conduct these studies, gather user feedback, and translate insights into actionable design changes was enlightening. However, the most challenging part was analyzing the data collected. It can be overwhelming to sift through user comments and behaviors to identify meaningful patterns. Balancing quantitative data with qualitative insights requires a nuanced approach that I've had to refine over time. Overall, the course has greatly enhanced my understanding of user-centered design.

This course did a wonderful job of demonstrating how important user research can be to a UX designers product. I learned so much about the prototypes, lo fidelity designs, and usability studies. The instructor was easy to follow along with a did an excellent job stressing the importance of user feedback in order to gain insight and fine tune the middle stages of product design. Getting to use figma and other digital software for our projects gives me the confidence I need to easily build upon my portfolio project and see my initial sketches and brainstorm ideas become closer to an actual product that would benefit people's lives.

This course really broke down the process of building a research plan, conducting a usability study, analyzing the data collected through research to inform improvements needed to your design, and how to create a thorough presentation to share insights and improvements with others. The instructor for this course was great! I really enjoyed the tone and demonstrated understanding of the content presented by the instructor. Though the content of this course and work needing to be completed took some extra time to get through, I believe it was beneficial and helped produce quality work in the end. Great course!

I have learned to create a research plan that allows me to prepare an earlier usability study for the project that I have created while objectively collecting valuable feedback directly from the user and moreover to provide accurate insights to enhance my project. And finally, learned how to prepare overall insights based on the research and collect feedback from the participants, and present it to the team or related stakeholders. I am grateful that I took this course and as promised that I will continue the rest of the courses.

Conducting UX research and testing early concepts is crucial for successful design. Through research, designers gain insights into user needs, behaviors, and preferences. Testing early concepts validates design assumptions and uncovers usability issues. This user-centered approach ensures that the final product meets user expectations and reduces the risk of bias. By investing in these activities, designers create better user experiences, increase customer satisfaction, and deliver successful products.

Doing user research seemed kind of scary at first, but the course sets you up with templates and tips and stuff that are really helpful. So far, the courses in the program are good at filling in all the gaps I had trying to learn UX on my own. Like going from research back to designing. I had a general idea for how to do some design updates after researching, but I was happy to see that the course lays out exactly what to do and how to do it. I feel like I am turning into a real UX designer!

I really enjoyed this part of the UX, I did! Although it was challenging at times - to find the courage to share my crappy lo-fi app design with people I know but hearing their feedback really high-lighted the issues that I had overseen. It turns out that when you're creating an app from scratch, t comes harder than I'd imagined! People's opinions help so much and rather than taking that all in as a critique and taking things personally, it also teaches to listen and understand!

"If you are not willing to commit to achieving your set goals, don't discuss it with Coursera". I had lots of personal challenges while taking this course but the constant support and encouragement from the Coursera team, energized me to overcome all odds. Today, I am one set closer to my dream of becoming a professional UX Researcher. The course materials are supper engaging, thought provoking and easy to follow. I am recommending this course to you reading my testimony today.

It was brilliant, I learned so much! I loved conducting a usability study and gained so many valuable insights. I liked how easily everything was laid out. The instructor of the course spoke clearly and their accent was easy to understand, which I appreciate a lot. The week 4 peer review assignment did not have a proper exemplar which made it difficult I think - because a lot of people got it wrong while I was reviewing - so this could be improved. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

Great course. I have really learned a lot, and the assignments helped me to apply all concepts that I have learned here. I would like to sincerely thank my instructor for this great learning experience. I have one comment here. Sometimes, I am not able to meet the weekly deadlines, as, I take it a little slowly, to get a better grasp of the concepts and try to do well in my assignments. Once again, thank you so much, and I am looking forward to the other courses.

in this course I learned steps, research methods and how to make presentations for stakeholders. the way of lectures and lecturer is very good. they pay attention to every point even its very small or seems nonimportant from my perspective but when I study and try to do my assignments I recognized that why a small nonimportant point can have an effect on your project.
I learned lots of things from this course and sure I'll learn a lot from next courses.

I found this course to be instructional, fun and successful in teaching us how to write an initial Research Study plan, creating an affinity diagram, learning how to take notes and adding them to a spreadsheet for clarity and synthesizing, defining themes and insights and creating a Research presentation, while learning to present the said presentation and then updating it with our research findings. Looking forward to starting course 5!

I came into the research and testing portion of this certificate course a little wary because I knew it wouldn't be my favorite part of this process. The course made it so easy and a lot less daunting than I could have ever expected!! It was honestly my favorite one so far, I loved putting together the presentation and by utilizing the slide notes I feel like I got myself to really understand what I was doing and why. Thanks so much!

Whilst the start of the course took a bit of getting into - coming from such an interactive and creative previous course, I am so glad I stuck with it.
The material covered is incredibly valuable - and really highlights the importance of testing and getting feedback from users.
The assignments weren't easy - and really reflects the effort you put into the usability study. A poor study will make the follow-on assignments a LOT harder.

This course was facilitated in an excellent way. I learnt all the important steps of planning and conducting a research study, conducting a usability study, using affinity diagram, deriving insights and most importantly how to present insights and recommendations effectively to a design team and how to present it flawlessly.

This was one of the most incredible classes Ive ever taken. I just so happen to be in a huge department meeting today on updating the user experience completely at the organization I work for, and they had HUGE teams working on making the things we literally just made - and this process was more seamless than the one they were paying contractors to come in and implement. Just incredible knowledge.
