About the Course

Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts is the fourth course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you will learn how to plan and conduct a usability study to gather feedback about designs. Then, you will modify your low-fidelity designs based on insights from your research. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Plan a UX research study, including the project background, research goals, research questions, Key Performance Indicators, methodology, participants, and script. - Explain the importance of respecting privacy and user data. - Conduct a moderated and unmoderated usability study. - Take notes during a usability study. - Create affinity diagrams to group and analyze data. - Synthesize observations from research and come up with insights. - Develop persuasive presentation skills to share research insights. - Modify low-fidelity designs based on research insights. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous three courses in the certificate program. Or, you need to have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions; as well as an ability to create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes on paper and in Figma....

One of the most useful courses for me. I have gathered soo much knowledge from this course. The work and assignments might seem a bit cumbersome, but trust me when you do those you will learn a lot.

The instruction for the assignments were less clear in this course. I wasn't always sure what needed to be included and how. For all of the graded assignments the instructions for how to submit on the first page were not correct for submitting on the 'my submission' page. I could tell I was not the only one having difficulty because the peer's I reviewed seemed to have the same trouble or had made the same mistakes I did. Also, since the work is peer reviewed if that person reviewing did not understand the assignment they often did not understand how to review my work.

You cannot create a PDF in Miro from Safari without upgrading. This seems to be an accessibility issue.

This course heavily relied on peer feedback for me to gain the most out of it. The theoretical parts were helpful during the assignments, but the instructor was very bland and often seemed disinterested. This isn't me blaming just the instructor. While the course could've used some quizzes in between to help me remember, the main issue would be the pacing. It's a hard task to take interviews needed for this course during COVID times.

But, on a positive note, I really admired how the templates and exemplars were used here and it helped me so much when I was in a spot of bother. This course can be improved though.

Some of the courses were interesting. but it was mostly Information I remember learning in the early years of high school. and the activities felt tedious at times. The parts about equity don't make much sense either. If I am making an app for mountain climbers attempting to climb Mt Everest I shouldn't make sure to include more transgender and female participants in my just because they were excluded from research in the past. 90% of climbers are male. I should therefore have a 90% male research group in order to get the most accurate information. Lessons like these can harm a company rather than help it.

1. The instructions imparted, at places do not match the version of FIGMA that we download. Many operations as suggested by instructures or course material coul not be done. IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

2. The evaluation process is faulty. Wtin in this course there are two instances where I was asked to resubmit - the grade instruction were wrong. I resubmitted the exact same file and test was cleared.

3. The comments provided are flimsy and not of much use.

Instructions were not clear enough and not enough resources for learning were offered. For example, I found conducting interviews remotely extremely difficult because we were not taught how to record user's screen movements remotely, and a better solution would have been to offer multiple extra sets of instructions for how to do remote recording.

The content is good but, differently from previous courses, this one is all scrambled and data mixed up in terms of activities and guidance to complete the presentations that are requested. It made me spend double the time I did with previous ones to complete the activities.

In the usability study,it is a little bit overwhelming that we have to list at least 3 insights to get the point, which is mean if somebody make a very logical app that bring user very good experience has to" make up" some story for the point...

The course was interesting, but the assignments were not quite clearly formulated, some of them did not have a full-fledged example, so it was difficult to figure out what exactly needed to be done.

Fantastic information, can't wait to build my app a bit more! Assignment instructions needs to be more clear and the timeline needs to be fine tuned for the time consuming amount of work required.

This so far is the slower path course. It took me a bit longer than the others. Sometimes I felt not going anywhere and repeting.

In general is a good course once part of the others

Please turn up the volume and teach as in Courses 1 and 2. Teach with fun and a smile on your face. This guy is teaching like he's being held hostage by Google.

Can be a little bit more detailed about certain methods, especially affinity diagramming and gleaming insights. Week 3-4 was a mess because of this.

Something are very tedious in the sense not explaining in depth such as tools like figma so I have to "google" how to do certain things overall
