Before taking the course I wasn't aware that how research is conducted and why it is important. This course has helped me a lot by giving such detailed knowledge and instructor also had very humble attitude.

This specialized course taught me to never make decisions for products instead of the audience and users and to always put the user first. Thank you to Google and Coursera for holding this excellent course.

A bit daunting at first but when I got into the whole process of doing the exercises (including the optional ones), it got easier and more interesting when I understood what was required of me.
