About the Course

Start the UX Design Process: Empathize, Define, Ideate is the second course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you’ll complete the first phases of the design process for a project that you’ll be able to include in your portfolio. You will learn how to empathize with users and understand their pain points, define user needs using problem statements, and come up with lots of ideas for solutions to those user problems. 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. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Empathize with users to understand their needs and pain points. - Create empathy maps, personas, user stories, and user journey maps to understand user needs. - Develop problem statements to define user needs. - Generate ideas for possible solutions to user problems. - Conduct competitive audits. - Start designing a mobile app, a new project to include in your professional UX portfolio....

The course structure kept changing as I was completing the course and coursers did not record the grades of the exams and the assignments that I passed. I had to re take these quizzes. the experience with customer services at Coursera was no less that horrific. Although some of the updated coated could be deemed as useful it was not necessary for myself having previously come from a graphic design back ground.

I don't know how am I going to receive reviewed assignment? I am talking about the assignment on Two Personas. I reviewed 5 peers already. Is my assignment going to be reviewed by a professional teacher? Many people are asking to review their assignment on the discussion forum. Why is this? confuses me.

I am happy there is a UX certificate available, but there are issues with the grading and retention of my account's history with the assignments. It's been a frustrating time contacting tech support and just redoing assignments out of frustration and haste.

Was Okay but in my opinion should be shorter. At the middle it looks endless and also I believe some of the peers don't take serious and don't pay attention of details at the time they have to review an assigment.

It felt like you did not have enough time to practice each step properly but each concept did build off of each other quickly. I also think that a lot of the vocabulary they use is very interchangeable.

many information was supposed to be given (like made-up personas and user stories for us to use in our project). if there's a correct link to it (that works) it'll really help. thanks.

I felt that some of the work for the Coffeehouse example could have been better used to work on portfolio elements rather than a fake example. Some things also felt out of order

It was very exhausting, working on a nother project that is not yours and do all the activities, it was really awful, the content is good but all the requests are the worst

This part of the course seemed way to repetitive. It seemed like you were just trying to fill a course with busy work.

peer review holds you back is not good feedback I believe because everyone here is as "clueless" as you

I completed this course and submitted all assignments. I even received a congratulatory message saying I had completed it and it started me on the second phase of the Google UX design certificate. Then I saw that the course was still in my in-progress list. I reviewed it and received a message saying an assignment from the first week wasn't submitted. So I submitted it again. Now it's showing me that I'm on week two of a course that took me months to complete. There doesn't seem to be any way to contact anyone. This is extremely frustrating. Why am I even paying for this if there's nobody I can contact and I have nothing to show for months of work?

I have completed everything for this course to the fullest extent and is has not properly recorded it. I'm outraged honestly. it says i only have 45% of the course completed on the My Courses page, but when i go into the course it says i have completed everything and has the green checkmark. There is no customer support to call or even email to address this problem.

I was not able to continue this course because I cannot download Adobe XD on a chromebook. No where does it say that the course requires a laptop with windows or a macbook. I was not aware before hand that Adobe XD was a program that I could not use on chromebook. Very disappointing since this is a Google course that I cannot continue on a chromebook!
