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....

This stage was very challenging and took a long time due to the interviews and data gathering from real world situations. Go calmly and everything will be ok.

I would say My only issue was trying to figure out if the activities were to be aimed at the coffee shop example or my sharpen project prompt that I chose

I enjoyed the content of this course. However, I wish that the host changed throughout the course. Having the same girl made it a bit boring at times.

It would have been helfpul if Module 1 was ordered differently so we did not flip back and forth between UX research and the portfolio project.

Helpful course. Very thorough and organized but I can't seem to be able to mark it down as completed in Coursera. I'm stuck at 99% completion.

Kinda' loving it so far. NOT as easy as I thought it would be, but also not unnecessarily difficult just for the sake of making it difficult.

I feel like there was a lot of focus on the user during this whole course and then it felt like a pretty abrupt shift to competitive audits.

over all but why I'm giving 4 star is the vocabulary of this and examples' not enough to explain improve much for under stable example

The course itself is good, but the fact we are graded by our peers makes it hard for us to know if we are indeed doing a good job.

Overall, I think this has been pretty good, so I won't complain about it too much. Some of the assignments are confusing, though.

Very theoretical course, explains the basics well, we will see the following how they evolve and combine theory with practice.

I think it would be better with a professional grading my tasks. I heard of people that cheated or that made the tasks poorly.

It makes me understand UX analytics! But a lot of theory and seems a bit hard to catch the mentor's speed while explaining.

The tools presented are very simple.

TI still miss understanding how to combine them. Some tools duplicate each other.
