About the Course

Design a User Experience for Social Good and Prepare for Jobs is the seventh and final course in a program that will equip you with the skills you need to become an entry-level UX designer. In this course, you will design a dedicated mobile app and a responsive website focused on social good. You will showcase all that you’ve learned during the certificate program to complete the design process from beginning to end: empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing designs to get feedback. By the end of this course, you will have a new cross-platform design project to include in your professional UX portfolio. This course will also prepare you to land your first job as a UX designer. You’ll learn how to interview for entry-level UX design positions. You’ll get tips from Googlers based on their own interview experiences and their unique perspectives as hiring managers. And, you’ll polish the professional UX portfolio you’ve been building throughout the program so that it’s ready for job applications. 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: - Apply each step of the UX design process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test) to create designs focused on social good. - Identify the differences between dedicated mobile apps and responsive web apps. - Understand progressive enhancement and graceful degradation approaches for designing across devices. - Build wireframes, mockups, and low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes. - Add a new design project to your professional UX portfolio. - Create your portfolio of design work for job applications. - Join and participate in online UX communities. - Interview for an entry-level UX design job. - Determine if freelance design work is a good career fit for you. - Learn AI skills from Google experts to help complete UX design tasks. This course is suitable for beginner-level UX designers who have completed the previous six courses of the Google UX Design Certificate....

This course was very helpful/useful. It was good preparation in pursuit of working in the field. Knowing how to design for users is one thing. Knowing how to navigate todays hiring process is another.

Excellent course. This third project was tedious, but necessary in helping you to continue sharpening your design skills. The jobs section was particularly helpful as well - they gave a lot of gems. Pay attention during this section in particular.

A very impactful course because it educates a designer on the essence of putting him/herself out there, either to share their works and be discovered by recruiters or to offer a helping hand or piece of advice to those that are in need of them.

A great course for UX beginners! Worked on three hands-on projects throughout this course. The course structure is more towards UX rather than UI, so better equip yourself with some fundamental design knowledge before diving into this course.

I liked the pace, like that I could work on it when I needed to and I got a lot out of this one. The peer grading thing will always be a hurdle at times, but it's the nature of things really and isn't the worst thing to have to go through.

Excelente curso, cuesta tiempo y esfuerzo completarlo pero te da una gran satisfacción llegar a la meta. Además de la información acerca de cómo responder a entrevistas es súper útil. Me ayudó mucho en la última entrevista a la que asistí.

This course went beyond its scope to teach about interviews, portfolio creation and how to land a job etc. I highly recommend this course. Thanks to the expert Instructors, Google and Coursera for making it possible.

Essentially, this course gave me a better understanding of what I've learned throughout the course and wrapped all the information I've acquired for the last year, which is a great way of finishing any work!

Great job. Very accessible. A trick I used was a screen reader not because I am blind but because the reading was boring. I would add a screen reader function to the reading section to speed up completion.

Coursera has been pivotal in my professional development. Its courses emphasize profound conceptual comprehension and mastery, fostering a deeper understanding rather than mere skill acquisition.

Es muy bueno llegar a este punto y saber que se aprendio desde cero. Aúnque recomiendo que sigan aprendiendo de las plataformas de Figma y Adobe por que siempre estan en constante actualización.

Great course. Its just a litte uncertain for classmates ethics to be certain and not have any ill intentions. I hope that maybe we can implement for facetime or video confrence for more hands on.

the best course I've taken in my life. Even as an experienced designer (with 2 years) there was a lot to learn for fundamentals and best practices. Differently recommend for entry to mid-level.
