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....

It was nice course describing how to conduct UX research and test early concepts. Some parts of it were jsut text heavy and would have worked better it was an interactive activity (team work).

This part of the course was a bit slow comparing to other, but neat explanation by Jason and other googlers made me hold tight and complete this course successfully. Thanks Coursera & Google for this.

This was the quickest course in the program. I enjoyed it.

Some of the examples left a lot to infer towards the end of the course. the examples could have been more complete.

One of the downloads was in the wrong place on an Activity, this led to confusion with grading.

An immersive simulation that will bring students into the real world of using UX design will offer more dept in educating newcomers like me. Of course it will be ideal to have a one-on-one instructor to guide you, but I recognise that's a stretch.

awesome course learned so much , specially if u want to work for an organization then this course is really good. The only drawback in the entire google ux course is that it is not reviewed by professionals or teachers but by your peers.

Research isn't my strong suit. It was a bit challenging especially when arranging remote UX testing. But you'll learn a lot. A suggestion on free to use UX testing tools would be most helpful as well and most you seem to have to pay for.

great course, only giving it 4stars because I struggled to get through some assignments because I did not have prior courses knowledge, so it was hard to get some assignments completed. None the less it was very fruitful. I enjoy It.

Interesting to understand others' perspectives of the design and how much insights usability interviews could bring in. Since this course doesn't have much direct support, sometimes its difficult to see if we are going in right track.

Although the course still provides relevant knowledge, the speaker's tone and energy make it hard for the listeners to concentrate. Many pieces of information have also been repeated, which seems redundant and absurd to repeat them.

I was very upset with the fact that people can write whatever in the disccusion activities. These people are showing ZERO commitment with the course and the activity. The course should be a little more demanding with this posts.

Fantastic course. This course helped me do away with the assumptions that I had as a designer. If you are doing the course correctly you will come to know that what you think and what the user thinks are enitrely different.

The course contains a lot of valuable information and it focuses exclusively on usability study, but I was somehow bored in comparison to the previous courses. Thanks a lot for the instructor and all the team.

The course broke down the UX Research process into simple steps allowing any beginner to be able to conduct UX Research. I loved how the mentor taught the course and explained the insights. Great work, Google.

Very exciting course. I would have liked a little more interaction with course participants. In usability tests, this could certainly help some students who receive little support from their environment.

I had some trouble finding the template for the last assignment, but I did finish the project, albeit a bit differently that the other examples I saw, but I actually really enjoyed this part

The reason for a 4 star is the non-credit part of this course. Does this course have any relevance or impact when applying for jobs or is it just preparing people for level 1 jobs in UX?

I had no idea what usability study was, and it was necessary, every term seemed new to me. But after taking this course I'm a little bit more closer to becoming a better UX designer.

Great on theory, but sometimes it is missing some practical help, like on the to make revisions on your design from the date you just gathered. Some examples would be great.

Amazing course, covers everything I love the projects. Only problem I faced was that I was stuck trying to conduct usability study as I felt I didn't get enough assistance

I have a psychology degree and this course was only a refresher for research concepts. Overall the course did a good job explaining simple research ideas and procedures.

Really great course, would be 5 stars if I could have done interviews and usability study through Coursera with my peers. Overall highly suggested, and great teachers

The course is hard and the instructions for the weekly challenge, especially the last one was very vague and lack of instructions made it hard to complete the course.

As a part of Google's UX certificate, get ready, the learning curve is steep on this one, don't give up, make sure you play with Figma and get used to it!

This course was helpful. Some of the information didn't match during the peer-graded reviews/submissions, which made it somewhat confusing.

I had a haed time testing real users. And I felt like I dont know if im doing things right... The affinity diagram was very hard to do.
