the course is quite comprehensive, but the first two courses mainly focus on what design is, not on how to design. starting with a project would be more affective and the course would be less boring.

It's been a great start, however creating a portfolio doesn't seem quite feasible within this time frame. I will now enroll in webflow university to better understand and get started on the portfolio.

This course was extremely helpful in providing all the practical knowledge to establish me in the job market. Very precise and to the point. Loved the experience with the ability to download the course material for later reference Also the notes and the questionnaires were designed in a way to help me gain knowledge and not only assess me. That was very helpful. Looking forward to learning more in upcoming courses.

As an Experienced Architect, who has gone through several layers of design master classes and research and having gone through this couse too. I am fully recommending it to any one who is interested to learn the basics of UX designs.
Simply put you get a detailed overview of things it took me years to gather in the design school just in a course. For me it was highly refreshing and i learnt alot of new things too.

I found this course easy to navigate and the prompts to be useful at the correct times! I thoroughly enjoyed the range of teaching in the video such as readings, videos, activities, etc - this kept things interesting for people like myself that likes engagment and variety. I could take this course at my own pace, and you could very easily pick up at wherever you had last left things. 5/5 - wouldn't change a thing.

This course was very good! I have learned how to choose between three design processes: The five elements of UX Design, Design Thinking and Design Sprint. In addition, I became updated with the last UX roles, because they changed across the years. The most difficult thing to apply is the portfolio building because it takes a lot of time, but I've learned that I should freeze some time spaces each week to do that.

The "Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design" course was excellent. It provided a solid understanding of UX principles and practices. The course was well-structured, easy to follow, and included practical examples that helped me apply what I learned. I now feel more confident in my ability to create user-friendly designs. Highly recommended for beginners and those looking to strengthen their UX design skills.

I thought this was a nice introduction to the world of UX. The way the course is laid out is easy to follow. The quizzes at the end of each week are a good way to test my knowledge. I especially like being able to come back to it and review the concepts. Although some of the topics seem simple, I find that it is still challenging because I've yet to put them into practice. Overall a good start to this journey.

This course gave me the framework to understand a field that I had only just heard the name of and help me realize how my life and professional experience tie in to this growing field. I now have a professional website ready to feature my portfolio, professional social media accounts ready to go and a great system of knowledge to create strong dendritic connections across as I continue through this coursework.

This foundation course is perfect for beginners who want to get an idea of the world of UX and designing. Since I was already familiar with the terms, it was quite slow-paced for me, but for an absolute beginner, this is the perfect place to start your UX life.
The best part of this course is the clarity with which the instructor talks. You never miss out on anything and everything is clearly understandable.
5/5

It was a great learning experience. Easy to understand and beginner-friendly. The inclusion of the Journey to UX design stories were very motivating and a great idea. The little quizzes in-between lessons also help remind the learner of key aspects of the lesson and ensure they are understanding. Itr has been quite the enlightening journey and can't wait to see where it takes me during the rest of the course.

As someone that already has some basic knowlegde and experience in UX Design I though this was a complete and thorough course for any begginer. Due to personal reasons I stopped working in design for about two years and I'm now trying to work my way up again and I felt very lost, didn't really know where to begging and this really help me outline my own plan and strategy to work towards landing my first job.

Excellent! It was really great to learn the common tools, frameworks, and platforms use in UX design. Also, identify the steps of a design sprint and how as an entry-level UX designer can take part in that process.
Very important, we all have biases, and they are often unconscious.
While we cannot completely get rid of biases, we can be more aware of them and work to overcome them. I am ready for next step!

I felt this portion was a great view into the position of UX designer. It gave you a great insight for those looking to see if this is the right path for them. It is definitely only a foundations course and I'm looking forward to moving forward and learning more. The instructor was easily relatable and understandable. I liked that they gave real-world examples using designers currently working in the field.

Excellent, informative course if you are a new or intermediate UX designer. Effectively explains what UX design is, covers all the main terminology and tools, what design sprints are - all the important info you need to know to help get started in the world of UX design. While all of the information was useful, Week 4 was probably the most helpful due to actually helping one get started with their portfolio.

This course exposed me to User Experience and its corresponding processes. It is very detailed and the facilitators were explicit with the process of passing out the knowledge. For a beginner like me, i was able to understand the rudiments of User Experience, Putting the Users first, front centre and back. The user is priority in the UX process. Thank You coursera for the opportunity to broaden my knowledge

Thank you very much! I got plenty more than I expected. I'm truly grateful for all the learning I did during this period (I must admit I did it in 6 days). I completed every task but the networking part, which I'm planning right now, and have already made a list of people I know and have studied/worked to ask the some questions. I have a lot of plans actually. Really, thanks a lot, it's really motivated me!

I consider this a very robust introductory course to the foundations of UX design. I particularly like how everything is structured and the fact that Google has done a great job to make this course very immersive – it's almost like you are in a classroom. The reading sections are super informative. I'll put everything I've learnt in this course into use even as I proceed to the next courses in the program.

Incredibly Awesome Course!!! It helps you to understand UXD, UX designer responsibilities, and learn industry best practices and methodologies, and a lot of different interesting topics that you would never even think of when it comes to UX design.
100 % recommended to anyone interested in the UX design but doesn’t know where to start from. The course is a kick-starter to start your career as a UX designer.

First of all thanks to Google for making such a good course available to me. I had design entusiasm before this course, but now I too have knowledge about things and roles regarding designs and designers. The best part is, in such a brief course I managed to learn a lot of things plus creating the idea for portfolio and online social media presence. Thanks Again. To google and the Respected Instructors. <3

What was good: Practice tips, tools, examples, frames, video tutorial, etc. What was not so good for me... 1) examples/comparing of "great" ux employee, Oprah, etc... i think its not so good for comparing. Becuase for ux beginners it could be somekind of demotivation. 2) Some tasks/practices was for a long time. I like more shorter task eg 15minutes max, because of planing my time for work/family/freetime.

This course taught me a lot about research, not so much about design. At least, not as much as I expected, or would consider foundational to becoming a designer. Due to the nature of this course being mostly a lecture / informational introduction I think that is appropriate... but it will be important for anyone hoping to become a professional UX designer to learn foundational art and design skills too.

Cours très convivial et très bien documenté, on se sent bien pris en charge! On n'a jamais l'impression d'avoir perdu son temps mais d'avoir appris beaucoup! L'assimilation peut paraitre contraignante mais c'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron, c'est en pratiquant encore et toujours qu'on s'améliore! Ne baissez jamais les bras, prenez une bonne inspiration et persévérez, c'est toujours payant à la fin!

Very good for a beginner level course. Of course this is just the beginning of the entire set, but I think it was a very good first impression (better than some other google courses I've tried). Anyone who has little to no knowledge of UX design would have a good time in this course as its easy going and fun. Don't expect to become an expert with just this one course though. You should do the whole thing.

I appreciate having access to this introductory course and collected 30 pages of notes for Course 1: Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design. I found that some of my conversations reflected the learning that I experienced with the coursework and that my thinking was changing to frame situations around what I was learning about User Experience. I am thankful and look forward to Course 2 in this series.
