About the Course

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback. 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: - Define the field of UX and explain why it’s important for consumers and businesses. - Understand foundational concepts in UX design, such as user-centered design, the design thinking framework, accessibility, and equity-focused design. - Identify the factors that contribute to great user experience design. - Review common job responsibilities of entry-level UX designers and teams that they work with. - Explore job opportunities and career paths within the field of user experience. - Explain why design sprints are an important and useful part of a UX designer’s work. - Describe common UX research methods. - Identify and account for biases in UX research....

It's a wonderful course that I've ever taken. I'm being proud of me that I've elected this particular course.

The way of taking their challenges (or tests) on a weekly basis had impressed me a lot.

Exceptional course put together by Google and made available by Coursera! This is the kind of course I've been looking for - it's got everything I need to learn about UX Design in one course, and takes from start to finish, from the very basics and fundamentals and throughout the complete Design Process.

The explanations are clear, concise, and easy to follow, making complex ideas more approachable.

Oh! I just finished part 1 “Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design”. I can't really say that I like this course, but the things I learned were very helpful. The most interesting thing to learn is bias and ways to reduce bias in user research. For me the most difficult thing to learn is user behavior.

I enjoyed this course very much. I believe the teacher made it very easy to understand and explained things very well. I loved the videos from google employees sharing their experience, they motivated me. This course is full of great information and it is made easy for beginners to understand UX Design.

It has been awhile to not attending any courses, even though living our daily life with Search engine GOOGLE is the university and library of so much to learn, but attending to this course gave me another motivation to learn and add the value to me myself and be part of this beautiful human civilization.

A big thank you to Google and coursera for this opportunity. I have recieved so much information. A big thank you to all the facilitators.

If you have little to no knowledge in UX Design then this course is a great start into understanding the basics. It also allows you to figure out if this is something you can see yourself doing on a budget. This course has allowed me to learn on a pace thats fits my busy life as well. 100% recommend!!!

The course provides sufficient information about UX and what types of UX designers are there. I very much liked the different frameworks that were introduced as well as introducing design sprints and how to use them. Finally, I am also glad to have learned about the UX job market and how to get into it.

This course was very easy to understand and enjoyable for beginners like me!

At first, my friend suggested to look into UX Design, because of how I looked unsatisfied with my current career. After starting this course, I'm now really looking into the subject, and excited to learn more about UX Design!

Finally, I finished this 4-week course series. Honestly, I have been self-learning for UX for nearly 2 years, but I have never learned systematically. In this series, foundational UX knowledge is explained in a clear and rational way following an actual design process in the real world. Really helpful!

The course is good and very practical but The networking and create your portfolio part should be at the end of the certificate program, when you have more idea and projects to post right away in the social media and portfolio and not at the beggining when you dont have defined or explored your skills.

I am happy to go through this very detailed course. Lots of graphics, videos and proof tests helped a lot to understand the material well. The course is written in uncomplicated language, and at the same time it is very accurate, extensive and easy to understand. Thanks to the creators for a great job!

I loved this course, not because I was thaught new things about the UX Design world but because I feel more educated on many subjects like equity-focused design and assistive technology. The mentors explained everything well and it was easy to understand. I am grateful to be a student in these courses!

Although I have previous experience in UX/UI design, I decided to take the Google UX Professional Certificate course to enhance my skills. I enjoyed learning about the different frameworks and ways to make the initial processes of UX a little smoother for everyone involved. Looking forward to course 2!

I really enjoyed this course. It was easy to understand all the concepts and new frameworks shown as the foundation of UX Design and the practice quiz and discussion forums were very engaging. I loved the mixture of video/audio teachings along with readings (plenty optional reading materials as well).

It doesnt get into the design yet beacuses as it states, it teaches the foundations of UX Design. It explains everything you need to know in a very clear way with lots of resources to get more in-depth information. I liked this course, its mind opening and the activities are practical and interactive.

Looking forward to the second course in the certificate. I agree with one reviewer who said that having to start a portfolio website, social profiles, etc. in one week alongside all the other work for week 4 is a bit much but I guess the idea is to get something up and make improvements along the way.

This was an excellent choice for me, considering that I have been waiting to expand my knowledge of UX for some time now. There was a lot I learned here, like Research Methods, Research Biases, Some key fundamentals when it comes to being a UX designer, there is a lot of value that the course offers.

Although some of the wording used in some questions asked in the quizzes needs to be less confusing, for the most part this has been a great experience. It may be nice to alert the learner to a longer time-period needed to complete week 4 since you are building a website for a portfolio to be housed.

Great introductory course, complete with video (with transcription in any language), exercises, readings, student forums, etc. Very well explained, inclusive as well. The course is done in a way to help encourage you to keep going, it's motivating and rewarding. It felt good to start studying again.

The course did well in introducing me to the world of User Experience Design. The videos were very informative yet short enough to keep me engaged, and the activities helped reinforce the ideas I learned in the videos and readings. I am excited to continue my journey in learning all about UX Design!
