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....

Really liked the course and learnt a good amount of things about foundation UX research. Some parts of the course were a bit too theory heavy. Some aspects of the course could have been an interactive activity or such.

I really like the experience. Eventought, I would consider better differences in local contexts. Here in São Paulo I wasn't able even to download many coffee house apps, because it's still not so popular here.

The class was informative. But I wish it had a better way to stay on track with all of the cloud documents. Easily lost what I was working on if I don't have time to dedicate to it often. Nice skills learned.

Awesome course overall, keeps from being 5 stars from me simply because the estimated "time to accomplish" to make progress was not realistic given the material covered. Great depth and information covered!

However its the certificate for the UX design, there are plenty of other matters related to UX, which is good, but the UX itself as well as with the communication with peers (UI) is sometimes confusing.

A bit heavy on exposition but valuable concepts none the less, I wonder if it would have been better to mix these in with practical stuff to make them less of a slog. Would recommend it anyways.

I believe it's crucial for students in this course to give mandatory feedback on Peer Review assignments. This would provide additional viewpoints and knowledge that may otherwise go unnoticed.

It is hard to comment posts because people wrote some comments without sense. Also there were some bugs, i complete video or task and after that there are not verified that i have done that.

All in all very good! Minus one star because of the competitve anaylsis section with larger tasks. Don't think it belongs here as it is more of a fundamental business admin/management topic.

Muy buen curso, lastima que las actividades a puntuar por los usuarios muchos no se lo toman enserio y hacen cualquier cosa, ademas de que solo esta disponible en ingles...

A very important part of the course that allows me to understand how a user is investigated and understood to get the most out of it and give it a better user experience

I can recommend the course for anyone who wants to get into the subject of UX.

You can determine the progress of the course yourself and continue it over and over again.

It was a good learning but some examples of competitors audit wasnt clear i think it would be better if website url was real and we can see how can audit a real site.

The process is not that clear, it lacks path to the process and introduce too many new processes within, that makes it confusing, otherwise it is very informative.

The course is good & very informative. But it's too big & while reaching the end of the course I feel very boring. I need to stretch myself to complete my course.

I would recommend this course to everyone who are interested to learn about UI/UX. It's good for beginners and to those who already know about UI/UX design.

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.
