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.

Thanks to my Google certification, I've learned so much and developed so many new abilities. The instructors constantly encourage students to complete their homework, which is relatively easy but does need commitment. I found my inspiration to continue exploring the finest methods of user communication to deliver my message.

The best course and longest I ever had. But with God I made amazing projects, learn new things and efficient ways to do best; I've helped real life companies by building hifi prototypes, and frame my 3 first UX cases.

It was supposed to be Six months, I made i in 4 by the grace of God.

Thank you Google.

Thank You Jesus.

That was an incredible journey! I learned so much, I'm so grateful to Google and Coursera for hosting such a brilliant, detailed and informative course. 6 months ago, I definitely didn't think I'd come to love Figma so much and have so many new skills to explore. I can't wait to get started with my UX Design career!

Very beautifully made and motivating. I think it is a bit challenging at that point to find more and more people that help you with your usability studies, but I think this course, where you can create your own project and ideas, is a really nice way to put personality to your portfolio. Very motivating, thank you!

This is an overall very thorough course that encompasses UX methodologies and hands-on learning. It's a well-thought-out course for those who can't afford a UX boot camp. I highly recommend it; for the money, you can't beat it. The instruction is top-notch, making it an excellent course overall.

It was a challenge in doing especially on an old computer and tablet. Some courses needed more time, as well as some assignments felt more than just 30 minutes or 1 hour. overall it was a good experience and I will recommend others in trying out Coursera in furthering their education.

One of the creditable courses about UX design, I truly appreciate the efforts of Google team to create this course for aspiring UX designers. 1 suggestion, I think the section about writing portfolio in Week 4 should go to Week 5, for a cohesive knowledge about writing a portfolio

this course was great well as !

there is some thing about all peer assignments , sometimes the grades are unfair and with no reason they decrease your grade. Also comment section is not useful since they just write one word to pass the assignment.

I hope my comments be helpful .

The course does take quite some time but is well worth the effort.
