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....

Course is good but the peer review system can be frustrating at times when other users don’t care to follow the rubric and give out inaccurate grades forcing you to resubmit many times

We learned a lot about research, empathizing with the user, defining the problem, and ideating possible solutions to the problem. The assignments were long but worth the process.

Appropriately more rigorous than the last course. Learned some useful processes my B.S. program did not go over in our studies. Instructor experience was pleasant and informative.

This is incredibly useful. I gained an understanding of how the development of the design of the project is built from the very beginning. This is an integral part of development

This part gets you to really think about your users and their needs. Creating personas can only happen if you understand their problems. Always centre the user. They come first.
