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....

The course ie well designed and covers all the basis of user experience before the design process. Course has introduced so many frameworks for empathize, ideate and define the user's problem.

This course was a bit long winded. Many of them seem to be. I wish you went straight into software and designing from scratch. I am a beginner in UX Design but not in Design. I wish there was something for the intermediate to advance Adobe users trying to learn terminology and just go right into building.

I thought this course was very good thanks!

However, I had a tough time with the competitive audits. It would be useful if there was information on how to find general information of competitor. And also go into more detail on what makes a good impression, interaction, visual design, and content.

Some of the writings contradicted the videos and overall the flow of information felt off. I did enjoy the topics presented but didn't feel I got a solid foundation of understanding of why the topics were important. Some insight just felt like it was missing. i did enjoy the videos though.

Much of the processes in this section (ex: audits) spoke as if individuals already had an app created. Perhaps it would be helpful to rephrase the content and consider how processes may be different when you are designing an app from the ground up, rather than updating an existing one.

very interesting course. What I dislike is you don't really get to learn when you can as they discription. You cannot preview previous course once finish but having to re-enroll (meaning pay again). The page for writing feedback is never works moothly for me to leave a comment.

It is a good intro into the ux world. Unfortunately feedback from other peers is not really good thus making it difficult to work on it all by yourself. Maybe there could be ways to create teams of people that ould work close to each other and get real feedback and ideas

I felt like the videos were a little too fast, but the transcript really helped. I sometimes wasn't quick enough to pause at a certain spot in the video. I love how the text is highlighted in the transcript to make it easy to find that spot.

The coursework was fantastic, however, another learner ruined my experience with the feedback that they gave & my inability to resolve this issue myself or through the Coursera experts. Otherwise, I'd have been quite happy with the course

Faltan datos en muchos temas , es bueno pero bastante básico. Además el sistema de entrega de tareas y corrección necesita mejoras, quienes te califican son los otros estudiantes, no un especialista

This part of the course series needs a revision for clarity. I am not enjoying the presentation of information and find the creators are unaware of when they switch language around examples.

The lecturers are all great ! However, the week 5 took so much time than other weeks so I could not keep up to the following courses . I hope the course time can be more evenly distributed.

I did the course, but it's hard. I did the tests, too many wrong and useless answers for normal people. The hard answers are for the smartest people in the world. Is not nice!

Not a lot of depth of thinking in the instruction. Not very inspiring. Much of the course material focuses not on technical requirements but on woke political ideology.

I wish I could have re-chosen the portfolio details such as business type and the problem statement. Sort of glitchy sometimes. Overall, great information. Love it!

The course contents is very nice and meaningful for UX learners, but the final assignments are too heavy and should focus on the main topic for the course.

I enjoyed the course however; I felt there were some some lessons which should have been introduced before others. The surprise audit was fun.

It would be good to have more real examples. Trying to imagine a scenario which is completely unfettered from reality is a bit disorienting.

The only major issue I found was that there is no honest feedback on the submission. Need an honest feedback from a qualified professional.

the evaluations do not seem correct to me. I had delivered the work well but I was given a negative vote. Improve ratings with more checks.

In some exercises, the examples and the actual assignment got a bit confusing or overwhelming. The lectures were very good. Thank you

It was a wonderful course and I learned a lot of useful tips, but I'm not receiving my certificate even after completing the course.

Pretty cool, but at this point it is really exhausting. Maybe if you can manage to shorten it a bit and not placing it in one go?
