Although the course is well organized and has lots of valuable information, there are very few examples given for the assignments and projects found within the course. As this was supposedly designed for people who have no previous background in UX Design, it would have been much more helpful if we the students were informed on more specifics such as how to evaluate different aspects of the competitive audit instead of gleaning information off of the two or three premade competitive audit examples. Although finding our own examples for one of our projects is a useful way to gain real world experience in doing a competitive audit, the CoffeeHouse project would have been much more of a useful stepping stone if there were premade example situations and competitor websites/apps for us to work through and gain a feel of how it is to do an audit. Many times for many of the categories I was not sure what exactly to write under my evaluation of Outstanding/Good/Needs Work etc; because of my unfamiliarity with doing an audit. Also since our design challenges are randomly created at the beginning of the course, the few examples given do not always line up in terms of simplicity or symmetry with what we are attempting to design for our own projects. More examples and actual practice exercises with set situations, competitors, and outcomes would be very useful.

I liked the course, but they recently took out peer-graded assessments which was a huge mistake from Google. The assessments gave you feedback from other people on the course and kept you accountable because you had to submit to get your certificate and move to the next section. It is now a multiple-choice answer, While this will make you speed through the course, there is no way for the course to verify that I am doing the work. Makes is very lazy. I feel they should have implemented the changes for newcomers on the course, not the people who have already started. It makes me question the worth and weight of the certification now. Very disappointing indeed. Huge mistake from Google.

The course itself is very good. But there're people who clearly downgrade your assignments on purpose. I didn't think that the situation with peer-reviews is so bad, I submitted my assignment 3 times but there's always 1 person putting extremely low grades which make no sense without any explanation, just with a comment like "..", "I". Contacting support didn't give anything. I already started to think that they are bots or some company of people giving only bad grades because it looks too suspicious.

I thought that the content was good but the competitive audit assignment had some problems. I spent more time trying to FIND 'real' competitors for my fake company than I did assessing their content. I think it would have been vastly more useful to do this assignment for the coffee house example or something similar, where we could be given the competitors to assess, particularly given that this isn't part of the overall portfolio.

The course structure kept changing as I was completing the course and coursers did not record the grades of the exams and the assignments that I passed. I had to re take these quizzes. the experience with customer services at Coursera was no less that horrific. Although some of the updated coated could be deemed as useful it was not necessary for myself having previously come from a graphic design back ground.

I don't know how am I going to receive reviewed assignment? I am talking about the assignment on Two Personas. I reviewed 5 peers already. Is my assignment going to be reviewed by a professional teacher? Many people are asking to review their assignment on the discussion forum. Why is this? confuses me.

I am happy there is a UX certificate available, but there are issues with the grading and retention of my account's history with the assignments. It's been a frustrating time contacting tech support and just redoing assignments out of frustration and haste.

Was Okay but in my opinion should be shorter. At the middle it looks endless and also I believe some of the peers don't take serious and don't pay attention of details at the time they have to review an assigment.

It felt like you did not have enough time to practice each step properly but each concept did build off of each other quickly. I also think that a lot of the vocabulary they use is very interchangeable.

many information was supposed to be given (like made-up personas and user stories for us to use in our project). if there's a correct link to it (that works) it'll really help. thanks.

I felt that some of the work for the Coffeehouse example could have been better used to work on portfolio elements rather than a fake example. Some things also felt out of order

It was very exhausting, working on a nother project that is not yours and do all the activities, it was really awful, the content is good but all the requests are the worst

I'm not able to completed the course even after submitting all the requirements of the course, someone please help me.

while reviewing other peer assignments I cannot submit the review because it is showing error every time I click submit

This part of the course seemed way to repetitive. It seemed like you were just trying to fill a course with busy work.

peer review holds you back is not good feedback I believe because everyone here is as "clueless" as you

Very poor experience, I had a lot of technical issues and the course content is overwhelming to follow

Great learning experience. Not enough communication when they changed the course.

The template based practice work just seemed not very applicable , and redundant

I felt that it had too much information to digest and not very practical

review the time estimations on projects! more than an hour!!!
