About the Course

Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts is the fourth course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you will learn how to plan and conduct a usability study to gather feedback about designs. Then, you will modify your low-fidelity designs based on insights from your research. 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: - Plan a UX research study, including the project background, research goals, research questions, Key Performance Indicators, methodology, participants, and script. - Explain the importance of respecting privacy and user data. - Conduct a moderated and unmoderated usability study. - Take notes during a usability study. - Create affinity diagrams to group and analyze data. - Synthesize observations from research and come up with insights. - Develop persuasive presentation skills to share research insights. - Modify low-fidelity designs based on research insights. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous three courses in the certificate program. Or, you need to have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions; as well as an ability to create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes on paper and in Figma....

One of the most useful courses for me. I have gathered soo much knowledge from this course. The work and assignments might seem a bit cumbersome, but trust me when you do those you will learn a lot.

Something are very tedious in the sense not explaining in depth such as tools like figma so I have to "google" how to do certain things overall

The worst about this course is the peer review. A lot of users don't follow the rule brick and give you a grade without explaining why.

Definitely more drudgery than the prior course within the Google UX certification - hard to get through and some holes in the content.

I think this section could be broken down further, it was a bit confusing figuring out what needed to be submitted for the assignment.

This was a great course to start, but toward the end some of the assignments and directions felt disjointed and hard to follow.

It was a decent course. I would've given a 4/5, but I had to suspend my studies for a bit due to an unexpected event in my life, and the second weekly challenge got restructured sometime during the month I was away. I have to redo the assignment (which took me hours to do just the first time) according to the new template and rubric, even though I'd already put in all the work that was originally required. The new version is even more tedious than the original assignment and does little to justify itself. I have everything else completed and submitted; this has been the biggest and only roadblock in the way of earning my certificate.

This section had a lot of redundant info with sections from earlier in the course. I understand that the course is following the design thinking process, but it felt like a step back -- we learn about research, when move onto designing in Figma, then go back to research in this section, and now back on to designing in Figma in the next section. I felt like it could have been much shorter, doing a 1-module (or less) recap/re-angling of how to do research, which we went through at length earlier on.

At the beginning of the course it saids that this course can be transfer as a credit for studying Bachelor of Arts in Psychology or Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences, but at the end when you finish and they give you the certificate, in the certificate it says this: an online non-credit course authorized by Google and offered through Coursera Thats not cool.
