Good informative course but very disappointed with the peer grade reviews.

I'm a complete beginner and honestly, Not much to learn here.

Some assignments were confusing (week 5) - the google drive file was not opening (week 5)

Everything has been good so far except for the final activity which was the peer assignment. For starters, although i did looked through the grades that did poorly i noticed that only 1 our of the 3-4 corrections didnt make any sense. Immediately after receiving the lower grade i editted my submission and it seems it didn't work, even if my assignment was due in more than 15 days in advance. Sadly, this affected my user experience greatly because someone else decided to poorly read and by consequence, poorly rate my work. At last, it affected my grade and I do care about this, I dont feel accomplished.

Course was great but the peer review is HORRIBLE! On 2 occasions I had the same or more amount of work and followed the same prompt as others and I get dinged points because my peer does not know how to read or review correctly! I hade to wait for them to review multiple times!!

Emily is an absolutely fabulous instructor! She speaks at the right speed, she is lovely, her voice is harmonious, and I had the sense that her enthusiasm to help us learn was genuine. I'd take any class she teaches. The material in his module is great too! It was much more difficult than I imagined it would be, but that's good. Having to do everything twice (once for the Coffee Shop example, and once for my own project) is great learning experience. Thanks! I look forward to the rest of the courses.

Very great course for both a UX beginner and someone who already has some basic knowledge, but would like to go through the whole process of researching customer needs from the very beginning.

The research techniques and frameworks in this section were incredible, it is always intimidating to start with a blank canvas but thanks to this I can have a working method.

For assignment rubric, criteria grading should be clear and focused to the quality, so learners can do their assignments seriously

The video content can sometimes contradict the readings. E.g. the definition of edge cases. Also, a lot of content is squeezed within 5 weeks. It feels more like a 6-week course.

Last part was not fun and engaging. I couldn't find any competitor apps for audit in Google, but I've found some sites presenting completed portfolio from this course with the same theme. And they all missed audit section. So it took me a lot of time to find any competitors on the market because of the theme I've chosen. And I'm afraid I will face similar problems in next courses. When I've finally found some competitors it turned out I can't download their app to me iPhone as they were not available in my country. I think course authors should do something about it as theme generator feels completely isolated from real world and proposed you some themes that are hard to complete. This feeling completely demotivates me.

All the 4 courses I enrolled in were ok!. I didn't find it great. The instructors were just reading out from the screen. I wanted to experience real teaching. Some assignments were fun, but overall it's time to change the teaching style. 

Hi there! This course was very well designed and had me completely intrigued from the very beginning. Emily is a great mentor and all of her lectures were very well put and understandable. She made sure it wasn't too descriptive neither was the information too little.

The most interesting part of this course was the entire Empathizing phase where we had to really understand a user, interview them, curate an empathy and journey maps. This was a new experience to me and I had a lot of fun and learnt much more about why this step is crucial in order to pave a path towards the design goals for an organization. Overall, this has been an awesome and fun part in my UX career learnings.

Hats off to Emily and The Team at Google!

Good.

this peer Review section is bad some people making false remarks like Shreekant gore.]]

He is not even putting a comment on why he is rejecting I have to do the same.

Also, I couldn't find things to review on. Week 3 what can. I do?

This course thoroughly explains the process, and the psychology behind it. I feel very confident about the solution after walking through this process. This is a great course for cross functional partners to an UX designer too!

Excellent course and the instructor is amazing! Definitly recommanded for people who want to learn more about design research, ux process and get a more professionnal perception in user experience.

A great foundational wealth of knowledge on how to start the UX Design process. This information really helps you build a framework for the coursework within the Google UX Design certification.

The information contained in this course is great and very easy to understand. My only issue is that for many of us the templates needed to submit the final weeks peer reviewed assignment would not give us access and there is no one to contact for help about it.

The course is well-designed and the host of it is very engaging. However, the peer review process weighs this one down. A lot of the time, the assignments you'll review are low-effort and simply reposted multiple times until they get a higher score. You'll also spend many hours working through the course content and ensuring it meets the rubric criteria to have people mark it quickly simply to move onto the next part of the course. I also have heard from other people on the course, that they even saw their own work plagiarized and was asked to grade it. I'd recommend treating the grades you get with little weight, and to simply engage with the course content and find your own value in it.

Generally good. A bit too much on the activities in this course.

I had to stop working on this for 2 weeks and when I returned all of my activities and assessments had reset to incomplete, which caused me to have to redo all of them. Very annoying.

The content of this course is great but the peer review is a disaster. I get no constructive feedback, just comments like "nice" or even "n/a". I'm not saying that everything I submit is perfect, but I've submitted several assignments that I know absolutely meet each of the grading requirements, but my peer reviewers will award zero points and give no reason why. I'll just keep resubmitting until I get a reveiwer who bothers to put any care into their review, because otherwise I'll fail each assignment. Not a great system!

Looks its 5 stars all the way. I reccomend this but, I keep having scrolling issues. im putting in one star so that people are aware that at some point there are scrolling issues and really inconvenience the submitting portions of the course please fix this!!!!!!!!!!!! ironic that im taking a UX UI course too lol it goes against everything theyre teaching!!

otherwise its a great course :)

..please fix it

Assignment and template are badly drafted. Templates with the same names attached in different lessons links to a different format. Exemplar don't match with lesson examples.

What is wrong with peer - graded assignments. I submitted on time. its been two months that I did not get graded by anyone. what a waste of time. Please rectify the mistake.

Too much 101-level topics. Get to the point, quit wasting my time. Not technical enough.
