I'm just over half way through this course. Overall it's great, really easy to digest bite size information so far and I'm sure the certificate paired up with a strong portfolio will be powerful to either hiring managers or potential clients. My only criticism so far is that course 4 is pretty damn slow and really could have focused on using tools such as Maze rather than making us put together spreadsheets that could've just been an affinity diagram from the start. Aside from that it's a great course and I'd recommend this as a starting point for any aspiring UX designer.

[@PrakashGD]

My experience: You will have a solid foundation of the UX design process and methods. Then when you apply this learning in your work and want your work to be critiqued, it will be through the peer learner & not by expert. So you can't expect genuine feedback. Is the certification worth it? For a beginner YES.

I’d say you’d be ready for an internship or entry-level position at an office with this knowledge. As long as you make sure you actually learn the material, you’re good.

[@Gianavaro]

I already completed 5 of 7 courses of this program. Honestly I started it just because I wanted to have a certificate. and I am in UI/UX already for 4 years. Honestly there is a lot to learn about even for those who woks in the field for some time. There are lots of people doing UI/UX but who learned watching some youtube videos. So for these people this course is a great opportunity to learn how big corporations work. Therefore I would suggest it to everyone who has time to spare for that.

[@blueandbanana]

I think that many people jump into UX design without really asking the most important question which is, “Is UX design for me and do I enjoy doing it?” I am taking a free course from Coursera to help me answer that question. I suggest those who don’t know UX like myself do the same before putting money down.

Hey! Punit . Got a question - Starting learning UX a month ago. Right now, I see dribbble and trying curating almost same for there to learn but I am unable to figure out designing guidelines. For ex: why would I have shadow 2dp or maybe have an icon down than on top. So, what I am trying to say is the architectural aspects of design. I mean I just put anything anywhere, and make it look good but theoretically is that correct. Do you know any sources I can learn theoretical aspects of building design architect ? I found material design by google but do share if you have more.

[@Mapuris]

Im in the 5th course and honestly so far as a beginner in design this course has really been a big help and is very well structured for beginners. Personally what i feel that is lacking in this course is that there's no real feedback from peers. I write at-least 5 lines for every assignment I review and all I get back is one word review. Which is really bad one more thing is people rent actually putting in efforts to make their design better or do the bare minimum. Just yesterday i checked 5 assignments and out of 5 i rejected 4 cause they just want Upto the mark and had lot of mistakes.

[@LetiferTV]

Omg, I totally agree about the lack of constructive feedback. And not being able to respond when you actually get ONE useful bit of feedback (unless I’m missing something). Lol. I am starting course 6, and while I’ve learned a good bit so far, I feel like that missing valuable feedback makes this course feel not as well-rounded as it can be. And discussion forum interactions are hit or miss. Though I’ve learned most UX knowledge independently, I’m considering other one-off courses or a mentorship for this lack of feedback reason. If you’d like an accountability partner or need more constructive feedback on your design, I’m glad to provide!

[@billscott6819]

What bothers me about this course is that Google itself has terrible usability in many areas and is notorious for ignoring user feedback, even with blatant bugs. I have UX experience dating back to working with Jakob Nielsen in the 90s and other published gurus in the space. I appreciate this review you shared, as I'm looking at this for my sister to take.

[@internetmarketingwithruno]

I have the same question about google's own software usability which sucks quite often and you cannot complain or suggest something. How they can teach UX and not use this knowledge by themselves? One drive I see in Google products when they change is make more money by any means, another is to lock user to their ecosystem - the same as all corporations do.

[@Olivia-cg4pl]
