While this course contains much redundant information when viewed alongside the other courses in this certificate, the standalone information and practical assignments are valuable and holistic.

I'm working on building a digital responsive web site. I'm having a hard time with make the frames responsive. I'm quite frustrated with this course. I find myself be sent back and forth between different projects. I find My self going over my work hundred's of times, wasting time in a disorganized matter. The sticker sheet wasn't thought till after everything was put together, thats something you should be teaching in the beginning. I have made hundreds of wireframes. Your course is missing critical components in the beginning like drop down boxes, components, better auto layout explanations, no mention of constraints for these items for auto scaling between desktop useage and mobile useage. This simple technique saves hours and hours of time when taking a project from desktop form to mobile form or the other way around.

Well, I was unfortunate to start this project exactly when Adobe XD was displaced to Creative Cloud! They dragged in a third design project in the last (7th) course, completely nullifying the efforts on the second (this one/ 6th). It turns out I was making a "dynamic" website that does not exist in reality! While the course had a different name and promised to teach how to create a responsive website...So, now I can't put this second project in my portfolio! Instead, I have to do a new one, a third project - a responsive (hooray!) website and dedicated mobile app. How come? This course must be restructured.

These courses get worse and worse as they go on. Course 6 was terribly out of order. Assignments I had NEVER heard of were being asked of me. Methods I never learned about I was expected to perform. It was until I decided to skip around the course that I discovered many things were so unbelievably out of order that the course could not be completed unless you went through cherry picking assignments until they had eventually all been completed. I've been in school for many different skills, this is the WORST learning experience (ironic, I know) I have ever had. It's straight up sucks.

Worst designed of the certificate bunch. Lots of redundant work, Adobe XD is very unfriendly to get a free version working. Lots of features are blocked behind the paid version, and the courses don't acknowledge that so you'll spend a lot of time trying to debug. Honestly should just be deleted from the course.

This course takes SO much longer than the amount of time we are told it will take. I've been working on this course for over a month now. I am expected to build out an entire responsive Ecommerce flow (In other words, 8 different screens, rebuilt 3 separate times) and have had to reset my deadlines twice now.

Felt like this course was way too repetitive of the FIgma unit in the certification path. Perhaps I'd have a better opinion of the instructor and the course if I hadn't just done all the same work in the Figma course.

I is very bad and missing much on the content. The URL was responsive-web-design-adobe-xd. there was no Adobe XD. I was very disappointed. I paid $200 for this.

I think this was a very repetitive course, it made me very tedious, only 3 videos were really useful, of which they teach how to use XD

This course forces you to learn quite a bit about Adobe XD which likely will be obsolete/replaced by Figma.

My journey through the UX Design course has been nothing short of transformative. This learning experience equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of UX design, from user research to prototyping and everything in between. What truly set this course apart was its meticulously structured curriculum. Despite the multitude of topics we delved into, it never once felt overwhelming. The instructors' expertise and their ability to simplify complex concepts made each lesson engaging and accessible.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire teaching team for their dedication and guidance throughout this course. Additionally, I want to express my appreciation to the behind-the-scenes team who worked tirelessly to make this course the splendid experience it was.

As I look forward to the next chapter in my career, I can't help but dream of joining a visionary company like Google, whose impact on the world of design and technology has inspired me throughout this course. I am eager to contribute my newfound knowledge and skills to a team that shares my passion for creating exceptional user experiences. Thank you for helping me take this significant step towards realizing my goals in the world of UX design.

The "Build Dynamic User Interfaces (UI) for Websites" course, part of the Google UX Design Professional Certificate on Coursera, provides essential training for creating interactive and responsive UIs. The course covers key concepts such as layout design, component creation, and responsive design principles, ensuring learners can develop dynamic web interfaces. Led by experienced Google instructors, the course combines video tutorials, practical exercises, and real-world projects. This hands-on approach helps students understand and apply dynamic UI principles effectively, preparing them to build engaging and user-friendly websites. Strengths of the course include its focus on practical skills and industry-relevant techniques, making it ideal for both beginners and intermediate learners. The comprehensive instruction on responsive design is particularly valuable. However, the course could benefit from more advanced topics and examples of complex UI components. Overall, this course is an excellent resource for anyone looking to enhance their web design capabilities and create dynamic, user-centric interfaces.

I recently completed the Responsive Web Design course in Adobe XD and it was an excellent learning experience. The course covered each step of the UX design process, from empathizing with the user to defining the problem, ideating, prototyping, and testing. This allowed me to create a comprehensive website design using Adobe XD that not only met the client's needs but also ensured a great user experience.

One of the highlights of the course was the emphasis on planning information architecture and sitemaps for website designs. This is critical for creating a website that is easy to navigate and ensures that users can find the information they need quickly. Additionally, the course covered common layouts for web pages, which helped me design web pages that are visually appealing and functional.

Overall, the course was well-structured and included a design project that I was able to include in my professional UX portfolio. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their web design skills using Adobe XD.

This is a fast-paced course that relies on prior knowledge from the previous five courses. One needs self-discipline and perseverance to reach the finish line of this course. Although it's meant to be finished in 6 weeks, learners might take more time than that to create a well-thought-through website prototype and case study. This is especially the case for those who aren't learning full-time.

The peer review process was a little tedious as it seems that people are re-using their mobile app designs and not building a website. But at least there aren't as many peer review assignments as in the previous rounds, as the onus is really on the learners to monitor their own progress and make sure they are applying what they learned.

Learning more about Adobe XD was fantastic, as this tool complements Figma and has pretty amazing additional functions (e.g., repeat grids).

Thanks to the Google team for curating such a wonderful course.

As someone who is passionate about UX design, I found the course to be incredibly valuable. It provided me with a solid foundation in responsive design and helped me develop skills that are directly applicable to my future career in the field. I'm excited to put these skills into practice and contribute to the creation of innovative and user-centered designs that make a difference.

Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in UX design or front-end development. It's a fantastic way to gain practical skills and knowledge that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.

Very informative course that gradually moves from easy tasks and concepts towards complex practical tasks. Requires a lot of self-discipline and some additional information search (certain things I had to clarify outside the course's scope since i didnt have a clear answer to the emerging technical challenges with creating prototypes and mockups). I recommend to dedicate specific time per week when you do just this course with your phone put away to eliminated distruction. Try to get into flow state and cover as much as you can.

The "Build Dynamic User Interfaces (UI) for Websites" course was great! It taught me how to create interactive and engaging websites with ease. The lessons were clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is new to web development. I particularly liked the hands-on approach, which allowed me to practice what I learned right away. The instructor was knowledgeable and supportive, answering any questions I had along the way. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their web design skills.

I liked the process and the courses which were taught, thanks for your good job. However there was something I would like you to help me with. While I was learning the first courses there was a video about how you can choose to learn Adobe XD or continue with Figma! I would have loved to learn about Adobe XD by the help of Google instructors but I did not have access to that, would you please help me with this issue. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I've always loved versatiiity of professionals who can work with different tools for the same or similar tasks. Responsive Web Design in Adobe XD showed how incredible that versatility could be. Being able to design a responsive website with Adobe XD from scratch for the first time implies that I can now work well with two leading software: Adobe XD and Figma in UX Design.

Learning Adobe XD through this course was super easy. Its a great tool to design with. So many useful features, excellent Adobe tutorials to learn from. Responsive Design was another excellent concept I learnt and used in my second project for this course. Finally, the tips to create a UX resume and job search are extremely relevant and useful at this point of the program.

This course was probably the most challenging as it required combining all five previous courses into one culmulative case study. I liked that it allowed us to gain experience in Adobe XD and designing responsive websites. It's alot of information, but good information. Bookmark everything, skim and review in more detail when you have time later.

This is a good course, especially if you are doing the specialization. Some assignments are confusingly presented, as it is not clear if you are looking for a new design or to continue the process you were already following from the other certification courses. But it is a great review of all the previous concepts.

Absolutely loved this course. It was a great experience. The speakers were good designers who shared their vision from beginning to end. I do it just for a few weeks, and I am happy to receive my certificate. I will recommend those who want to learn UI UX Design from scratch. Thank you, Googlers!

Dave was an outstanding instructor—thank you! This was my favorite course yet. Seeing all the skills and design knowledge come together in one course is very rewarding, esp for someone who doesn't have a background in UX. I loved it and the access to Adobe XD was a bonus. Thank you again.
