TOP REVIEWS FROM START THE UX DESIGN PROCESS: EMPATHIZE, DEFINE, AND IDEATE
I fell off and didn't begin working on the final assignment for a WEEKS. I just got so busy. I kept resetting my deadlines multiple times. It's such a relief to finally have this course completed.
My instructor was engaging and communicated very well. The transcription was super handy and I loved that the reading after the lecture re-emphasized the content of the lecture. Excellent. Thank you.
really enjoyed it a lot. It covers everything from the course reading to extended material, quizzes, projects, and feedback. The journey of learning this course is really incredible and friendly way
This course is very detailed and is as challenging as you make it to be, so I would suggest to complete each task as serious as you can in order prepare for good contents for your portfolio
