The UX Program was created for professionals in any field to become professional User Experience Designers even if they have no previous experience in Design. This is fantastic. Thank you so much!

This was a good course. My only complaint is that some questions in the assignments are too open-ended. Particularly in the multiple-correct choice questions, there seems to be a lot of ambiguity.

Overally this course was very informative and fun! It's unfortunate that a lot of people seem to not take the course seriously, though. I came across many incomplete assignments in the peer review sections. I also wish my peers gave me actual feedback rather than just "good job" or "nicely done." I'm here to learn and improve and I don't feel like the community is helping me do that.

I also think it would be helpful if there was one main scenario that the practice assignments focused on rather than going back and forth between the different examples (CoffeeHouse, dog walker app, pizza app, etc.). I think seeing how the different steps play out in order in one scenario would give us a better idea of how the process works. I like having the other examples for some variety, but I think they'd be better if they were used as extra practice for those of us who want to try applying what we've learned in different situations before applying it to our portfolio piece.
