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.

I believe it's crucial for students in this course to give mandatory feedback on Peer Review assignments. This would provide additional viewpoints and knowledge that may otherwise go unnoticed.

For this to require a project be built throughout all the lessons, there is no clear "Add to Project" sections, no way to see only templates/resources, the guidance is vague and hard to follow. Nothing suggestion as to what should go into your portfolio. No specific lessons on what is required (vague references to a "user research plan" but nothing that constitutes what is it) even though it is the foundation document of the project portfolio.

everything is lagging and my all assignments are gone! How did I finish week 4 with a green badge, and then got my rest of work deleted even though I passed and evaluated others! Now I redo everything and even though it shows week 3 done completely, it is still not done in another side of the page. What a joke to pay money for this!

Boring. There is way to much filler content and not enough actual useful information. All the videos with interviews with google employees are a waste of time.
