When designing systems that work for users, there is no substitute for watching them try to use the system to see what works and what doesn’t. In this UX course, you will learn how to design and conduct tests with users that will tell you how effective your design is for helping users do what they need to do, and how they feel about using your system. This course is part of the User Experience (UX) Research and Design specialization offered on Coursera. What you'll learn: Identify different approaches to user testing and their appropriate use Understand how to design an effective user test Understand how to run an effective user test to get the most information possible out of each encounter Analyze and report on user testing
Learned a lot of things and indeed got my hands dirty in order to learn! The only downside is that i'm still wiating to get graded in order to finish the course and get my certification.
best course ever, love the way the content is explained here!
Great for Understanding how to conduct usability testing, also given some great example that allows me to understand completely what the instructor means.

Very useful course. The final project is quite challengning but it can become a real world porfolio.
Really thorough. I never expected interviewing to be so challenging.
It's really great opportunity to study how to conduct a real usability test. This course was the hardest compare to previous in this specialization but I learned a lot through it! Highly recommended!
Great content and lecture with a difficult final assignment.
Great format, entertaining assessments, great trainer!
Amazing course, well structured and helped me learn some wonderful methods to improve my evaluation process while interacting with users.
It is very good course that will give you the understanding how to conduct, moderate and analyze the user tests.
I liked the lectures and the helping materials for the assignment.

This course is very essential in how to do user testing and making user testing reports and so on. It was very excellent to learn user experience design.
I totally recommend this course. You learn a lot, the teacher is amazing, and there are a lot of activities to actually practice the methods and topics. The peer reviewing system helps you to learn much more from the exercises. If you want to become a professional in this field, this is a very appropriate course, at a really affordable price.
The course itself was good and thorough, however, the work load went from just quizzes and a simple, easy peer reviewed assignment to a snowball assignment that was a lengthy report for the last week. I was quite shocked by this and I think the assignments should've built up to this.
I'm 40 and went to university for the first time 3 years ago and took a similar course. But I can recommend this course 100% in terms of content. The videos and content are very high quality! A lot more professional / orderly than the face to face school. I chose the specialization, I love the course and I can implement some of it every day. However, at the end of the day, without ETCS, I will not be promoted nor will I get a pay rise at least here in Switzerland. Apart from that, it's 100% worth it.
Pro:
Super professors!
Very good content, deep enough and well organised.
Very good slides to apply directly.
Contra:
Only everything that concerns an online course. (and you probably already know.)
No recognized diploma
No contact with the professor, work is checked by fellow students.
I learned a lot in this course, the project is hefty but can be done in a span of 6 days if you manage your time well enough and devote 2 hours a day and get things finished. I learned so much about the evaluation process, for example, design evaluation with SUS and interview protocols. I know how to conduct an actual interview and analyze qualitative research now. A must take!
This class was great for learning real-life applications of UX design and then applying that knowledge in a practical context. The usability report assignment was very immersive and taught me a lot about what being a UX researcher or design involves.
Probably my most difficult but helpful assignment yet, because of the user tests I had to complete and then the user report that I had to submit, I can see how this will help me later if I get into user research.
The instructor is excellent! We will move from easier to harder lessons.
You will learn how to conduct a usability test in the real world from the beginning to the end with multiple support materials. I love it.
The course itself was great but, the grading from peers can be frustrating since you solely rely on other students and not the expertise of the educator or experts to know if your work is truly valuable or not.

A rewarding experience because I have been able to learn very valuable information. It is an excellent course. It has helped me in the personal and professional field. Thank you.
