the course is quite comprehensive, but the first two courses mainly focus on what design is, not on how to design. starting with a project would be more affective and the course would be less boring.
This section of the UX Design Professional Certificate is really the starting point for this certificate. Finally understanding the steps in more detail and having hands on material to work through.
Fun and practical course on wireframing and prototyping in Figma. Found it easy to follow, well explained and useful. I wireframed an entire app and prototyped it. A needed skill in UX design.
The course was great, with detailed explanation and a lot of examples. The assessments and quizzes were very helpful. My experience with this course was really awesome.
I am absolutely delighted with the course I have taken. The course is very intensive, interesting, I received a lot of useful information. I went up another level. Thanks Google!!!
It was a really amazing experience. All the topics are really well described and the practical part is also the best thing you can experience while pursuing this course. Thank you.
Wow! The learning process, though painstaking, it is worthwhile. What a great learning experience! And my recommendation? It is an amazing point of learning for aspiring UX designers.
Such a helpful course which shows how one can leverage AI as a value-add to the job search process and make huge strides that add efficiencies that are very effective across the board
I have learn a lot of things about UX basics like role, responsibilities, what is user Experience, process of UX , its amazing course with Assignments that keep me uptodate with my learning material
A bit heavy on exposition but valuable concepts none the less, I wonder if it would have been better to mix these in with practical stuff to make them less of a slog. Would recommend it anyways.
With the ability to learn practical skills, you can acquire the knowledge and expertise needed to advance both personally and professionally. This is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Great on theory, but sometimes it is missing some practical help, like on the to make revisions on your design from the date you just gathered. Some examples would be great.

Overall, I think the course was great. A super informative introduction to UX, and it made me excited to keep going and start course 2. My only somewhat negative feedback is not with the information, but of the timing of the last section. I think the sessions on networking and creating the social profiles and portfolios seemed a little premature. This is all so much information and could be so intimidating for those that have zero knowledge in this field. With a design background, I have a website and Linkedin etc, and I hate to be someone that makes a blank profile or account somewhere since it looks unprofessional. Also, paying for a website early with no information on it or work to show could be overwhelming and to me, even with knowledge of making squarespace sites and having social media accounts, I feel like it's a lot to create all these accounts this early on with no work in UX done yet. I'm sure there's a good reason for putting this info out there early on in the course, but that was just my initial thought on everything!
I really liked the course and I would give it a 5 but the only reason I gave it a 4 is because all the designers that were interviewed (linkedin examples, etc.) had design background, either studied it or interned/worked. I am not coming from that background at all so it was hard to relate and also it made wondered if there are people like me with diverse background who are a bit older who got a chance to work at companies like Google. If I were to improve the course I would also bring people from completely different background of design and who might be switching their career at a later stage of life to be more inclusive.
I am extremely dissapointed in this course. While it does covers the absolute basics of UX design, you could get the same information just by Googling it (oh the irony). There's not enough real life examples of good and bad UX design and often times the discussion prompts are completely useless because you simply do not have enough knowledge to write about the provided topic.
If this is meant for complete beginners it makes no sense to skip the most basic building blocks of creating an enjoyable UX and go straight to creating a portfolio and finding a job when you don't even know how to do anything yet.
While the videos are short and easy to digest, they get hard to watch after a while. The speaking is unnatural and kinda robotic and can someone tell Michael to blink? It's all I could focus on.
As someone with some knowledge of UX design, graphic design and web, I learned nothing new that could help me advance my career or find a job in that area.
The course covers the absolute basics of what UX design is while going into some level of detail about the foundational aspects of the field. While that's great, the video content is gruelingly slow and speaking cadence is extremely unnatural and hard to watch. The content covered is sometimes a little too detailed in some regards, while missing out on key elements that I (just personally, as a practicing UX designer) find to be fundamentally significant and useful. Some of the content is also worded incorrectly or seems to be prepared for a different set of content than what is actually presented, but that's rare. At the end of the course, the certificate you're presented with looks pretty bleh. I would definitely not be proud to hang it on my wall. It reminds me of the shoddy 2-minute graphic jobs that come from online scammers or other people who know little-to-nothing about graphic design, but need to quickly produce some kind of visual artifact to scam some entirely-ignorant party. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who knows nothing about UX design and has a strong passion to begin their journey into the field, but past that, a simple outline of principles and fundamentals along with a few weeks of self-education using easily-obtained online resources and references seems likely to result in broader knowledge and a better skill set, closer to real expectations of the field.
The information presented in this course was not worth paying for. It was rudimentary at best and nothing you would be capable or proud to put on a resume. It's a gimmick, existing to draw you into a 7 step program which you will continue to pay for, not a 'short course' at all. The advertising should reflect that.
This course introduced me to the world of UX Design. It has also encouraged me to go deeper in this field and explore more. Thank you, Google, Coursera, Commonwealth, and the Government of Bangladesh.
It was great experience. The speakers were good designers who sharing their vision from the beginning to end. I do it just for few weeks, and I am happy to receive my certificate. Thank you, Googlers!
Huge disappointment! The course is misleadingly called "Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design", but instead it's barely about UX design and mostly about how to prepare for job search. I don't need a job, I need information about UX design. You know how I'd call this course on UX design? "An example of awful user experience", that's how.
Weeks 1-3 were very informative and helpful and helping me decide that I want to continue learning to become a UX designer. I felt that Week 4 was out of place though. Week 4 talks about building a portfolio and asks you to purchase a domain and make a website. I currently have my own website for my illustration work but I would like to wait to make a website for UX until I have something to show.
It is a great course for beginners and people transitioning to UX/UI design career from other fields. It gives you a basic knowledge and information what UX design is and how to apply it in real life.
This course inspired me, before taking this course I have been used some UX Design communities, I have worked in Adobe XD Design. This course explains the right way and UX process. I like this mentor.
The premise of UX Foundations was that we can learn in our own way. But now I see strict deadlines and no tools to customize it.
That is why the system does not meet my needs to reconcile work and personal responsibilities.
I don't think the advertisement was true with what was offered within the course. I was charged, missed deadlines and now I am very dissatisfied with the information.
Very detailed and I was able to go at my own pace. I enjoy the switch between reading and videos with the pop quizzes in the videos too. It kept me engaged the whole time! Can't wait to learn more!
The most useful lessons were around accessibility and design sprints. However, too much emphasis is placed on portfolios and social media before ever showing us how to design anything. Those pieces should come last.
It was so cool to learn new skills online and it was so understandable and thankfull to Google team, Courseera and the technology that helped people like me to get new skills flew in the blood stream.
It is pretty good. You learn new things even as someone who has some idea of what UX is. Would recommend to those who want to start learning because it is affordable and provides valuable information.
I think as someone who looked into UI/UX on their own time before taking any of this course this is too geared towards beginners and information felt like fluff to fill with 2 -5 min videos regurgitating the common sense principles of UX design. I've learned more in one 2hr lecture on UI/UX from a 'GDC' youtube video than this entire course series
Perfectly informative for someone without the knowledge already, coming from someone with a degree in the field already. Though, creating a portfolio without any work to show would be hard! haha!
First i have to tell the amount of effect and information than put in this course is great hell lot of information about UX Design. Now iam thinking that i have selected a best course offered about UX
Its a great course.
If you are looking to enter UI/UX industry that its a must.
Instructor guides from start, so even if you don't have any knowledge its fine.
All you need is zeal to learn.
