About the Course

In this course you will learn and practice techniques of user research and early UI design exploration. First, you will learn and practice several techniques for user research, including in-person research and survey and log-analysis techniques. Then, you will learn to analyze and deliver user research in forms that support UI design, including personas, use cases, tasks, and scenarios. Finally, you will learn and practice ideation techniques that start from user research and broadly generate potential design ideas....

Great course, thank you! I enjoy the different styles of teaching that each instructor brings to the course. And I hope to make time to do all the assignments to receive the certificate.

This was a very challenging course but it's worth al the trouble. I learnt quite a bit about the importance of User Research and the ideation processes.

This course gives a good panoramic on user centered design subjects, there are important notions on research methods that are today's standards for many enterprises, so it provides skills to use on a professional level. The title however should include "User Experience" because many of the lessons verge on UX research methodologies and applications. I'd like to give five stars but too many videos are outdated for 2022, mind this course is from 2016 and research material is older than that. If they update lessons and materials this course can only benefit.

Some great concepts and exercises in this course. A bit of a review for those already working in a design capacity but overall very useful. Prof. Yarosh really shines as someone with both strong practical and methodology knowledge.

Thank you for your great efforts, for me I'd give it 5 starts if there's more practice rather than theoretical

I like the program and the topics of the course, the homework and the resources where very usefull, I loved the separated families strategy of communication example and task, it was really insightful about the impact on technology and all the factors to consider when designing.

My only comment is to improve the rhythm and speed of the teachers. Some talk too fast, others read the slides and become boring. Two professors were having a conversation with each other, and shared examples, I liked that very much, it was more dynamic and interesting (Personas, User Cases).

I looked for this course mainly for Quantitative Research, but it was really technical and the time given was not enough, even though the example was really helpful

This part of the specialization needs more implications from the students, especially for the peer-grading. Some peer-review answers are a bit too vague, and I felt that the students were not reading documents to give a fair grade. And the hours to do certain assignment are clearly under estimated. So needs improvements but extremely interesting!
