Design

Professor Ulrich touched on this lightly at a couple of points, but I think it is critical for designers to think about their work in the larger, social, political and environmental context.

Professor Ulrich is in love with what he is doing.

Professor Ulrich is a wonderful teacher and is so sharing with ideas, examples, and resources.

I would love to take a follow up to this class with Professor Ulrich.

Professor Ulrich is very engaging, and it's very easy to see he lives, sleeps, and eats product design!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and want to THANK Coursera for providing the opportunity to receive instruction from such an inspiring and engaging teacher as Professor Ulrich.

I hope that Professor Ulrich will offer other classes in the future.

My engagement with the course is in great part due to the meaningful way of transmitting the essence of what professor Ulrich is trying to convey.

The work of professor Ulrich is excellent and his teaching skills convey the concepts behind the logic of design with explicit videos, a good text to follow and a powerful and convincing method to teach on-line.

A true gift to society, this wonderful initiative from the University of Pennsylvania and Professor Ulrich should continue over the years.

And Professor Ulrich was AWESOME!

Professor Ulrich will guide you through the "knots and bolts" of design, not only a passionate teacher, he tested his idea and theories conceiving products and services which had a great success in real life!

I loved the Creation of Artifacts in Society course!

Creation of Artifacts in Society from Warton is an engaging MOOC that can give a lot to anyone seriously following the course; whether a beginner or a trained designer like myself.

Thanks a lot Duilio Passariello [email protected] DESIGN Creation of Artifacts in Society.

I looked at what was starting at the end of october and joined the Design : Creation of Artifacts in Society because it seemed interesting.

I hope a Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society II is being planned.

Course " Creation of Artifacts in Society" is the best and Karl Ulrich very good teacher.

Karl T. Ulrich is a great professor.

I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to study under the likes of Karl T. Ulrich and for FREE!!!

Karl T. Ulrich is a amazing teacher.

The video lectures by Professor Karl T. Ulrich were just perfect.

I am very thankful that I had this opportunity it was so flexible, fun, educational and useful.. Prof. Karl T. Ulrich an amazing teacher.

Really, I am a big fan of Prof. Karl T. Ulrich now.

I will highly recommend this course to my friends!

I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in developed a product, service or idea.

I would Highly recommend this course to designers and aspiring designers.

I would highly recommend this course, more so to the engineering majors who have now taken upon product and general management responsibilities.

This was my first online course experience, and I am surprised how much I've learned.

This course is my first online experience.

I wish a fridge full of icecream for you :D My first experience with Coursera.

It was my first experience with the Сoursera.Very interesting experience.

If you have even the slightest interest in design or creative problem solving this course is a must.

Prof. Ulrich really enjoys what he teaches - Design and problem solving.

Thanks a ton :) My background is in Art & Design with a lifelong passion for problem solving.

I am leaving it with a bunch of new tools and techniques for design and problem solving, confidence that I can approach design problems competently effectively, and a passion and drive to continue along a design- oriented career path.

I took it for insight into problem solving as designers "do" it.

Also the peer review works great where real people evaluate your work, and you also get to see how and what your classmates are designing This course is definitely a mind-opener!

Both could still be refined by: (1) Giving more "look-ahead" on assignments to enable application of lessons in a specific step (particularly those that involved user input -- challenging to watch all lectures, learn steps, and then execute in same-week) (2) Creating static peer review groups so that there was some continuity in both projects that you reviewed and feedback from others.

For example, the peer review process relied on external websites and there were many issues around submission times across time zones.

There were some difficulties with the peer reviews at the beginning of the course, but they were corrected on time.

My biggest problem with this class (and why I only rated it two stars) is the way the peer review assignment and assessments are set up.

In my case -- out of a potential of 35 reviewers feedback comments spread out over the 7 assignments, I received very few useful feedbacks and the vast majority of peer reviewers left no feedback comment at all!

Karl was delightful and made the course content easy to understand and fun.

Prof Ulrich made is super easy to understand every aspect of the process.

The whole design concept was simplified and presented in a fun and easy to understand manner.

The quality of the course is amazing, the videos and the explanation for the assignments are very clear and easy to understand.

All the visual modules by TA, Amy were high quality and very useful.

Prerequisite for the course is to have 5 friends physically around you who can discuss and test things for and with you (which is difficult when you just changed country) Great many thanks to professor Ulrich and to Coursera to give anyone in the world the possibility to have access to high quality education.

I had no prior experience with this subject.

I had no prior experience with design, but this course was an incredible learning experience.
