This is my favorite course!

Best Course During Week 1 I was afraid this course was going to be all about conducting interviews (not my favorite), but the rest of the projects were really fun and required creativity.

For example, the first one was to plan an interview and conduct a part of it about a certain topic, the last assignment was to read an interview conducted by someone else and analyse the information, it would have been much more interesting to complete our own interview and make an analysis on what we gathered.

For example: A value of 2 points including a persona's image - What if the person just made a completely different persona?

I tackled this challenge by sort of haphazardly googling journey maps and praying my submission would come across as somewhat logical.Ultimately I'm very disappointed with this part of the specialization.

Covers personas, journey maps, generating ideas, etc.

By now ( during the specialization) one of the most challenging courses.

In fact, one of the most challenging assignments in this course was building a journey map, something that was mentioned in the lectures, but not gone into in depth at all.

no going into details and explaining how to actually do things.

The one that was legible was not a good example because it did not include most of the things we were supposed to show on ours.Still, the course introduced me to concepts that I needed to learn going into UX that I wouldn't have otherwise known about.

The assignments really put knowledge acquired through lessons into practice.

I have learned a lot and the assignments were a great opportunity for me to put this new knowledge into practice - although it was a real challenge to complete the assignments beside my job.

We saw more and better examples of ideation and prototyping in previous courses.

It's great that you have actual people from the industry bringing their knowledge to the table, I really liked that.On the other hand, I think the course was in general too easy compared to the academic level of the previous courses of the specialization.

It's a great opportunity to learn.

Thank you This is a great opportunity.

It was OK - like so many other courses in this specialisation it felt like a lot of common sense.

Very clear course with many exercices and a good combo with the other courses of this specialisation with the introduction of a different teacher Highlight of the course was the interview with the IDEO researcher.

requires high levels of intrinsic motivation Great video, they should be longer and more detailed though.Some of the information about these topics were treated in a more detailed and useful way in the introductory course Very informative Course.

I hope there will be more detailed examples of design techniques in the video.
