Coursera is offering a sale for my subscribers 😄 So if you are thinking about enrolling for Coursera Plus, get $100 off of Coursera Plus Annual (Available sep 8-29, 2022): imp.i384100.net/QO15V3

@meshaasilaa1642 2 года назад

I also did the course and it was very informative to be honest. The amount of information provided is immense and goes just beyond studying. You learn things like how to collaborate with other, receive feedback, prepare for interviews for junior UX roles, and advice if you want to become a freelance. Things to watch out are: Avoid using multiple platforms like different desktop devices because that might erase some of, even all your progress in your course. There’s a lot of copying from other peoples’ work which I personally to agree with. Some people will do minimal work but expect you to give the a good score. However, if you’re ever thinking of doing this course, don’t even have doubts about finishing it. It’s totally worth because it teaches you critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and prepares you for a wide array of opportunities.

Hello Aliena, I think that many people jump into UX design without really asking the most important question which is, “Is UX design for me and do I enjoy doing it?” I am taking a free course from Coursera to help me answer that question. I suggest those who don’t know UX like myself do the same before putting money down.

@AlienaCai 2 года назад

Agree. I know this is what I want to do since a very young age. I hope you invest most of your time learning what you love ❤️

@prabhudhoni7514 2 года назад

I do not think people would spend their time and energy if they do not like or enjoy the UX design process. Majority of people would know after completing maybe 10% of the course that this is not for them.

Life update: I was able to get a UX design interview with Google and went through all rounds of interviews (six interviews in total) with Google after taking this course 💪 However, I was rejected after the final round, so starting all over again 😭 If you want to learn more about what happened and most importantly, my learnings and my messages, check out this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bKnX_uUF0Cg.html

@B_Migs 2 года назад

I am in section 6 of 7 for this google UX course and I think it sucks. It's all out of order with one section talking about something you haven;t learned about yet. Then you get to the next day and they introduce you to the subject that you had to google the day before. There are LINKS in the course that say "Go back for a refresher on this topic if you are confused." When you click the link it takes you to future classes you have not done yet. HOW BACKWARDS!!! HOW FRUSTRATING!!! Not to mention, Coursera has some of the worst UX I have seen and to have a UX course hosted here is simply mixing signals. Google seems more concerned with teaching us about gender non-binary folks than UX. I am a proud supporter of my LGBTQIA+ community, including helping to book the first (and second) biggest pride parades in my city. But when every example in this course has multiple make believe people in it, all identifying as they/them, it becomes damn near impossible to know what the quiz questions are asking, or who we are talking about. It's an embarrassingly pathetic attempt at virtue signalling during a paid course. Go anywhere else if you are a beginner and avoid the confusion.

@bhaskarsawant8491 Год назад

does this course teach you to create case studies in detail ?

@B_Migs Год назад

@@bhaskarsawant8491 there are three projects you will work on for the google course. Two of them have you doing case studies in detail, but just like my previous comment the courses are often times very poorly organized and rather frustrating. There are some UX you tubers that have reviewed the course and say the exact same thing.

@shahidulmahfuz9015 2 года назад

Thanks for the review of Google UX Design. Your positive review was helpful for me to decide whether should I take it or not. Was little bit hesitating that this 7 courses may take longer time. Not bragging about myself, I was able to finish all 7 courses in 44 days (and I did not skip) mostly due to my background in this field. I'm just trying to encourage others (experienced one's) to give it a try as well, don't hesitate about how long the course is. It took me quite a bit of my time to finish it and I enjoyed the last one a lot. It's a recap of 5 & 6 course, but allows us to design our own unique project.

This was a great! (I agree with most of your points) I'm currently on course 5. Seeing your projects just reinforced why it's taking me some time to complete course 5. Just designing your projects to make them more user-friendly takes most of your time. I think I also overthink A LOT. Anyways, your projects are great! I hope they aid you well in your job search. I know finding a job in this climate is a bit more complicated but you'll get that dream job or maybe even a neat freelancer. This was the best review for the certificate so far on this platform.

@@anicorless if you want to get specifically into research, you should focus on it. Although, you'll probably be interacting with designers from all kinds, every knowledge counts and it'll be great to speak their language. I wouldn't disencourage or recommend you from stop learning other techniques, but focusing on what you want to master is the best choice for the beginning of your career

I agree with your opinion that the volume on course 6 & 7 are incomparable with 5 other courses Lol I’m now almost done course 6. One thing I want them to improve is communication features in between other students. Making a good connection with other designer in the world would be much more excitement than just learning on your own :)

@brandondang5765 2 года назад

As a person who completed the Project Management Google Certificate, I can also agree that the interaction with other students is very limited if not there at all. In my case, aside from the Project Management peer review assignments, I almost never interacted with anybody else from that class. The way that it was structured and making users to a separate forum to talk about the different assignments made it more of a hassle then having maybe a toggle chat feature to talk to other students.

@akj3344 2 года назад

What do you mean incomparable? Is week 6 and 7 too much? I have bought course only for 1 month and want to finish everything. Currently at course 4.

@DNK_KND 2 года назад

@@akj3344 I mean there are way more tasks and assignments at course 6 & 7 compare to the previous ones (course 1 to 5). I assume that you’re still working on the first mobile app product, and you’ll have one more month to complete it. However at course 6, you’ll have to complete a responsive website design with at least 3 different sizes of devices only for a month through the whole process as you did during the last 5 courses. At course 7, you’ll get new other project which has same amount of tasks as course 6. In addition, you’ll get to create your own portfolio website just for a month. (One responsive mobile app + one responsive website) Here is a great review about Google UX design certificate in case you want to know more details about the rest of this course. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KV6rvjn00UA.html

Hello UXers! On this Sunday, I invited the co-founder of ADPList Felix Lee for an interview. I'm writing this to ask you all what questions you would like to ask him. Felix Lee has worked as the design lead for multiple companies and co-founded many companies. If you are a UX designer, you might know ADPList. It is a platform to find mentors and participate in career-related seminars. There are many great UX designers on the platform that offers mentorship. With that being said, please comment down below regarding questions you would like to ask Felix Lee. I will ask him the questions on Sunday and release the interview video next week on my RU-vid Channel, "Aliena Cai". Have a great week ahead!

Great explainer video! I'm a UX designer and was considering taking this course, but seems a bit dense. Seems like some people in the comments were able to complete it in a shorter time span. Nonetheless, awesome video :) You are very good articulating and explaining your design process. Keep it up :)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I really enjoy your project Du Du. I find some of your insights on designing for seniors very inspiring. I’m a career switcher who recently managed to transition into ux after completing a bootcamp. I am looking to do the google certificate to learn from the google way and fill in some gaps in my training. Thanks for the heads up on course 6 and 7. Looking forward to more contents from you!

This was very helpful! I'm sadly not having any luck with my graduate school applications, and so I'm trying to find a way to use my psychology bachelor's and research experience in another field (maybe freelance for now is the goal?). I think UX design is very fitting for me. Thank you for outlining the course for us!

@AlienaCai 2 года назад

I'm glad that this is helpful. I'm sorry about the grad school application result. However, I'd like you to know that even though it might seem to be a bad news at first glance, it can usually bring out the best of you ❤️ I don't think you need a Graduate degree for this field. Instead, having freelance or even working for free experience will help you more than academic knowledge.

@Purple_haired_cleric 2 года назад

I have a similar situation as you!! I'm personally too dumb for grad school in psychology so I'm quite lost... People have been relying online platforms since the pandemic so maybe UX can be a possibility... 🤔

Aliena, this review was fantastic and you are hilarious! I've been looking into the Google UX Certificate for awhile now and your review has officially solidified my decision to do it. As a current UX Designer in the industry, but someone who is always trying to learn more and keep growing, I'm excited at the breadth of topics and information covered in the program and I'm really looking forward to it! Plus I'm excited to (hopefully) meet other like-minded designers along the way. Thanks again for the excellent review! I just subscribed :)

Thank you for your insightful review!! I'm a graphic designer with little UX background looking to switch to Product Design, so this has been very helpful! Plus, I love that you also went through your three projects/case studies with us-they turned out great! I was wondering if you know whether the course enrolment is on a rolling basis or if there are specific start dates? Thanks again :)

@jennylau6298 2 года назад

(asking because I was hoping to enroll and actively start the courses next month, but I only came across this course recently and it says the start date is tomorrow! lol so I'm hoping there are later dates that just keep updating on a rolling basis)

@AlienaCai 2 года назад

Rolling Basis! Don’t worry about their deadline and dates. You can take it whenever you want. It’s a self-paced course 😄

@jennylau6298 2 года назад

@@AlienaCai Hello again! I finally started taking the course and am on Course 2 Week 2. I'm wondering whether or not your three case studies were done towards the last few courses? Or were one of these projects the one you did for Course 2/the very first project prompt. Like you mentioned in this video, I'm having a hard time relating to or feeling inspired by any of the prompts given for this first project I'm about to start. I have another prompt in mind that is also as general as the Sharpen prompts but is more aligned with my interests... is the Course 2/first project a through/detailed one? Or is it more of a quick project where I won't get to produce a lot of designs.. which in this case, I should keep my idea for later and just choose one from Sharpen for this first project? Thanks again for your input! :)

Hello Aliena! Will this course will be enough to get an entry-level job. As I am planning to switch my career from customer service to UX designer and also planning to start this course and spend the next 4-5 months learning UX design Please reply, whether I take this course or not or should I consider any other course.

@AlienaCai 2 года назад

I think this course will be a good start for you! Please keep in mind that you need both skill and experience for a UX role, as the competition is high and most companies are looking for senior UXers. I suggest you to try to work on one or two collaborative real life projects for your portfolio and also open for free-lance roles :D Hope this helps. With a customer service experience, you will rock everything UX interview related :D

Hi Elena, I know in the beginning of the google UX course they mention how they will prepare you for job interviews and help you with finding a job. Are you at that stage yet and how did you find it?

@AlienaCai 2 года назад

Hey there, it will provide you the skill that is needed and take you through 3 projects to build a portfolio. However, it is better is you make sure you have real life project (collaborated with other people and launched the product). Otherwise, it might be better to start with freelancing. I am currently freelancing :)
