About the Course

Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts is the fourth course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you will learn how to plan and conduct a usability study to gather feedback about designs. Then, you will modify your low-fidelity designs based on insights from your research. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Plan a UX research study, including the project background, research goals, research questions, Key Performance Indicators, methodology, participants, and script. - Explain the importance of respecting privacy and user data. - Conduct a moderated and unmoderated usability study. - Take notes during a usability study. - Create affinity diagrams to group and analyze data. - Synthesize observations from research and come up with insights. - Develop persuasive presentation skills to share research insights. - Modify low-fidelity designs based on research insights. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous three courses in the certificate program. Or, you need to have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions; as well as an ability to create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes on paper and in Figma....

The reason for a 4 star is the non-credit part of this course. Does this course have any relevance or impact when applying for jobs or is it just preparing people for level 1 jobs in UX?

This course is a rehash of the previous 2 courses in this entire certificate program. Its just explaining the same concepts over and over again and not useful.

Is it really that hard to include an example of a completed assignment? Me and everyone I reviewed were confused quite a bit.

It was too generic for my liking. It could've been a small module in another course. Not very engaging either.

This course was incredibly boring and stupid. It was a huge waste of my time, filled with regurgitated information from previous lessons or basic information that people mostly know, compiled into one long study course about how to write a research paper and present it.
