Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback.

TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS OF USER EXPERIENCE (UX) DESIGN
the course is quite comprehensive, but the first two courses mainly focus on what design is, not on how to design. starting with a project would be more affective and the course would be less boring.
The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!
I enjoyed the course content.
I'm disappointed that there isn't an easy way to navigate back to my feedback in the discussion forums to engage with other students about the feedback I've provided.
It's a wonderful course that I've ever taken. I'm being proud of me that I've elected this particular course.
The way of taking their challenges (or tests) on a weekly basis had impressed me a lot.
