Ratings and Reviews for UX Research at Scale: Surveys, Analytics, Online Testing

good

ok

The content was rich but the organisation of content can be improved.

Awesome!

This course was development it seem different from the design approach where as it was an advancement and intensive to me.Very good course. I was not aware that UX/UI is broad.

There were a few issues with the ability to turn projects in, such as the prompt asking you to include a spreadsheet, but you can only upload one document, so your pdf report has to take priority. Look, the class itself was great - I'm rating 2 stars due to the value, mostly thanks to the course's over-reliance on peer review for grades. Though this may just be the only reason I am aware of the real problem. This class essentially allows cheating. I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it was to "grade" multiple assignments that were either gibberish or literally a blank document. And many of these people uploaded word docs, which required me to download the doc first, only to open it and find it was not taken seriously at all. Some assignments are even titled "help me" as a request to others to rubber stamp their grade. Honestly, it devalues the entire certificate, wastes my time as a serious learner, and is just plain annoying. The fact it, I paid money for this, and I probably paid more than these others since I actually took the time to do the assignments and there is a monthly payment while taking the course. And while I did get value from it - after all, the class itself was great, the laziness/cheating of others (both from those who turn in the fake assignment and from those who grade them at 100% anyway) makes me not want to take any more classes of this kind. And as an employer, it makes me take these certificates less seriously. These types of courses punish those who do the work while rewarding those who don't. And it is literally my own work ethic that is forcing me to finish the specialization lol, even though I probably shouldn't.

good course

This course should be redone. I was confused most of the time (about conflicting or incomplete instructions and terminology used but not explained). I did appreciate the instructor's slow rate of speaking.

Deffinitely the worst course in the whole specialisation. The instructors don't really bother to explain UX metrics (which doesn't stop them from asking about them in the course assignments), but instead go for lengthy (lengthy as in 45 minutes length) videos, which are way too vague. Importantly, this slopiness (it seems nobody reviewed the course content, much as they promised to do so) doesn't apply to the course participants who have to carry out a 20-people survey and sumbit a report in the last week. Unless you run a research agency, recruiting 20 people takes much longer than a week and I strongly recommend working on it well in advance. That is if you want to earn a specialisation certificate because otherwise I don't see any reason why you'd take this course. Better get yourself a book on UX metric. PS If learning basic statistics is what you are after, then sorry to disappoint you, but for some reason they don't even mention that. though some people might think it proves useful for research at scale

Professional Course!
