Hi everyone

Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask would there be anyone who’s open to reviewing each other’s portfolios or practice presenting case studies? I’m finishing up my Google UX course and would love to hone my skills before applying for internships. Thank you in advance lol

Hi everyone! I am in Course 2, Week 1. Trying to find people to conduct interview with each other or fill out surveys.

hey folks - I started this course in January, and I've been stuck on the course 2, week 2 user interview assignment for the portfolio project for a while now. I figured I should reach out for help with better understanding the task. Is anyone available to connect and chat? tia ✨

Hi everyone, I am currently in Course 2 Week 2 and is stuck in the interview section, because I couldn’t get enough survey. I have post a link in the #📋surveys channel, I would really appreciate your input and I would love to help anyone who has the same need. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I just started Course 2 week 1, after months of neglecting it 😬

Congrats!

Hello everyone! I'm on Course 5 right now and chugging on through! Really excited to start developing hifi mockups this week. The one thing I really struggle with this course is that there is just a lack of feedback generally. I'm really thankful that we have this little group now!

Hi! I'm also doing the certification, and am currently on Course 3, week 2, just about to do some wireframes :)

#

What has your experience been so far with the feedback you've received? Unfortunately, I usually only get points and a one-sentence "feedback" but nothing really constructive.

jagged bay
#

Honestly, that feedback part isn't very helpful

#

That's just the assignment feedback in the course

#

And also, how do you feel about the discussion forums on Coursera in general? To me they feel to be made for a sort of a "fake engagement", to be honest. I've never seen a proper discussion going on there, so that's why I started looking for places like this discord :)

#

Even I have mostly just randomly said "good job" or left a thumbs up emoji in that feedback section on coursera

royal olive
#

Yeah, I do that too now, only tried to give proper feedback the first few times and then saw what I was receiving and just got discouraged :/

jagged bay
#

For real feedback, you need proper engagement with people. Yea, Coursera discussion forums are kinda fake engagement because they don't really provide anything valuable. Literally every single thing there is "please check my assignment - here's the link"

So, is it time for a UX redesign of Coursera forums/the whole engagement process? 😂

#

I myself was sprinting through the first 5 courses

#

I finished sprinting through the first 5 courses in about 2 months or so

#

Then, I haven't got a chance to finish the 6th course in like 6 months

royal olive
#

Ohhh! What happened if you don't mind me asking? 😅

jagged bay
#

I don't get time

royal olive
#

Ugh, that's quite understandable unfortunately

#

My exams started around then, back to back orals, assignment submissions, practicals, finals, and then a new semester after just a 15 day break

#

Honestly, I was just burnt out at that point

#

I was trying to handle so many things at once so fast

#

So, I decided to take a break from the UX design course.

#

And, my best friend will also be doing that course

#

So, I am waiting for her to catch up

#

Yea

#

And to motivate each other too

jagged bay
#

Though she may not catch up at all, lol

#

Because last she finished course 1 after a week or so... By that time, I finished 2.5 courses

#

She started the second course, but gave up because I was too fast and she didn't have sufficient motivation

#

And, I didn't know that she was even going to do them... I would've waited for her if she told me she was going to do those courses

royal olive
#

Well maybe now when she can catch up in her own time, she'll finish them. I'm any case, good luck! :)

My college started offline classes last month... After that, we barely get any time for ourselves

#

The university is 2 hours away from both of our places, though we don't exactly live near each other (imagine an isosceles triangle with 2, 2, 1.5 sides)

Hi all, currently making my way through this and just made it to course 6

#

How have you all been getting new people to interview/test whenever it's required? I don't really want to keep asking the same friends every time...

#

Ah okay thank you, wasn't sure if I would be intruding in those as a student. Will try those next time one of those pops up!

Hey everyone! I'm currently enrolled in this course as well and am on Week 4 Course 1. Would love to engage with you all regarding the same and share projects and feedback !

I had to do this before. First time I made it a formal thing and got a few people, none outside of my circle of friends. When I snuck it in to conversations I got a lot of results

#

And I used that data

#

Granted this was for a class w my masters and not google, but i'd probably do it the same way
