    The course is amazing and challenging. It really gets you into the process of coming up with a coherent and beautiful interface. I really think you end up being capable of designing a User Interface where everything has a reason to be and look the way it is.

    As a graphic designer trying to venture back into the design world, this course breaks down the basics and helps you understand the concept behind UI/UX design. It helps you start to use not just your creative skills, but your analytical brain too.

    It is a well-structured course and I personally enjoyed working on the assignments. Though I would have loved some more videos on the sketch and pattern library. I highly recommend this course and look forward to completing the specialization!

    The projects are great. The only problem I think is in the second project that it's not so clear that we should submit one-page homework and other learners were mistaken and gave low points to my project because the thought it wasn't complete.

    This course helped me understand the thought and effort that goes behind building an app or easily identifiable content on a website. At first, I just wanted to explore interface design. Now, I am extremely intrigued to learn all its ropes. :)

    Excelente curso, se aprofunda bastante na teoria com conteúdos que não são fácilmente encontrados por aí. A parte prática com os questionários e as atividades avaliadas entre os alunos são importantes pra treinar o que foi explicado na teoria.

    It is a good course to learn basic knowledge of user interface design. Creating a mood board and extracting concepts, themes were quite interesting. Designing the pattern library is also helpful to learn and prepare the real design process.

    Nice Course

    But it needs to some one who have a last experience of Visual design with Adobe software to get more grades in the exercises

    Good content with good connect with the author

    Very Good step for any one to go ahead in UI/UX design

    Another great course stunningly taught by Michael. Teaching is concise, effective, straight to the point. I highly recommend this course/specialisation to any self-disciplined learner who wants to sharpen their interface design skills.

    A great kickstart for those who are looking to dwelve into UX Design it focuses more on how you can use the concepts of design and how you can apply it rather than step-by-step which is great because there's no one way to do UX design.
