    I don't have a design degree. I audited this course completely and developed my portfolio. If you are auditing a course on Coursera, you won't get a certificate but you can view the entire lessons. It took 6 months of hard work and finally, I landed a job in a very reputed company! To anyone planning to take the course, commit to complete it , gain skills not just the certificate and continue learning from other resources. Your recruiters will be more interested in your skills and portfolio than your certificates😀

      Yeah, the peer review has always been the downside of Coursera. it's the reason I've always audited courses rather than paying for them. If the stopped only doing peer reviews, but rather had tutors actually overseeing it would be much better. But, it would mean the cost would go up a bit, and maybe they'd have to have timed cohorts, rather than completely 24/7 anytime anywhere self paced learning.

    The part when you talk about co-evaluation with partners is so true, but is a fail that happened me in college a lot. Sometimes my partners were lazy and gave me not useful feedback.

    I just finished my first peer review assigned and I did 6 peer reviews myself and I agree with you so much about this. I feel bad for some of these students because it’s obvious they are not native English speakers and their personas were not done well at all. Which as you said makes me think about the people reviewing mine although I feel good about the work I did. Also as you stated the UX of coursera is so bad. When I finished there was no clear notification or way to navigate to see where my work was graded and the comments. It just pushed me on to the next part of the course and I had to navigate back and try to find where my graded work was. I feel the UX of this site is incredibly terrible.

    • @MalewiczHype
      @MalewiczHype  Před 3 lety +2

      Yeah, I make fun of coursera in most episodes, but hopefully they'll simply just fix these things as most of the time they are easy fixes and the experience of people learning would be much better.
      And peer reviews are quite bad, that's why in my course (in the with-feedback option) I review everyone myself instead because that's the only way for feedback that actually can be helpful and not "looks ok" comments :)

Też mam ten problem na Safari. I też zauważyłam to z peer review. Na innych kursach jak trzeba było coś napisać, jakąś opinię to ludzie pisali np. "ok", także, no bardzo pomocne... Dzięki wielkie Michał, czekałam na twoją opinię, żeby zdecydować, czy brać się za part II I chyba będę brnąć dalej, bo robi się bardziej konkretnie :)

      Mam wrażenie (ale to jeszcze sprawdzę) że te kursy (np. ten i ten z IDF) są do siebie bardzo podobne - także pod kątem struktury. Więc podstawy wielu z tych procesów na pewno się tu pozna - ja jestem najbardziej ciekaw fragmentów o UI w tym kursie Google, bo moim zdaniem UI powoli staje się najważniejszym elementem projektowania - na całą resztę są już setki dobrych patternów, a research coraz częściej robią działy marketingu a nie UX.

    Absolutely agree about the peer graded assignments. I'm in course 2 and just had my first (and unfortunate) experience with this. The person grading is simply asked if xyz requirement was met and then they are supposed to select a checkbox which has an assigned point value. In my case, the peer grading, who did not complete his own assignment correctly, literally crossed out the points listed on the screen, wrote in his own grade and said, "because of a tie"! Um, there is no tie! You meet the criteria or you don't. Anyway, Coursera acknowledged the grade was incorrect and unfair but has not yet replied with how he was allowed to change the point value system - it's a checkbox! In the meantime, the only course of action is to resubmit the assignment. In doing this, you then risk someone giving you an even worse grade (which, in my case, isn't even worth it over 1 point). So stupid. Learning how to evaluate someone's work is one thing, and I think it's important, especially in this type of work, but it should not impact someone's success in the course. Give it its own section, if need be. People grading are still learning and some are at a lower level than the people they are grading. So to your point, you have the people who won't don't know what they're doing grading you, people who don't give a true score for fear of retaliation, and people who don't give any feedback regardless of the grade. What's the point of that?? You'd think, at the very least, a system could be created, even if it's some sort of AI, to evaluate the projects independently (because I get it would be hard to hire people to grade thousands and thousands of assignments) . While I do like the courses overall so far, it would also be helpful if they at least hired people to answer course questions. Your only forum is asking other learners, who don't necessarily know the answers either, and that's only if anyone sees your post to begin with in the discussion section. How to access things on the site is not very UX friendly either, IMO, ironically.

You can watch all the videos while auditing them. then pay for one month and crank out all the activities in one or two months if you really want it. All of the parts of uploaded. They also upload videos on youtube incrementally. activities are quizzes and projects. you can always submit what you have before the dead line, get the certificate, and continue to work on them that way you also have something to show on your portfolio.

And as I have seen in some of the completed ux case studies, the "Problems" the app solved were simply like - ' So that people wont have to stand in line, wont be late to work' etc etc. I was wondering, arent these problems actually too shallow? What about problems that run deeper? Am I right about the problems being shallow?

      Hey, I've heard a lot of good about IDF courses, but will have to check them out. But if you want to get good at UX Research, the best way is to intern at a place where they do real research and get the hands-on knowledge.

      Yes, I believe so. There are many reasons (understanding adjacent roles for example for better communication) but I think as a researcher it's good to have strong visual skills too because it's a lot easier to then "sell" your portfolio projects to recruiters if your data tables, charts, graphs and interviews "look good" visually.

    What's the point in making a course where your job is reviewed just by another student? If they are doing something wrong how can they know it is wrong? I mean it is great that they structurized all the information that beginners need, but students reviewing other students? I thought I misheard it for the first time. Maybe it is a good way to make the course super cheap, but definetly not the best way to train professionals.
