It consisted of 8 weekly online classes, each primarily a 3 hour lecture. I and many other students already had some base knowledge in UI design and for us this course had very little new information.
Any claim that this course was innovative or taught by expert instructors was a lie. Yes, the instructors were professionals in their field, but certainly not experienced at teaching a pedagogically effective way. I was not alone among my classmates in feeling this way.
Pros:
- get to choice own project to work on, which makes a good portfolio piece at the end
- content of material was generally well structured with links to learn more
Cons:
- 3 hour online lectures with minimal interactivity is not accessible learning for students with ADHD
- no content outside of class, just the lecture. Exercises and mini assignments would have been very helpful
- very expensive for what it was. There are cheaper and better options
- most material is far too basic for people who've done some design work or spent time learning on their ownOverall2.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors3.0 -

Of course—no program is perfect. I wish we had spent more time on AI integration and user authorization. However, each lesson is accompanied by an extensive library of resources to help fill in any gaps, and the instructors are truly exceptional.

Two in-industry instructors rounded each other's expertise, which allowed me to feel like the instruction was relevant. That a being said, being that the course was only once a week for 8-weeks, it would have fallen far short of being an in-depth, comprehensive class or bootcamp. If you are someone without any skills in UI/UX and are looking for an introduction, this would be the course--however, the cost is a little pricey for information that you could pick up online for a fraction or free. The real strength of this course is the In-Person aspect, which for me is indispensable in education. The feedback from instructors in the industry is additionally indispensable.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
