We learned the basics of data retrieval, processing and analysis. The classes took place in-person in NYC. The class schedule worked for me as I could attend after work. The instructor was awesome and very good at explaining on a higher level as well as breaking down the concepts for us. The class setup was good, and the office overall was renovated so it was a great experience. After a couple classes of intro, we were encouraged to think about our final projects for submission. We had to choose a good-quality data set, get it approved by the instructor, and manipulate it using MySQL, pose questions about the dataset and work to find the answers, draw conclusions, visualize the insights using Tableau, and communicate the findings. The course concluded with a final project presentation to my fellow classmates. I learned a lot, and recommend it if you'd like an intro class. Note that this is not an engineering-school grade course and only exposes you to basic concepts.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I can certainly say that it pushed me to learn Figma and try out design ideas and actually take action on getting some skills in usability rather than think about it (What if? Should I?, Is it Hard or Not so Bad?). Now I know a lot more than I did 8 weeks back! And I actually enjoyed most of it. Instructors and class mates were great. Overall it was an 8/10. I just think that I have so many more questions now, and I see areas that I want to learn more about. I wish that we had more time, but I went from someone who had a hazy idea what a wireframe was to someone who can quickly draw one in 2 months.

Through the incorporation of real-world industry examples, I learned invaluable insights into current trends, challenges, and best practices for research methods. This has built a strong basic knowledge to get well-prepared for the dynamic UX landscape.
One of the course's highlights is the in-class workshops. These hands-on sessions empower my learning to translate theory into action by tackling real design problems. Working collaboratively with peers fosters a creative environment mirroring real industry teams. This approach not only hones design skills but also cultivates teamwork and communication abilities.
In conclusion, this course didn’t just teach theory. It immerses students in the practical, ever-evolving world of UX. The combination of industry examples, in-class workshops, and personalized feedback ensures graduates are equipped not only with knowledge but also with the skills and confidence to excel in their UX design careers.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -
