Reviews
- Lecture content was interesting, and there are a lot of simple, intuitive things that helped making studying easier
- the instructor repeatedly uploaded the lecture videos and slides late
- there are no other assignments other than two participation discussion posts for every lecture in the first half of the quarter, then after the midterm you start the group project.
I was really excited to take this class since UX is a field that I was interested in but a lot of the material was pretty common sense and you could teach yourself on your own really. Dr. F also completely dipped on us week 5 with no warning and the class was left hanging until the online final. I don't think this class was bad or hard at all but if you're really looking to learn something new then probably choose a different class. Most of the material is very logical and you don't necessarily need anyone to "teach" it to you.
