This is a good class. I misread the description thinking I was going to learn about the UX/UI programs but it was a refresher on design elements.

I think it's a good introduction to UX. But will there be another less theoretical and more hands on in the future?

As someone like me a complete beginner this course really helped me understand exactly what it was that I was getting in to. Nicolas comes across calm, approachable and very knowledgeable in ux design and all without making it feel complicated. I hope there is a follow up course to dive deeper into the UX design world.

This course was a great way to get introduced to UX design practices. The course is primarily theory-based, which helps build a strong foundation and understand the user experience ecosystem. However, there are also practical demonstrations by the instructor that allow for a deeper dive into the subject. I highly recommend it for people who want to get started in the field.
