I finished the whole Google course about 7 months ago and combination of this plus daily practice of UI is what helped me land my design job. And although I found the course quite boring at the end I am the type of person who wants to finish things so I went through it all. I agree with everything what you said plus I would add consistency and determination as well. I spent every day for almost a year working on my skills and portfolio and did this while working full time job in different industry. It was totally worth it and it paid off!
That is the approach I love seeing! Congrats on getting the job, working so hard means it's 100% deserved! :)
Thanks for the comment
This is my goal
To change fields while working ❤
@@LindaQueLeenda spend enough time so you feel you are progressing
can I see your portfolio
Was it only this certificate with your portfolio you used to get the job?
The Google UX course was perfect for me. I'm a product manager and the reason I took it was to better communicate with my designers. Some terms were a bit off (used by Google only) but it made me understand how a designer thinks and the reasoning behind some of their decisions. I can now collaborate with more in-depth suggestions instead of being a manager who can only say "this feels off", now I can pinpoint what is not good and what is actually good and provide more assertive feedback.
Yes as an upskill like that it's definitely a good idea :)
How did you get into product management?
@@emmanuelonwuka1532 It was something like a diagonal move. I was working as a lawyer for a tech company and during Covid the courtrooms in my country closed, while my client was also struggling to find a PO for the product I was doing the legal documentation. They asked if I could help with documenting the tasks as I was already receiving them in some form, to put on the legal documents.
What ended up happening is that I really loved doing that and decided to actually make a career change and the company was very happy about it.
If you want to get into the product, the best way is to start building things, you can do that in the company you currently work for, or even create your own low/no-code product. Product management is desperate for good workers, if you can showcase your abilities you can land a job easily.
@Henrique Auler I have a no code website I've been managing (more like a blog) since 2017. I've been able to grow its users and also been able to manage it properly. I took a Product Management course on coursera earlier this year and since then I've been looking for a remote role. I don't mind working with you to gain more experience if you don't mind.
@@urssoz " if you can showcase your abilities you can land a job easily" I agree with you, that's how I got PO position in my company.
Hey,
Google UX Design is an excellent course; it helped me a lot. In a UX part, but sometimes it gets very boring and confusing, so I always clear my doubts by reading articles, etc.
But for UI Design, this course is not enough, so that's why I am reading ebooks and Medium articles.
That's the right approach!
I have completed 6 courses and I stopped at 7 because it’s so hard to find research participants and research is not my thing. I got a job before finishing the course though but irony is not as a UX designer but actually as Webflow designer. So the story is to get a job we need portfolio and Webflow is one of the platform to build your portfolio site. And I saw a Facebook post about Webflow job, I applied and shared my previous UI design work and I got the job.
1) UI design
2) Competitive Research based portfolio
3) Internships
Before the actual job ✨
not necessarily internships but networking, being visible to people online 🙏
@@MalewiczHype but internships give access to and help to add real life projects to portfolio😀
Of course, if possible they're one of the best ways to get in but getting one is not easy :)
@jaleebeig can you explain 2)
This is very helpful! I just got to course 2. I have an Associates degree in Graphic Design, I was working on my bachelors in Exhibit Design but wasn’t really into it but had taken an Interaction Media class. I’ve been sitting with the idea of UX/UI design for almost three years and this course has helped me feel inspired to learn and create again, outside of my job. I’m definitely going to take your course next.
You got this! Graphics design skills make it a lot easier to quickly grasp good UI patterns and apply them :)
I've started taking Google's course exactly for the same reason you mentioned (what I get for the money). And because I wanted to learn and be a good UX/UI designer (as a mostly print graphic designer) but I figured out quite fast that the company I work for has a very very VERY low UX maturity. I think you can learn a lot from the course as a beginner and what you can get from it also very much depends on you, your dedication (for ex. I did real interviews too for my research) and of course somewhat talent. Sometimes I find it hard to do everything well and neat after my full time job, but in the end I always find myself even doing more and neater design than the Google presenter itself, and that pays off :D. Actually what I miss are proper reviews from professionals, I find peer reviews useless most of the time. And as well I think they put a very big emphasis on the research part and way less on the actual design part (which I more enjoy). But I'm happy that Google made me draw again by hand, which I did a long time ago and I was happy doing so :D I really enjoy prototyping too, but before I started the course I already learned a lot of software using skills by myself so now during the course I'm more like pushing my boundaries so I'll make my Figma prototypes more interactive and fun. So I guess you can make sort of much more out from this course, it really depends on you and how much extra effort and extra time you're willing to put in it. I think even as little as reading/watching something about UX/UI with your morning coffee every day gives you something "extra" in the end.
Thanks for the video. I was very conflicted on what course to go for. I just graduated with a degree in architecture, but I want to make the shift into the UI/UX industry. About to enroll into the google course and go through your course as well. Thank you once again.
Your plan is solid then :)
Hey! Yeah, I finished the course, but as Michał said 5-7 are not worth it. I just recently purchased 2 books of Michał so soon I am starting to read it too!
Hey man! Am also and architecture graduate transitioning to UX. Great to see people actually switching from arch.
A question am always curious to know from fellow arch graduates, what exactly made you to decide to switch for UX?
Curious... Y architects r changing course towards UX🙃
@@limkasod i think it is long hours and bad salaries XD plus there is less and less respect for our jobs... At least that's my opinion.
Man, this video is tailored for me lol, I felt weird "conducting research" for my imaginary food ordering app, I'm on course 2 and couldn't wait more to get to course 3 because this is when we are able to start designing, I appreciate how you always hit us with harsh but necessary truth because it will save us lots of time and effort, it's understandable that anything needs time and work to be achieved so I'm willing to finish course 3 and 4 and will come back to this channel lol, thanx man that was really helpful 👍🏽
Great to hear that! And yeah I believe after part 4 taking the rest is only for getting that PNG diploma which is quite useless really. So parts 1-4 and then strong UI focus is the best path :)
@@MalewiczHype now I realized that ui is what made me start this course in the first place, thanx again
What Malwicz said about research resonated with me, I started studying UX about about a month ago and started my first case study right away (total self-paced, no program/course). My first hurdle was finding legit and authentic research.
I ended up commenting on another TH-camr UX designer WIRED to DESIGN (great channel) about this. He got back to me and recommended to focus on secondary research methods and do a competitor analysis of the best products relating to my case study solution. I found this to be the only legit research I could find that was me just faking it. I also USED the products to learn how their platforms and services were for myself. But that's only on the preliminary side (phase one of UX design process), but on the user testing side, I see that my research will either be complete BUNK or minimal and irrelevant, unless I do a redesign of an existing product (church website/app) or something like this, and not the fake case study/UX challenge I'm currently doing.
Anyway, doing the competitor analysis has been valuable, as it has shown me what any thoughtful business or marketing firm would do as part of a business plan, especially if deliverying a new product or trying to disrupt an existing industry. I actually enjoy the process and see how it stacks in the ExS (experience strategy) and User Reseach aspects of UX design quadrant, a strength and focus of some UX designers, especially leads or PM.
Currently on the same page, oh my god thank god someone mentioned it! Totally a weird feeling the imaginary users, interviews, company, competitors, etc.
I am at my very first steps I have no idea about the industry I've studied economics. I usually feel overwhelmed especially after I've followed so many designers on LinkedIn, I see really pretty works thinking I'm never gonna be there.
I am now at course 6 and it's getting pretty boring but I've learned a lot + I've never received an under 95% review of my projects and I've also reviewed really sloppy ones like people just want to finish get a certificate and go but I don't think this is how it works.
Hello, I am really excited about finishing my UX Google certificate course since I only have 2 courses to go afterwards. I don't want to feel down if I don't get a job afterwards based on the portfolio I create, but I learned a lot ever since and I really don't regret taking the course. Plus the google certificate wasn't the first time I ever attempted a ui/ux project since I went to a previous design school but it only covered the basics of ui/ux. Btw to test my app designs for this course I used helpfull, idk if anyone has every heard of it but its a way to test your designs with online people for usability studies and I don't regret doing that approach.
Where can I find helpfull?
same , can you share the link
I had high hopes taking the Google ux course but after watching your video, it kind of shatter my hopes when you said the course won't make someone job ready. I won't stop though, I will keep my head held up high and practice after the course since I don't have money to buy any other course
You don't need to purchase any other courses - check out the becoming a designer playlist on my channel and learn to improve your UI skills with that.
The thing is that the Google course is a good foundation, but learning more on your own (esp. UI) is essential.
Go do it, I believe in you :)
Thank you for your awesome videos, I'm also taking the Google UX course and it has really improved my research skills.
Thank you Michal for this review, very insightful!
My pleasure!
I got the Coursera subscription (completely worth the money) and i took the courses to learn a new skill. It's great for beginners like me.
That is true, lots of great knowledge there, but it's important to pick things that work for you and skip the ones that aren't as useful.
As always, an awesome video filled with valuable tips 💓💞💕🥰
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the video, Michał!
I am looking forward to your Boring UI course. I have learned from you everything I missed in university and I bet they don't teach in that in the Google UX course or boot camps in general. You're the best! 🙏🙏
Thank you, I love seeing people progress and google course while really good in its first parts really benefits with some external ui practice :)
Great video. Your insight have helped me to refocus what my intuition was telling me. Thanks helping me see how to utilize my time.
Thank you so much for this review on the Google UX certificate courses. I stagnated at course 3 because just as you point out - fake research and fake solutions make for an unexciting, unengaging course - which no other review (and I looked at several) mentioned. I will be taking your advice and completing courses 3 & 4 before switching focus to UI courses/practice.
I also did a full review of each of the Google Course segments individually last year - this video is more of a summary - those other videos are more in depth - and after a year I see 1-4 + UI practice to basically deliver the best results :)
This all sounds about right. I'm on course 7 and plan to finish it just for the shiny certificate. Conducting research has been unusual. When the course is over, I'm probably going to stand in a public place and pay passerbys to do usability tests.
It would be a lot better if we had mentors, but for the cost, Google deliverd a fair bit! I'm still looking for mentors or designers to pose questions to outside of the coursera. Overall, I think this course is a big help in creating UX designers.
Yes. I think mixed with my UI Courses (for which there's an option to get direct feedback from me, not from peers) it has a good track record of getting people job ready.
You are the mentor that I was looking for, thank you so much!!
Michał, love your suggested timeline and recommendations about what to focus on. Thank you for your tips. I would love to see the video about networking and suggestions you have about that.
I actually made a video on Networking in January or February - should still be on the channel :)
Lol, I have the same thoughts about the Google Course i've completed 1-4 and learned a lot about UX!! not UI, and then for the next project (website) i didn't made case study nor did i pick up the sharpee website prompt they are proposing, because I thought i'd better off making myself portfolio website than some another generic website with boring case study. Then in the peer graded assignments i just wrote: "please review my website". Nontheless i still think finishing this course and having it in your linkedin is better than not having it, so I would suggest doing very good 1-4 courses and you can slack a bit more in the last 3 courses. Just try to focus more on UI reading other courses, websites or Malewicz's books
Yupp! If someone wants a certificate for the entire thing then by all means - finish it :) But doing 1-4 first and lots of UI practice on the side can get you sometimes into a job before you even finish the remaining 3 ;)
I’m a welder by trade and just got to Course 2. It’s been alright so far, but I’m ready to get into the meat and potatoes!!
I think someone at G is listening to this feedback. Halfway through section 5 a month ago they completely nixed the peer graded sections and only had brief tests for knowledge points. Sections 5/6/7 seem to have been revamped a bit to provide portfolio, resume, and interview content, and now the certificate lands you on a list to be on job boards via a G partnership made specifically for certificate earners.
Overall, I agree with your assessment in this video, still. It's a lot of good groundwork, but there's no replacement for fundamental skills. If you don't come out of the certificate program running and looking to improve your UI fundamentals, refining your work capacity and speed, you're just going to be another person complaining there are no jobs and you can't get hired.
I've been doing websites since flaming logos and winamp skins, and the certificate still gave me some useful up to date information. But it's not a place to land. It's a place to jump from.
Thanks a lot Michal :) I will still finish it, and start some UI related something after that :)
and that’s a great plan right there!
Great video! Thanks for this!
The google UX course helped me when starting out with UX Design. Its tailored for beginners.
Do you need a professional freelance UX designer to work on a web or mobile app project, hit me up.
Loved the Trex haha
Thanks for this video. I already have finished first 4 courses... So its clear for me now, that I dont need to go for the 5th 6th and 7th. Bit the 5th one is halfway do e😅😁
Your advice has been very helpful. I am an aspiring UX/UI designer and have been bouncing around between different bootcamps, but they are all so expensive so I have not taken any leaps. I am currently doing a course though Udemy and considering doing the Google course next. I am really lacking structure in my learning which is throwing me, but I don't want to toss thousands into a bootcamp. After I finish the Udemy course, I think I will do the Google UX course or the Interaction Design Foundation's UX course. Which one would you recommend?
Glad it was helpful! I'd say do the Google Course but if you want a full guide check the pinned video on this channel. It's a full roadmap.
Thanks for this advices ❤❤
Any time!
I'm currently on course six and I'm determine to finish it since I'm so close to the end. I did notice the lack of UI and bookmarked your links and course.
Thanks for this, when you say practice your UI skills, how would you go about doing that? Is there a method that is proven or a daily challenges that people do to push their skills? Thank you, love your content.
There are both daily ui challenges and recreating existing (good) designs. We plan to release both of these ways for free on our upcoming platform for designers (hopefully late december, early january)
Thanks.
Excellent guidance Malewicz, im a full stack webdev and ive been followin up your material from a couple of months, i think this is the right path for me, would you like to share that slack group for keep on learning the good stuff? Thanks in advance!
Amazing video, Malewicz! That's exactly my thoughts while taking the Google course. I agree that they focus more on the process and less on UI concepts. I'm a graphic designer with 10 years of experience transitioning to UX/UI, that's why I took the Google course. Before that I took a Figma course focused on UI to learn about Figma and best practices.
For someone that comes from graphic design with work experience in design agencies, do you think it makes sense to apply for Jr positions or we could possibly be applying for mid to senior positions as first job in this field? And what are your thoughts on UX/UI jobs demand for 2023 with all those lay offs happening at this time?
It really depends how well your transition from graphics design to UI goes. If your UI skills are really good quality (I will do a video on those "levels" on Monday) then you may go a bit higher than junior and add previous experience as work exp. But it's hard to say.
@@MalewiczHype That's fantastic, Malewicz! I haven't seen anyone talking about that topic and it's a little bit confusing for me. I'm confident in my UI design skills, having my graphic design background combining it with what I learned from the UI courses I studied. I do not have previous experience in terms of research, testing with users, and the design process from UX/UI design, that's the reason why I am now studying the UX Google course. As I'm preparing to update my portfolio with UX/UI design projects, the case studies seem very intimidating for me. I just bought your case study and portfolio bundle to study after I finish the Google course, it's exactly what I was looking for. Keep up with the great content and your honest opinions on design topics are always very much appreciated.
Thank you, great video. What are your thoughts on Meta Front-End developer course which has design in it as well. Would that complement GUX course to have in addition or standalone? For me I’m already in IT mostly HD Analysts at big Tech Co. but looking to transition internally to Design and SWE/D teams.
I haven't seen the Meta one, is it quite recent? I may review it but if it's front-end I may do it with my dev friend.
@@MalewiczHype yes it’s new within the last 5/6 months. It’s delivered on Coursera and through Meta.
Hey. Now that I am in course 3. I feel like from a UX Designers perspective UX is 80% and UI is 20% of the process but from an employers perspective UI is 90% UX is 10% (im quoting you here). This is because UI skills or knowledge can be shown in a few pictures whereas UX skills or knowledge isn't easily quantifiable on a measurable level? Am I correct? Please correct me If I am wrong. Thanks.
Also should I focus mainly on my UI skills? If I want to stand out for jobs?
Yes, that's exactly the idea. With a "ux case study" a reviewer can mostly see whether "all is there" and very rarely there are any true insights from these fake projects and fake research.
With UI it's either good or it's not - check out my most recent video on that :)
Thank you for the video Michal! What courses from your page would you recommend for a total newbie? ( in combination with the Google UX course ) thank you 🙌🏾
The upcoming Boring UI Course + the Free Figma complete beginner basics (on TH-cam) and the first Mobile App UI Course are a great way to start :)
I'm not sure what you mean by google isn't great at design. I mean I want to move to pixel over galaxy because googles apps look so much nicer and cleaner. Yes, back in the day they didn't have the best, but I think they're one of the best now. I don't know though, I've just started mu UI/UX journey
I completed 2 IDF courses before getting my first ux-ui job and it didn't help me at all, stakeholders didn't care about any of the steps i took to design the screens, and they made it clear in every meeting 😂😂, it was pretty frustrating at the beginning, all those customer journey maps, empathy maps, personas, etc were never used, improving ui skills to get a polished and well structured screen and prototyping the components real behavior is more pragmatic and valuable skill.
Yeah, some big companies do value some of the process, but definitely not all of it - it shifts depending on the approach, the stakeholders, the business needs, their financial situation and many other things. UI is the safest path :)
Hello Michael, is there a hard copy of your UI book available for purchase? if so where? Many thanks for the info and for everything that you do. Cheers.
for now there’s only an ebook because we update it every year but at the end we will definitely do a limited print of some of the books
@@MalewiczHype Looking forward to it, I haven't bought the ebook yet, it's on my list, need to finish some projects first :D but I would love to have a printed version in my collection. Much appreciated the time to answer.
I’m practicing this course on a TH-cam version to get an understanding before I sign up for a boot camp so I go in somewhat prepared and feed my brain while I save for the boot camp is this a good strategy?
This is amazing. Would love your review on Udacity UX Design nanodegree.
I'll see - maybe I'll be taking a look at more courses this year but those take a lot of time ;)
Thank you for this video. I am currently looking at all the different bootcamps and courses and confused about which one to take. I really value opinions of experience people in the industry like you. I am considering a bootcamp by University of Toronto or this Google UX course. I have no experience in this industry and trying to get into the tech industry through UI/UX. Hopefully by the next few months, the economy would be in a much better situation. Do you still hold the opinion that Google UX course would be better to a complete newbie?
I am generally against expensive bootcamps as sure - some can be good, but most of them are heavily overpriced and the quality of what you get is not that high. Doing the first 4 parts of the google course and 2-3 of my courses generally brings better outcomes - I'm seeing it (and hearing) every day from people who are getting their first job. It's worth focusing on parts that give you the most benefit in the shortest time, as it will still take a lot of time to get good.
@@MalewiczHype thank you. I will take your advice on that. As the Google course just costs a fraction of the bootcamp and I'll take your course also. Hopefully I'll get to learn a lot! Excited for my new journey
Im currently in course 4. So you don’t recommend moving on from there?
Also would trying to do some freelance design with my skills at this point be something I should try? Or is coming up with my own ideas good enough for my portfolio I have some ideas that I have written down I feel could make for something interesting to work on.
Yeah I believe 1-4 is the best parts. 5 is really low quality UI (with a pretty good instructor, but the skills it teaches aren't really helpful) and 6-7 is repeating 1-5 again on a different kind of project.
I'd say focus on UI skills after part 4.
@@MalewiczHype thank you for replying. Will most definitely be using your courses!
Great video as always. What about having a REAL product out there, that is having been tested, it value more than a couple of proyects that are not real?
Real is always best!
@@MalewiczHype thank you for your response. I have that proyect, but due i am focusing on it, i don't have that much for show, just iterations of the same one. I feel i have to involve in others for make a stronger Portfolio, but i don't know
Do you think The IBM Enterprise UX Design course is any good compared to the Google UX Design Course?
Haven't tried it I'm afraid so can't say. However you need to be aware that most big corporations (google included) when they make a course it's done in a "corporate" way, meaning the IBM Enterprise one is likely "similar" meaning that it likely won't teach you the skills needed for working for smaller brands - and those are hiring the most rn.
I’ve finished the UX design course and portfolio in August but I’m having difficulty finding a job. Any advice?
Work on your UI skills and on networking. These are two biggest factors in finding a job.
06:45 thank you very much, that gave me a lot of confidence and motivation t0 push more :)))
How do one practice the ui side of things?
Great video really appreciated your review and suggestions. Do you recommend any course out there that dives deeper into interaction design ? Also what do you think about the product design course by Dribbble ?
Love your videos and your courses 👍🏼
Interaction design is a pretty broad term - I haven't checked any Interaction specific courses yet, but I'd say learn from youTube :-)
Hey man , just curious . Which programs / tools are used for your ui courses? Im considering getting a laptop to finish up my studies (m1 MacBook Air ) and be able to run other software. Currently using my iPad Pro 3rd gen , and a 2012 Mac mini that im running figma smoothly on. Do you recommend me getting the m1 to run some of the software in your ui course? (Btw i was already considering getting a new laptop , but if you think its not necessary for your classes i can also wait off until later)
Generally Figma in most courses, Sketch in some. But they're taught in a way where you can follow along in any modern tool.
M1 is more than enough, but if you have a computer that runs figma well you don't need to switch.
Thanks man! Another thing ..how many attempts do we get to try to get the 95 % score ? After your feedback if i score a 90, can i fix the things you said , and bump the score up?
Andddddd also will animations on figma be part of this course ?
Hi! I wanna ask about your course. If I have some experience in UI your "Boring UI Course" will be good for me or better buy "Design Better UI"?
That really depends on how much experience you have - if you're unsure you can send me (on Twitter or email) a project or two you've done and I can tell you which course I think will help you more :)
Excellent video, I would like to know if your courses are certified?
What do you mean by certified?
Can you review Calarts ux specialization on Coursera??
Thank you for the valuable information that you share with us! I would like to be part of a Slack group, where I should DM you?
On twitter or via email is best :)
Hey thanks for all the great advice!
Recently subscribed to your channel. Can you please guide me on how to join the slack channel that you mentioned in the video?
Hey, best way is to either email me or DM me on Twitter.
Welcome aboard! :)
Awesome thanks!
Hii. I want to join Squareplanet. I am loving your videos. You have boosted my confidence. I have left my good earning job to become a professional UI/UX job, because this field I am interested in and I believe if you have passion for something your chances of sucess is more in than field. And you have just given me hope that the path to beaconing a UI UX deisgner is very tough, but at the end its all worth it!!!!
I finished this course and got certificate but till now I didn't get any job yet because I have no prior experience of ux design so I am confused what to do now and how to get a job without any experience I am from Lucknow India please help me what to do
I made a couple of videos on what to do exactly - just go through my channel's previous videos to find out what to do :)
@@MalewiczHype thank you sir
for the response
I like your channel very much appreciate it
Practice Practice Practice . . .
Yes!
hey sir i hope you are doing well, im trying to have Access to your material how ever it is not available in my region. what should i do ??
Sadly if a region is not covered by gumroad there's little we can do :(
We are working on adding another (separate) payment provider, but not sure it's 100% worldwide available either...
So I’m now at course 4 and about to finish it , should I continue? I think the certificate will increase my chances getting a job
The certificate itself - not really. So many people have it it makes maybe 1% difference.
If you're at part 4 and want to finish, do another course on UI (either mine or someone else's or even just from TH-cam tutorials) before you go into course 5 so you'll learn some better UI practices - what's in 5 is really not that good compared to 1-4
@@MalewiczHype thanks I appreciate it but before i take the course i have designed some designs in figma of course by copying others so i should learn ui right after course 4?
Nice video i had 5 years experience in vfx and im interested in ui/ux design as i love designing and solving problems can i switch to ui/ux now and my vfx experience considered here and me realising was very late I'm 30 now can i switch or not
With any visual skills it will be a lot easier for y ou to get good at UI and this is the best path to start so I'd say go for it!
This is partly true, but the Google ux Certificate teaches the basics of how to start as a UX designer
I will like to join your community
And also can I get the link to your UI course?
My UI courses are at hype4academy.gumroad.com
as for the link you need to email me or DM on Twitter to get it :)
can me get the discount ?
Hello, Do you think following this course as a Web Dev Can be useful in my carreer
Not really, maybe in some big orgs. In reality it's best to learn UI design fundamentals (for example from my courses) as a web developer - way more useful :)
Thank you but what about those want to be freelancer ? You recommend the same path ? 🤔
If you just want to freelance ui design or simple ui plus coding then just practice ui. No need for the ux course.
@@MalewiczHype I thank you for your answer and your reactivity. I ask this because some clients think that if we know how to make UI it means that we know UX design.
I had taken your course "the complete guide: UI in mobile apps". Do you think it's enough or do you have to take the one you advise in your video?
If you took that particular course you should be ready to design most kinds of apps for most clients. Of course it's good to practice app design daily in general, but it's a great starting point :)
@@MalewiczHype thank you for this clarification :)
How can I join the slack group?

Hi! Can you help me with an invitation on Slack?
You need to either email me or DM on Twitter for that :-)
@@MalewiczHype I don't have a Twitter account but I found your email address in the youtube account and send an email. Thank you!
Before i watch: I've already signed up for this so please say it's alright… 😂
over half of it is really good :)
@@MalewiczHype ibm or Google? Edit: i cannot seem to find ibm anymore…! maybe taken down?
I haven't seen a course by IBM, only their design system.
@@MalewiczHype it was there on Coursera not a few weeks back 🤔
Personal Opinion here: The memes are not fitting into your videos. You have a calm voice and serious topics. Those gifs of some random tv series memes are just weird and really don't add anything helpful. Maybe you want to loosen up the atmosphere, then I would suggest working on the way you speak :) You have a great voice for videos like this
It seems that you direct your efforts and your interests to be first in the results by criticizing Google from an apparently neutral perspective. All training adds up. every search adds up. for now it is giving you results, but you will always be found more by criticism than by contribution. It's a shame, because after watching your other videos I realize that you can also contribute from other sides than criticism.
Hey, I understand why you may feel this way but I don't consciously criticize - I actually think (and say it almost always) that the Google course is the best value for the money and most of it is really good quality.
I do criticize their UI part because it actually is of lower quality, not because I want more click for criticizing - I want people to learn to make good UI :)
The google UX course is so painfully boring and not useful at all
maybe because ux itself is quite boring 😂
