Reviews

4.5

While doing this job simulation as a student with no experience, I got exposure to what real time work would be like and this simulation helped me grasp an idea of where I need improvement to increase my chance in landing a job. I'm very grateful for getting a chance to understand the job requirements and understand the gap between my skills and the expected requirements.

It was very fascinating to be a part of the simulation and actually work along with it. I had been struggling to structure the research methodology as a self-learner, and this course guided me with the proper terminology and templates. I am truly grateful I found this course. This gave me a glimpse into what I can aspire to work with as a UI/UX Designer.

A perfect beginner's guide to the basics of UX! I loved how short but effective and comprehensive the tasks were and I appreciate the research aspect in this virtual internship as I feel more often then not, research on subject matter of UX / UI design is mainly overlooked. This acted as a primer for me, helping me understand that part of user experience and design, and I really enjoyed it!
