User Experience Design Fundamentals (Udemy.com)

The course is highly theoretical and lacks interactive elements, making it difficult to stay engaged; I found the lecture-only format monotonous and struggled to remain focused throughout the content.

The course is very repetitive, maybe the instructor wanted to really get it into our skulls. Some parts are outdated, e.g., domain "content-insight.com" is on sale. Some videos end with a black screen with no audio, weird. But all in all, the ideas are timeless, I've learned a lot. The most interesting thing is that I start to notice good and unreasonable design patterns after going through the course, I can now explain why and suggest improvements. I find that exciting.

yes, liked the part where he talks about prioritising business goals as well, and that as UXD we cannot always just design what best for the users, because if the business does not make money or gets negatively affected, it will also affect the customers. Like the concept of value loop, value going out to the customers/users and the company gets back value in terms of money, cost saved, etc

The most complete and honest UX course I've ever taken. Joe doesn't teach UX as a checklist of tools or trends — he teaches you how to think. He walks you through the 5 planes of UX with real-world examples, memorable analogies, and principles you can apply immediately. The carpenter's glue analogy for information design, Steve Krug's trunk test for navigation, the Florida 2000 ballot to demonstrate the power of alignment — these are lessons that stick with you. Joe has something most instructors don't: real experience and the honesty to tell you that design isn't about you, it's about your user. That perspective runs through the entire course and fundamentally changes how you see design. I took detailed notes on every lesson and ended up with a reference document I use constantly. This course doesn't expire — the principles are timeless because they're grounded in how the human brain works, not whatever framework happens to be trendy this week. If you could only take one UX course in your life, make it this one.

As a first time learner of UX and UI design, both this course and his UI centered course were incredibly helpful and educational. The courses were interesting, fun and easy to understand. Overall i had a great experience with both courses!

I am truly moved by the amount of detailing, sharing of experiences and coverage of finest details that the author has done. It ranks as the best ever in my learning journey.

Perfect content! Sound is better in section 4 and 5. Sections 1-3 are less good in sound I believe. Section 4 about scope is hard to follow and the final exercise is confusing so I came up without a solid understanding of this part (Compare to other sections in this course)

Joe is extremely knowledgable, and The information is presented very well. Great for taking notes. I like the way the Instructor explains each of the slides and bullet points. This course has changed the way I approach design, and inspired me to build from it.

The bigger picture about how user focused design influences how the brand is perceived brings home what I was intuitively thinking about my own passion project. I generally want to position myself as someone credible and knowledgable; This piece helps nail that down more definitively.

It provides a nice overview to what we should do and analyse, but i feel that there's a lack of practical exercises and comparison in real life scenarios to provide a more immersive learning. Most of the graphical content is still being shown for iOS and Android version of 10+ years ago and this kind of content should be updated.
