<p>I started the Google UX Design course in Coursera. My goal is to finish this in 100 days. I'm so impressed with how good it is. I finished the course material for the first week today. And here is my review of it!</p>

<p>Before I start the course, I read on <a href="https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=institutions&amp;utm_campaign=gwgsite" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=institutions&amp;utm_campaign=gwgsite">Coursera</a> that over 50K people have registered for the course and I wanted to know more about the first impressions of the participants, but unfortunately after searching on the internet, I couldn't find a lot.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So I decided to start the course myself to get an idea of what it is like. And since I have been impressed after the first day, I thought I'd share it here to motivate others and myself too!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here are my first impressions of the course:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>You will get almost everything twice and you need to understand the things well!</li><li>It's varied between video, reading, and assignments.<gwmw style="display:none;"></li><li>You will get questions while you are watching videos. This is a very good way to make sure that the learner understands what is being said, but also to make you watch the videos with attention!<gwmw style="display:none;"></li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What also impressed me very much are the videos of the employees at google! And especially of Juan! The person who decided to show a profile of an employee who comes from a small village and today is an employee at google, although he doesn't speak perfect English, is Smart!  And  that gives a very good image about google as an employer!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I find the content for the first week incredibly important! I look around me all the time and I always ask myself the question, is this useable, equitable, enjoyable, and useful?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I could notice in the last hours very much to first time, I find, is very good exercise to make every day that with  an app/website/product and compares with another one that offers the same service!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From the material for the first week you will learn:<gwmw style="display:none;"><gwmw style="display:none;"></p>
