    About the Course

    This is a course aimed at making you a better designer. The course marries theory and practice, as both are valuable in improving design
    performance. Lectures and readings will lay out the fundamental concepts that underpin design as a human activity. Weekly design challenges
    test your ability to apply those ideas to solve real problems. The course is deliberately broad - spanning all domains of design, including
    architecture, graphics, services, apparel, engineered goods, and products. The emphasis of the course is the basic design process: define,
    explore, select, and refine. You, the student, bring to the course your particular interests and expertise related to, for instanc...

    An excellent course. The process from A to Z of designing an artifact was just amazing. I feel like I learned a lot in this course. It's a great course for anyone looking for learn more in this field.

    Thank you teacher!I have seen the world with different eyes after participating in this course: more curious and always ready to find gaps and think of a way to improve the design problem.

    I liked the course more than I expected! the professor is amazing with bringing the information. I think it's really helpful that he kept the same example going on through the whole course so we can see all the changes and developments in his own prototype so we can compare and learn.

    Sometimes I think their are too many unnecessary details, or that it took so long to get to the point. But overall the course is very interesting for everyone who is interested in designing products or artifacts as he likes to call them.

    The course period is a little but long, but the videos length is good, not too long not too short.

    I'm new to the online courses thing, and I'm considered young to those topics but I found it quite beneficial!

    A very interesting course for an introduction to industrial/product design. It carries you from what specific problem you want to find solution to (it could be very simple), up to developing an artifact that can address the stated problem. It could be so demanding also since it requires you to interview people, come up with numerous drawings, make several prototypes, and you're obliged to make many peer reviews. I think this could be lessen so it will not be a tedious course especially for people who are also working.

    It has all the concepts involved in design and prototyping, has good examples ans some funny moments. I would recomend it to people that really want to learn about the topic, but not to anyone.

    Excellent course as in introduction to design, with clear lectures and assignments. Would be good to have some direct feedback from the course tutor though.

    This class is great until you realize no one is monitoring or grading, which means people like me who paid for this class aren't getting what it's worth. I turned in most of my assignments, and as no one is grading, I keep being told I'm missing dates for the next assignment, which I cannot even submit until I have feedback from the last.

    The course is very disappointing. I am totally dissatisfied. Firstly, there is a lack of clarity in how to teach. Secondly, there is no clear chain of instructions. Thirdly, proper instructions related to assignments are not provided. Lastly, in the first session of the assignment in week 2, there were instructions missing, which were not communicated clearly. Overall, it's a very poorly structured course.
