Pros: this class had good module content and learning Figma was cool. It did some of the things 361 tried doing but much better. The courseload was pretty light - I clocked 68 hours total. Cons: I'm just not a big fan of big group work assignments and this class has too much for my taste. There's also a good amount of paper assignments.

It's a very easy course with no programming. It focuses a lot on research and theory. It's a very well thought out course. Just make sure you get a group with a simple yet fun design idea.

Note: This course is more focused on UI/UX research and theory than teaching you UI/UX design guidelines. Very interesting and worth while if you know what you're getting yourself into. Have in mind your Minimum Viable Product and break your ideas into concrete features that you can iterate and build. Coordinate, delegate, and set expectations early. Understand the assignment requirements and check against them. Have somebody be the project manager, and utilize discord/a group chat to coordinate. Learn Figma on your own. Hann Scott is an amazing instructor who really cares and keeps the modules updated and interesting.

Very easy but very enjoyable. Hann Scott's rebuild has turned the modules for this class into the best I've seen in the program. You definitely get out what you put in. You can make this a nothing class or put some time in and learn some interesting concepts.

Even though this was my first quarter with OSU (transferred in), I'm pretty sure this has to be the easiest class out there. Most of the work is writing paragraphs and sketching on Figma. Workload is about 3 to 8 hours a week. If you have a good group, class is super easy, if you have a bad group, class is still pretty easy. Don't this class if you want to get your money's worth learning, but if you need an easy A or filler, don't hesistate to take it

Don't take this class in summer: it requires a lot of group work, and many of your classmates will think Summer == Vacation, so you will be stuck completing most of the assignments on tight deadlines while your group members ghost you. Otherwise, interesting, relevant course material. Hann Scott is the most engaged instructor I've had at OSU. I think this course would improve by requiring more prerequisites, such as SWE I, so that students would come to it with more experience of group projects.

Other students often recommend taking this class for an easy A, which means most people in the class do not seem to care about putting in any effort. The grading is very lenient, and a lot of students end up doing the bare minimum. If you care at all about the quality of your work, but don't want to carry an entire group project on your back, avoid this class. You can learn usability engineering on Youtube (like everything else in the program).

This class is so fun, just be sure to communicate clearly with your group and things should go smoothly.

Not much coding, a lot of group work and writing. Maybe the easiest class I’ve taken but my group was pretty good.
