Took me from novice to expert in a couple of hours. I'm moderating a usability study in the next couple of days and this course has prepared me thoroughly

No geral, o curso oferece uma introdução sólida aos conceitos fundamentais de pesquisa UX. No entanto, sinto que ele não aprofunda aspectos importantes como análise heurística, análise de concorrência, ou o uso de ferramentas e recursos para uma boa pesquisa online. Para quem já possui algum conhecimento na área, como é o meu caso, o curso parece básico demais.
Uma sugestão para a Domestika seria incluir opções de cursos de nível intermediário, que explorassem metodologias mais avançadas.
