Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives

The objective of this course is to be a vehicle that helps students transition from the mindset of a design student to a working professional. By the end of this course, the students will have studied and been evaluated on how to visually and verbally communicate their work at the level of an individual new to their design career. Students will also have curated and refined previous projects, along with a UX design portfolio consisting of work developed in previous courses.

What you’ll learn to do by the end of this course:

  • Identify skills outside of visual design that are increasingly demanded of UX Designers.
  • Develop the story of your goals as a Designer.
  • Able to articulate the skills and experience you have that apply to UX jobs.
  • Research and formulate a strategy to achieve your career goals.
  • Craft a compelling UX portfolio.
  • Create an effective case study.
  • Develop UX interviewing skills.
