I really enjoyed this course! I didn’t know about design thinking, I just heard about it and thought it was fantastic.
The many ideas emerge was wonderful experience, thanks a lot!
Trixy Xu –
Clear and easy to understand! Just wished that the actual case study for the preflight experience was also illustrated in this course, so we can see what to work out a sample case study (besides doing the activity on our end).

Sometimes the most obvious things, if given in a structure that the brain understands, can be meaningful. For me, this course was something that shaped my thinking as a software architect, from solutions that I need to come up with to solutions that need to emerge from the users they intend to serve. Introverts like me need a bit of insight like this course to venture out a little and explore the unknown. During this course, I discovered another novel approach to a problem I applied design thinking to. Thank you and very well delivered by all 3 of the presenters.

Relevant content delivered at an appropriate pace and manner. I am a hands on person, so I appreciate the opportunity to work a use case to apply what I heard as I was learning.

Creo que es útil para quienes nunca trabajaron con este tipo de metodologías, fácil de seguir y proponer actividades me parece una gran idea.
Nino Stephen Mathew –
Now this was a really insightful course! Now I feel a lot more confident in working on my products while understanding the end users. I surely recommend this course to anyone who wants to get into design thinking.
Justin Clark –
It would be great to have an automated / interactive test. Going offline and getting back into the program is a tough transition when breaking up the course throughout multiple days.
Jennifer Lam –
This is a great starter class about design thinking. I was looking for something more advance but overall this is a great beginner video.

Course content was fine. But issue was the system, which often couldn’t detect the completion of each module. I ended up repeating the modules several times, spending many wasted hours.
Willem van Gerwen –
I find the approach in this course too idealistic for my liking. In the real world, there are business constraints and technical constraints which undermine the possibilities for what we come up with in the “What if”s and explorations. Although I appreciate that having too narrow a scope will limit the ingenuity of the final product, I find the approach here a little bit unrealistic.
Lakshmi Subramaniam –
Good introduction to what design thinking is all about. Especially with the exercise, and how they tie it all together.
Shoaib Zaman –
Some of the pointers mentioned are brilliant and though I have intutively felt so but was never able to articulate it.
