UI for UX designers

Created 1 day ago

Overall, I am very satisfied with the course. The content is well organized and provides the most important information when working on UI. I am very dissatisfied with mentoring since despite some statements about objects positioning was quite useless. I think you should consider the curriculum of the student before proceeding to assign a mentor in a random way.

Pros

Content and information are well organized.

Cons

Mentoring programme was really poor. Random assignment can work with students without prior experience but not with working professionals.
