UX Research Fundamentals
A foundations course in UX research: the difference between qualitative and quantitative, attitudinal and behavioral evidence, how to choose and run interviews, surveys, and contextual inquiry without bias, and how to analyze, triangulate, and report findings into recommendations stakeholders actually act on.
By the end of this course you can plan, run, analyze, and report a complete small research study end to end: framing a real decision, choosing methods deliberately, recruiting without bias, running honest interviews or surveys, triangulating findings, and delivering a specific recommendation while avoiding research theater, shelf-ware reports, and answering yesterday's question.
