This four-week course will cover a selection of user research methods, 
including user interviews, observational studies, card sorting and A/B 
testing, that can be used to answer questions not typically answered 
through usability testing. In this course, you will learn the strengths 
and limitations of each type of study, the kinds of questions each can 
answer, and how to design these types of studies. You will consider good 
practices when interviewing and how to design and collect information 
through observational studies, card sorting activities, and A/B tests. 
We will also consider how best to follow up on what you learn through 
your studies in order to improve online interfaces or services.

This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our 
Certificate in User Experience (UX), but can be taken as a stand-alone 
course as well.
