I had an excellent experience learning through ELVTR with Rachel Guthrie, Data Analysis in Finance. Rachel gave great support and instructions and tons of extra resources to dive into the various tools. This new skills allowed me to access new project and further my enhanced my presentation skills.

Andy is fantastic and I learned a lot in the course! The value of the course is pretty expensive, and I have more wants regarding that. First of all, lifetime access should be given for updates in the information provided, at the very least access to the slideshows in case there are updates for that. This isn't a credited course, so there isn't a benefit to redoing the full course if you already have the certificate, but it's a relatively new course that will be refined. People who have already done it should have access to the improvements in order to properly compete with other online courses. The certificate itself is a bit lacking in appearance, and should at the least have a signature on it. Probably from Andy to verify that he approves it and taught it. Also a little bit of knowledge on what is entailed in the course on the cerificate would be an asset since most employers viewing this have no idea what the course is about as well. Like key points stuff, like "this certificate shows that this person learned how to plan a roadmap, adjust to critical decision making," etc. Also due to how expensive the course is, having a possibility of failure if you don't do well in it and not having any way to make that up and not be able to receive the certificate as well is very punishing and goes against the ideal of Andy's course that is to have a safe space in order for students to make mistakes in a safe environment. It makes the course more punishing for people brand new to the industry and it's unfair to them when they're investing in their future through ELVTR. Please find some work-around to this, such as being able to have extra credit assignments or being able to re-do assignments to up the grade. For the positive side, communication with ELVTR and Andy was very easy. The introductory stuff on how to use google classroom was effective and the slideshows were very clean. I very much appreciated being able to have recordings of the classes to review as well. It's a well-structured course. I just expected more from an online course an I believe that ELVTR has the ability to improve in terms of value for investment and fairness. If it had this, I would be much more likely to enroll in future ELVTR courses and recommend them to others. I currently don't want to recommend a course that might take over $1000 from you (esp due to the exchange rate whereas I'm Canadian) and have a possibility of giving you no certificate for your investment.

Andy is a very enthusiastic teacher. He obviously really enjoys sharing his knowledge and meeting people interested in what he does. Coursework is challenging. You should probably have a decent handle on the game development process before you take this course.

I like how the course provided content that tried to frame UX Design as you would in the real world (e.g. with constraints, tackling one thing at a time etc.). I also like that there were a lot of different resources provided. I have taken other courses that make everyone do a small subset of projects so I like how here, we all did different projects that we were interested in. This also helped to differentiate what we include in our portfolio vs. having everyone's projects from the course all look the same. I thought Hang was also a great instructor and was very thoughtful. I think the pace of the course was quite fast because it was twice a week with an assignment coming out of each class and most people were balancing it with school or work. I think spreading it out over 12 full weeks would have made it a better pace. I also liked that each assignment had feedback but more feedback would also have been helpful given we spent a lot of time on the assignments. More opportunities for students to interact with each other could also have been fun.

The class was great. love the course and have learn a lot.Instructor Bharath was awesome. I will definitely be interested in any course with Bharath.

Great information. The only thing I did not like was that the instructor Bharath did not update at least 2 assignments so that we can turn them in. I like being able to do assignments so that I know that I am learning something.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Valerie's training. She has provided great insight in Product manager role and guided in Product Pitch. This is a Plus to the course. Thank you Valerie and ELVTR team!
