Very satisfied with the course and the range of topics it covers. Professor Jeanne Leidtka presented the modules with such clarity and skill. Special mention to Professor Ed Hess whose cheerful attitude and thoroughness with the subject put a smile on my face throughout his session. The inclusion of videos from experts across fields of study ranging from design and art to business provided very meaningful insights. As a student from the Advertising domain, I found most of the content applicable to my field of work as well.
Although I found the course material extremely valuable as a student, the assignment and thinking exercises seemed more relevant to working professionals who are already in organizational positions at work and have problems to apply the theories to. For students like me who are still in University and haven't yet started working, application assignments are harder to test out in real-life scenarios within the time-frame of the course.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this course to fellow learners.

I really enjoyed taking the Design Thinking for Innovation course. The video lectures were engaging and well-paced, making it easy to stay focused and interested throughout. The slides used in the presentations were clear and helpful in reinforcing the key concepts. One of the highlights of the course was the use of real company stories – they were vivid and illustrative, which made the theoretical ideas much easier to understand and apply. However, I found the final exam a bit strange. Instead of a traditional test, it was based on peer evaluation, meaning that your grade depended on reviews from other participants you don’t know. While I understand the idea behind collaborative learning, this format felt a bit unreliable and inconsistent at times. Overall, it's a great introduction to design thinking, with high-quality content and useful insights – especially if you're looking to apply innovation techniques in real-world settings.
