The Emotional Design and Engagement course was a solid addition to my education. I found the lectures to be well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theoretical concepts and practical applications. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, covering topics such as user experience, cognitive psychology, and design thinking. While I would have liked to see more emphasis on emerging trends and technologies, I appreciated the focus on fundamental principles and timeless concepts. One area where I saw significant improvement was in my ability to create user personas and journey maps, which has been invaluable in my work as a product manager. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to improve their understanding of emotional design.
