    Although I did the free version, I have to say that it is a super easy, well laid out introduction to design thinking... Makes you buy lots of books and go in to researching the tools though :-)

    Thanks! I will definitely come back for certification...

    WOW, This course is great. It builds me more confidence in what I do in product development. As a teacher, I am going to share the same experience in my class. Innovation should be user-centric and that makes being a designer so inspiring. Thank you.

    The course content and material was very well put together and enabled a well paced learning within the provided duration. However I'd suggest that the assignment gets some more information early on as if it is left too late the time may be limited.

    In the limited course time available, Professor Liedtka and others such as Prof. Hesse delivered a well-planned, passionate and inspiring overview of the use of Design Thinking. The real-world case studies were also helpful and thought-provoking.
