The Design of Everyday Things

I’m taking a course on Udacity, called “Intro to the Design of Everyday Things” by Professor Dan Norman.

I think that anyone interested in product management should at least consider taking a design course to improve their understanding of user experience, and to build empathy for users who may be unlike themselves.

As for the course, it’s a two-week long program, and requires up to 7 hours of your time per week. I’m not sure of the implications of taking it along with school, and with the app I’m currently building; however, I really want to learn and I think I can manage my time without having to compromise on academics. I’ll let you know how it goes.
