The definition of a positive experience is arbitrary and varies between individuals or situations. For this reason, understanding your user is essential to the user experience design process. Even if we can only sometimes determine what constitutes a good user experience, some standards and principles can help us and serve as a guide for good UX/UI design.
User experience (UX) design is how customers interact with a website, app, or product. UX design accepts that we must design for the experience, not the aesthetic.
User Interface (UI) design is a technique designers use to create user interfaces in software or electronic devices with a focus on aesthetics or style.
The user interface (UI) refers to the look rather than the function of a website or product. Put another way: while UX is a process of understanding what a user wants and feels, the UI is the result — the digital product developed to deliver a service or product to a user.
A solid understanding is a foundation for success. Don't hesitate to ask what you don't know!
imho year-by-year every passing class should be given an opportunity to give feedback to their school's/teacher's course execution - what they liked? what they didn't like? any suggestions to improve or make it better?
