In the hour-long, free webinar, Gavin Lew, Executive Vice President at GfK User Centric, will give current students, recent graduates and young user experience professionals insight and practical perspectives on user experience (UX) research from his 20 years of experience in academic and corporate environments. Lew will discuss four beneficial lessons in crafting a complete user experience, measuring usability, collecting and interpreting complex data, and designing interfaces for the end-to-end user experience.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 30, at noon CDT. Interested professionals can register at http://www.usercentric.com/webinars/ux-research-what-they-dont-teach-you-grad-school.
"User experience research is part art and all science," said Lew.

Ultimately, it's about sound methods to get us where we need to go."
