37 PointsNot a fan of the new ux techdegree
My biggest gripe is getting rid of the classes such as information architecture and the design classes that were thete before. With so many places looking for ux/ui designers that do both, I feel these classes were important.

When I expand the activities section, none of these courses are there.
Megan Amendola
Treehouse TeacherAh! I see the confusion. The activities ≠ courses :) The activities are some of the things you will practice and accomplish in each unit. For example, in unit 1, it states "perform critiques" which is an example of something you will practice in this unit but the course to learn how to critique designs is called Design Criticism which is in unit 1. This page does not list out every course in the Techdegree, it is listing out the activities you will do/complete in each unit.
You can start a free trial of the UX Techdegree to see all of the courses it has or list them out here and I can let you know what units those courses are in. :)

37 PointsIve sent for the syllabus too but still hasnt been emailed to me. Tried like six times too.
Megan Amendola
Treehouse TeacherI sent you over a link to the syllabus document myself to the email that is attached to your account. :)
I did test the "download syllabus" button to make sure it was working and I did receive an email, so it may have ended up in your junk/social/promotions areas of your inbox.

37 PointsYou have the old syllabus then. Because the one Im looking at online does not have this course, design criticism, etc anymore.
Megan Amendola
Treehouse TeacherCan you post a link to the syllabus you're looking at? Design criticism is still in unit 1 in the new TD and information architecture is in unit 6. In the previous version, IA was in unit 8.
