The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. The projects are instructional and test you to learn, try, etc. It made me think of new ways to capture images and inspired me to photograph every day!

Lots of great info to help us learn. Be helpful to put more photos to some of the abstract concepts as examples. All in all, been a great course so far and expect it to only get better!

I got a lot out of the videos, quizzes, and taking photographs as assigned. I didn't benefit much from the peer assessments I received. Most of them were superficial and not beneficial.

Nice course. Gives a good overview for beginners.

It would have been better if you show different camera's and their control buttons.

Great content but some very choppy editing which spoils the flow. I'd much rather have longer lessons and less aggressive editing

Same comment as before. Do the professors ever look at the assignments? Can we get feedback from the people teaching the course?
