The content of the CAMERA CONTROL course is exceptionally good, especially if you put the time and effort into really practicing the concepts laid out. The course pushes you to set intentions about the kind of photos you want to create, and then challenges you to go out and create those photos using the various technical concepts that are taught each week. If you want to do well, really do your best to take a lot of photos related to each concept. For example, when learning how depth of field works, I encourage you to setup your camera in one place and take a shot at each aperture setting (that is, one shot at f1.8, one at f2, another at f4, f8, f11, f16, and f22), so that you can see how the depth of field in the scene changes. Too many projects seem to get submitted where this isn't done, and it's unfortunate, because then you don't learn. Also, when submitting a project, I wish people would make sure they carefully read what's asked for in terms of the writeups. Some have you do a short one or two sentences before you start the project, and then tie in the last few sentences to how you went about meeting the intentions that were behind those first few sentences. Most projects ask you to relay the technical settings you choose to make your photo and describe how those settings impacted the image you created. Many people didn't do that either. So read each part carefully. One other thing that might be an issue for some is the language barrier - when I took the course, a lot of Spanish speaking students were submitting work and writing in Spanish, which is okay - I was able to screenshot the work and there are websites and apps that will translate the langagues in the screenshot. I then used Google Translate to write my response to the submission and I hope it helped the other Spanish speaking learners. But then, with my own work, when it was reviewed by people who don't speak English - I found that they would just write one word responses. So if you are reading this, and thinking about taking this course, note that you might need to do that. Luckily you don't have to know what language is written for these translation programs, they seem very good at detecting what's been written and it will tell you if it was Spanish, or French, etc.

Over all the class was great and I learned new things and tried techniques I have always wanted to use but didn't know how. I really wish there was a way to see all the of the submissions for the peer review once we have handed our assignment in and have finished reviewing the minimum requirement. I think a lot can be learned by seeing how everyone else in the class interpreted the assignment. It would be fun to see what everyone else photographed.

The course was very interesting I learnt a lot of new things but I have to point out several important problems. Some videos have very low audio so it's imposible to understand them without using an speaker or headphones. Also Prof. Glendinning was awesome very motivating, creative and passionating but Prof. Valentine voice was so monotonous and depresing that I really wanted to quit this course many times.

This course is great. You learn a lot. The teachers are amazing. BUT, hardly nobody is reviewing the assignments. It's very frustrating to do your assignment and have to wait many days for getting a grade or even a certificate because not enough people are reviewing the assignments. Many students had the same concern. Otherwise, the course is great.

Great course that explains a lot of core concepts and techniques (like controlling depth of field). Also gives a great introduction to the different types of lenses available. My only criticism would be that the last two weeks are lighter on content (however the assignments are challenging and a lot of fun!)
