The course itself—the content and the way it is taught—is excellent and thought-provoking. I think it's a thorough and well structured introduction to the subject even for people like me who have had prior exposure to many of these elements in an unorganized way. I feel I've learned a lot and made tangible progress by getting to know these fundamentals.

The one big problem here is that the course relies entirely on peer-reviewed assignments (with the occasional automated quiz). You are graded by others like you and have to grade others to pass. I took my part seriously and gave thoughtful comments on other people's work, only to get, in return, nothing more than one-liners, non sequiturs, and on one memorable occasion, a single period (".") inserted by the reviewer in every text box to satisfy the requirement to input text.

Quite obviously, students aren't that keen on reading the guidelines and following them. This could also be due to the fact that it's an elementary course and few have the kind of critical vocabulary that is necessary for giving thoughtful comments on other people's creative work. After several rounds of such reviews I honestly started to lose interest in doing my own assignments as well, since I realized nobody was going to give me valuable feedback on them. On the reviewing side, I even had several cases where other students submitted the wrong kind of file for their own assignments, some of which couldn't be opened and viewed at all.

This course begs for the hands-on presence of actual human staff who would grade the assignments and provide professional feedback that enables the students to make real progress. At the very least, staff should review everything sent in by students to make sure assignments and review actually follow the guidelines and contribute to learning.

It could improve in the use of questionnaires within and during the videos. There are not, and they would be useful. Questionnaires at the end and after many videos is not as effective.

It would be good to ask the students to ask to be aware of making polite and polite corrections when grading and giving opinions about works. Aware that English is not the native language of all participants.

There are no more Spanish subtitles in the rest of the specialized course, for those of us who do not speak English, we can no longer continue. We cannot take the rest of the courses, there are no more Spanish subtitles. It's a shame.

Podría mejorar en el uso de cuestionarios dentro y durante de los videos. No los hay, y serian útiles. Cuestionarios al final y después de muchos videos no es tan efectivo.

Seria bueno pedir a los alumnos que al calificar y dar opiniones sobre trabajos, se pida ser conscientes de hacer correcciones educadas y amables. Conscientes de que el inglés no es el idioma nativo de todos los participantes.

Ya no hay subtítulos en español en el resto del curso especializado, para los que no hablamos inglés, ya no podemos seguir. No podemos tomar el resto de cursos, ya no hay subtítulos en español. Es una pena.

It's great experience. This course is informative. BUT. You won't learn anything about using programs that are needed to complete the course, it's something you need to learn by yourself, so be ready for that. Also, I want to say that peer-graded assignments have their own pros and cons: Judging others helps you understand how graphic design works. When you look at somebody else's work, your mind works a little differently, than when you do your own work. Looking at the works of others is really important, because, in graphic design, the experience of watching other people's works is, I would say, inevitable. However, if we talk about grading (judging), sometimes other students don't really care about your work when they review it. They just write a few sentences without really telling anything that would help to improve your work. But sometimes there are great students that do explain, I think it was not the best idea to make required assignments peer-graded, but who knows.
