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!

Great course structure. Great Professors and Mentors. This course has really help me grow a lot as a photographer. I'm so thankful to Coursera & MSU for putting such a great course for learners.

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!)

I liked this course a lot, but not as much as the first part (and hopefully next parts). Again, it's a good course for the beginners, but this part seemed a bit too short. However, teachers are great and explanations are very clear - if you are a beginner in your photography, I highly recommend!

Even though it's the second course in the specialization, it is still an introductory course, a great option to learn about the details of camera control and to improve or review basic techniques. This is also a challenging course, you will start to test your own boundaries.

I discovered this course thanks to my school. I'm deducting 1 point because after two courses in this course, despite the free trial my school gave me, the course starts to charge me money, it's a shame, I think anyone who wants this course should be able to access it.

Great course on photography although it was shorter than the 1st one. How I wish there were lectures on how to set your DSLR (ISO, shutter speed, f stop) to achieve the pictures you want for fast or slow shutter speed and shallow or great depth of field.

Great introduction course to photo exposure techniques using ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. The course on depth of field was short and felt a bit rushed so I suggest using a supplemental text book or online resources during the section.

Great information and very practical. Unfortunately the grades of the homework are given by AI which is not accurate. AI gives very low score for no reason even when the pictures submitted are clear.

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?

Excellent information, presented clearly and concisely. Peer review quality is mediocre at best, but other an excellent course.

I have learned more about photography in the short few weeks than I have studying by myself in much more time. Great course.

It was interesting but the videos are kind of time consuming and boring... The overall is good though.

Mark shows a lot of his work but sometimes doesn't explain the how or purpose behind the photo
