Seeing Through Photographs has given me a whole new way of looking at my own and other peoples' work. So many aspects, details and points of view, the world of photography now seems even more amazing.

Coursera gives me a platform to explore new skills. I was able to experience education from world-renowned universities without losing out on career opportunities.

I felt like this course was kind of disjointed. As an educator with some experience in museum education, I wonder whether this was created by the curatorial department with minimal or no guidance from education. Some of the required readings were lengthy and bombastic. It's almost as if course creators said, let's see what we have to work with, and try to find some relationships between the hodgepodge. I understand the importance of sometimes having to use readings from the specific time period of an artwork to put it in context, but again, I feel like there could have been better exemplars of both photographs and readings. The module where photographs of the moon were the "theme" just seemed like it didn't belong. I did acquire new knowledge through this course, but the format was just not for me.

Vastly concerned with the esoteric minutia, ideas, and meanings assigned by others regarding photographs which most often aren't even closely aligned with the original artist's intentions.
A brief few mentions of how photography has changed over time with advances in technology and development of new techniques was mildly interesting, otherwise this course was predominantly meaningless. This course will most likely be of no benefit to people not viewing or creating fine art photography.

abstract and uninformative stories about some photographersbut not about the profession of the photographer or the technical side of the work
Thank you for the opportunity to get acquainted with the course

I hoped that it was more professional, It was interesting but non technical.

Boring

Don't waste your time and money on this, surely Coursera has other better photography courses. Videos of 2/3minutes, and lots of boring reading. Overall, they want you to buy MoMa books, the videos are short and yet make you sleep and they are so boring I don't even know how to describe it. I am a fine art photographer and came here looking for inspiration, ideas and knowledge, but instead, got bored to death. Buy good photography books, it's going to be much better.

Shouldn't lead people into working hard and long to complete a course only to "force" them to subscribe to finish for certificate - that is not a good practice!
Allow them to finish and then choose to purchase the certificate but do not make them surrender credit card information to get it - that is very very wrong!!!
Pick better photographers to feature, the early lessons were okay but it got worse towards the end!

This course sounded so interesting. It was however not well organized and had too great a time commitment attached to it. The readings were too long. I ended up giving up.
