COURSE RATING & COMMENTS


 

“10/10 It was a very fun course and I learned a lot in just a few weeks! I am excited to make more things in After Effects and was so glad to learn how to use the program!”


 

The course's rating out of 1000000/10. You made the class so fun and explained everything perfectly. You had a perfect energy and I was always so excited to work on projects for this class and to go to class! The only issue I had was that sometimes the audio was laggy or the video was blurry but that doesn't really matter. ”

 

The class has to be a solid 12/10. The engagement between you and the class was great. Some jokes here and there made it seem like it wasn't a class. You stopped to help those in need and did a good job leading everyone through what you could.”

 

This class was very fun! I remember during the first class, I was a bit overwhelmed and thought I would never be able to use Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects to make projects that I am proud of because it seemed complicated. However, during every class, your pace and the time you used to make sure everything was okay on our side really helped me to understand those softwares. Also, I appreciated the freedom your class allowed us to have. You really made this class dynamic and extremely enjoyable; even if it was a night class, it didn't feel like one at all! Thank you so much for this semester!!”
