I decided to spend the time I would have spent on a blog (trying to write ahead) updating the class list I have. I went back over the last couple years and figured out who taught it, link to where I took the class, and notes on the venue. It has only taken me over a year to add this first part of the data.
Holy cats have I taken alot of classes!
I will have to add some sort of review system to them. I think part of my block on writing reviews is that I know that classes are so subjective. Something I found terrible others may love. Something I loved others may dislike.
What I found interesting was when I opened the first lesson or intro, I either had a thumbs up, thumbs down, or ‘did I really take this class?’ response. I even rediscovered teachers I’d forgotten I liked. I tended to find a teacher and take whatever I could find of theirs.
I also tended to like classes where there was lot of interaction with the teacher. i.e. I could ask questions and see other question responses from other students. My favorite classes were direct feedback on whatever I was writing. The videos with no interaction were by far my least favorite.
I also noticed how things have changed. Like yahoo groups is no longer active. Some of the teachers teach through multiple platforms. So they may not teach in the venue I took them through. I decided to stick with documenting how I had taken the class.
The other thing I hadn’t thought about was that the class link/information disappeared once the class was over There were few classes with ‘forever’ access. That seems to be a more recent thing.
Any feedback on the updates? Or have you taken any classes you liked?
What an amazing resource! I’ll be looking through this for sure
Thanks teuliano!
Have you ever taken a course through Udemy or Coursera? Back in the day I took courses from them and they were OK.
