Fantastic instructor who covers many elements not covered in my previous courses. Would purchase his courses again.

The instructor is difficult to understand. I tried the subtitles, but they are even more difficult to understand as they are in double dutch! Just going through the tools at the moment and it is disjointed and too long taken for each tool. It looks like this is turning into a graphic design course at the moment, I think I will struggle to take in anything as the instructor appears to have no joined up approach to mastering publisher. Sorry I chose this course.

at present I am getting used to the accent. I am usually good at it and i hope in time it will not be a hinderance

Presented a lot of information regarding the tools and use of the program. Sometimes I lost concentration because overwhelmed with dense info. Very much enjoyed the training projects and working along with the instruction, left at the end of the course. I would suggest that rather than at the end, spread projects between sections so that we can practice what we were learning about the application.

I wasnt expecting the teacher to have a heavy Frencg accent. Sometimes its hard to ubderstand what he is saying. Its good though, it makes me go back and do things multiple times so i get it down and learn it better.

This course digs into the tools available in the software Serif Affinity and it has some examples and practices to apply what you've learned, it is perfect if you want to cover the most of what this software is capable to doing. On the other hand I needed it to learn this tool because I did not want to use Adobe.

I took the another 2hr Intro to Publisher. I chose this course, as a follow-up, to have more time instruction time.

Me interesaba tener un curso más formal en el uso de este software. Con lo cual el curso cumple aunque creo que hay características más avanzadas que deja de lado. Por otra parte aunque el inglés no es mi idioma nativo si que es difícil entender su acento. Y también creo que no está muy ordenado que digamos ya que hace bastantes ejercicios repetitivos.

I did learn about the program and its functions, which was the main intention. But I found the course to be a slightly low key. It could have been done with student activities and interaction. Most of the time the course just drones on monotonously. But still its quite a comprehensive course on the functionalities of the Publisher program. So its my mission accomplished.

This is an artistically thorough, well paced course. It is great for beginners or someone refreshing their knowledge like me. There are many sections so if later you need help on a particular skill you can just pop back in and watch a short section. The presenter is very skilled at showing how to make some quite good presentations simply and with minimal effort. If I had any complaints there would be three. The actual pace of the lessons was perfect but the instructor sometimes talks very quickly. At times I reduced the speed to 75% to overcome this issue but it is quite a minor issue. The second is that the resources are all individual files rather than being in a folder which makes it tedious to download them. For most of the class I just used my own photos without any trouble. My third negative is that the course does an incredible job explaining how to be artistic with the program but only addresses how to place filler text and does not ever address flowing actual text files into the fields and making it flow correctly. In n my opinion this needs to be added to the course which would bring it to five stars. One thing is clear, the instructor knows the material and has a lot of skill handling the program. I do highly recommend this course and will watch for other classes by this same instructor.
