Why take this course?

Learning a complex program like Autodesk AutoCAD can seem like a daunting task at first. I’m here to try and break down the the various functions and tools of this drafting software into its essential and fundamental parts. Luckily for us, a majority of the skills required to use AutoCAD only require you to use a small percentage of the available commands and just a bit of imagination. I’ll first be showing you how to use these fundamental commands to try and get you working in the shortest amount of time possible while trying to distill useful tricks of the trade. This course will help guide your learning through exercises, supplemental documents, and video instruction.

Very straightforward. Useful. Lots of little tips I wouldn't have known. I find it optimal to watch at 1.75x speed, then stop the video and try out parts myself. I spent time looking for the referenced documents and couldn't find them - perhaps clarify in an early video that we don't have the documents anywhere?

The course was a good reminder for some basic skills I learnt in the past but allowed me to develop them and learn new skills. Section 11 plotting would have been good had thee been a tutorial. Other useful things would have been a tutorial in setting up your own Autocad to match the instructors.

Excellent course, concise, well thought out, instructor was very clear in his explanations. One negative thing was I did not receive all the files he pulled up so had to reasonably reconstruct them in order to follow the instructions.

Very informative, great introductory course. Lecture 11 - Plotting was missing along with some of the drawing examples for section 8. Otherwise great quality.

The detailed descriptions of various commands were very helpful. The instructor seemed at times to be eating or have something in his mouth while talking and that was distracting. Overall the quality was adequate, not exceptional as in a Photoshop course I'm taking. I did learn some additional capabilities of the various commands and that was helpful. I never figured out how to download the course materials.

I could learn what has been taught so far much faster simply by reading the tooltips. There is almost no additional information given beyond such explanations similar to "this is the line tool, if you click the line tool it will draw a straight line, etc.." I found some youtube videos by Scott Onstott and those are great, I wish I had spent my time watching those instead...

Well put together course that provides insight into alot of features in AutoCAD. Travelled a little slow in places but I have had prior experience with other CAD programs. Would serve an absolute beginner with little knowledge of other CAD programs. The repetition of actions ensures that students remember how to repeat commands completed within the course. Cheers.
