I found it very useful to me till now although I haven't completed all the lessons but so far it's really fantastic

The course was really good, until it has reached the final two chapters - 13 and 14. At the end of Chapter 13 the instructor started running fast without allowing following him and then, in chapter 14 it became totally unclear, starting from the discovery, that the resource file is not the same the instructor uses. Completely disappointed!!!

To fast for all the information given. It would be helpful if I had a vocabulary list for each chapter prior to seeing each video. Being an introduction course, meaning the student has not heard of many of the vocabulary the instructor utilizes.

I'm sure it's better than average, but as a true beginner with no experience. I am very confused. I need a course to walk me through it in simple layman's term. Thank you

Yes and no. I can't see where his cursor is moving on some things and the first words in the lesson are cut off.

The instructor guides you through the learning process step by step. Also he points out tools and shortcuts throughout the course. That helps a lot remembering them. Great course!

Nicely organized and explained thus far. The content is very good.The use of a magnifier is helpful, but dragging it fast while speaking is annoying and made me dizzy! Please slow down the movement so one can better follow. The title of the lesson appears on the upper left of the screen and obliterates the menu bar, which makes it very difficult to see. All that being said, I would definitely take another course from Chris Parker because he knows this product very well! There is a HUGE emphasis on streamlining your workflow by using shortcuts, and I highly recommend that if you take this course, to start implementing these keyboard shortcuts.It is difficult for me to go from a Mac for 30 years to a PC, but the shortcuts should help some. I hope!

The course would have been better if the instructor had engaged the students by getting them started with a file right from the first section. Too many details at the beginning, without any experiential knowledge, will simply bore the student. Not impressed!

This course is providing me with some in-depth explanations that I have not fully understood before. I learned for a couple textbooks in college some years back. I don't think we had so many new tools back then. Learn Illustrator CC is taking me to a new level of training.

Great for gaining knowledge on all the tools, quick tips, and shortcuts. There could be a few additional lessons on combining the different tools to make an overall illustration.

This course has given me the confidence and foundation to create designs in Illustrator. I’m no longer scared to use the pen tool anymore. I have learned more than I have anticipated. Thank you, Chris!

I appreciate the value of each lesson and the pace, given that I am completely new to this. So far, it seems genuinely good.

very understandable information presented in easy to digest increments, plus being able to follow along in the downloadable document makes me really feel like i'm absorbing the information well

Poorly organized. There's an introduction for every thing. Seven lectures before you're at the introduction for the basics and then the lectures are titled things like "You don't want to skip this". Why? There should be information there, not clickbait.
