Our review


Overall Course Rating: 4.45/5

Course Review Summary:

The course has been met with positive reception overall, with a majority of recent reviews praising its clarity and practicality. Students have found the course beneficial for learning new techniques in Solid Edge and enhancing their existing skills. However, some concerns regarding video quality, clarification on certain concepts, and the presentation of software information have been noted.

Pros:

  • Real-World Application: Many reviewers appreciated the practical tricks and tips provided, which they found immediately applicable to their work in Solid Edge.
  • Clarity of Concepts: The core concepts were deemed clear and beneficial by the majority of students, making complex ideas easier to understand.
  • Innovative Approach: The course's approach to showing the workflow from parts to assembly and the improvements made was highly praised for its innovative teaching style.
  • Comprehensive Content: Some reviewers mentioned that the course effectively cleared up confusion they had from other study materials, particularly in relation to the Solid Edge Engineering Students Study Guide.
  • Engaging Instruction: The instructor's way of explaining concepts was generally considered good, with one student specifically mentioning the great job done.

Cons:

  • Video Editing: Some students noted abrupt video cuts that could potentially improve with smoother transitions.
  • Software Mention: At least one reviewer pointed out that the software used in the lectures was not mentioned, which might be confusing for new learners.
  • Dimensions and Instructions Clarity: There were concerns about the clarity of dimensions and instructions for different parts, which could lead to confusion among students.
  • Drafting Quality: A draftsman highlighted poor quality in drafting, noting too many features in synchronous technology that were not well explained. This issue was also flagged by another reviewer who recommended improvements to the drafts, particularly in a project involving a boat.
  • Lack of Detail in Mechanism and Motion: One student felt that there was room for more detailed explanation regarding the mechanism and motion, as well as alignment when making a boat.

Additional Feedback:

  • Alignment Issues: One reviewer noted that the author introduced changes in the model without explaining these in the critical final phase of the project.
  • Practical Experience: A student mentioned that the course provided an interesting experience and allowed them to perform some tasks in Solid Edge better than before.
  • Software Focus: It was suggested that there could be a lecture dedicated to explaining the mechanism and motion, as well as the alignment of making a boat more clearly.

In Summary: The course has been a valuable resource for many students looking to improve their skills in Solid Edge. While the content is largely clear and practical, there are opportunities for improvement in terms of video editing, software mention, drafting clarity, and detail in some of the instructional aspects. Addressing these points could enhance the overall learning experience for future students.
