Do you know that you can take photography classes on coursera.org?
This is the first one in their specialization: https://www.coursera.org/learn/exposure-photography
Is anybody else taking these? I just finished with the first one and I honestly don't know what should I think. Pictures shown and discussed in the class (main topics are vantage point and framing) are very mediocre to my untrained eye.
What really sucks though is that you can't participate in exercises if you don't pay for the course and you only audit it.
At first I thought it was just a lot of babbling about how the course presenter took his photos and what he was thinking. But I figured then that I should think more about the scene when I'm taking pictures. So this is kinda my takeaway from the first course. Would love to hear someone else's opinion.
Pic related is from the instructor of the course.

Yup, also Stanford prof released those lectures for Google (garbage audio though) around a week ago, plus if you subscribe to cc, you get access to Adobe classes

That's not even a course or a class.
A class requires a professor you can communicate with and exercises where you can be evaluated.
With neither, it's just a shitty website with extra hoops for an ordinary youtube video. Fuck coursera.

Wasn't an own photo project matching the course content, but a written exam about a photo or set of photos referring to the course content/context. Course leader never read any of those, but they were graded by other people who took the course.
