Thread: Free on-line RMIT University Photography Course

So do your photos get judged by others or teacher or anything?

How do you know that your doing a good job

They use a Google+ page for you to share photos for feedback and communicate with fellow students.

Some that comment are very good... others have little clue in my view, but that or course is that nature of this type of feedback.

There is appears to be zero feedback from those that actually run the course.

Yeah that seems pretty pointless.

Because everyone is on the course to learn so your getting judged by someone else who is learning also??

Interesting to here what the others think.... but I think while some giving feedback were quite useful..... most were not.

It would have been nice to see some feedback from the course staff in my view.

Nothing more to add to what you guys have already said. I'm glad it's free.

I stopped doing the modules about a week ago.

I wizzed through the modules and tests pretty quickly..... aced most of it... but I don't think that part will make me a better photographer.

Where these sorts of courses should add value, in my view is helping you take better images in the real world... That takes lots of practise and critical review of what you produce.

That's why I think it is a pity there was no real feedback from the course staff.

I think I have a reasonably strong technical understanding .... but I still have a long way to go to be a good photographer... glad I enjoy the practise so much...

First part - me, too.

Second part - I find I rarely take pix any more. My wife has commented on the amount of photography gear that I have and which never gets used, e.g., I have far too many lenses and flash guns.

I can go out for a day with the camera and not take any pix.
