It's my first time on Skillshare, but I got in very easily without even confirming my email address.
1st Impression: The "course" seems awfully short: only 14 minutes. Is Skillshare geared to millennial attention spans, or is this just an unusually short course?
2nd impression: your voice is rather soft (compared to the music), even with my volume cranked up to maximum. In the future, perhaps you should increase the volume on your end (postprocessing) before uploading.
The irritating background music (I know, different tastes) makes it especially difficult to hear you clearly. I suggest you keep it only as a short intro, or find some softer, more peaceful music.
As a 40+ year language teacher, I know that some non-native speakers of English may have trouble coping with the music + slight accent combination: adding captions would be very useful (Youtube can help you for free).
In Lesson 3 (Cryptography), you mentioned algorithms, keys and scrambling a message, but you didn't clearly explain what what these terms mean.
If this is truly a beginner's course, some people would surely be mystified. Perhaps a few more graphics would help.
Finished the course: short, but to the point. A little more "flesh" might be a good idea. Hit the "Recommend" button.
Thanks for making this course available for free!
Thanks, really appreciate the time you took to go through it and all the feedback, vey useful!
On Music. It is correct. It distracts. I had no notice the impact, but when I try to think more concentrated on a given point, then Music is an interference. I recommend to get rid of it.
Ok, duly noted, thanks.
I am an non English Speaker and I don´t have any problem understanding you, nor with your voice. I run an ASUS K52J with louser speakers and I have not had any problem with the quality nor the label of sound.
Thanks, it helps :)
To me, length of something means, nothing. What is is important is the quality and deepness of the thought conveyed.
I agree that length in itself means nothing, but for average people the entirely unfamiliar concept of blockchain takes a bit of time to explain clearly. I've worked with computers and cryptography for decades, but as an experienced teacher I can tell when most of my Chinese students will probably have trouble understanding.
