I wanted more of the first section of the course on history and how font types were created. I didn't want the second half of the course on design concepts in a font course.

- Videos should be connected to multiple larger files. There is a lot of time wasted when waiting for the next video to start. This would increase the closeness of the sections belonging together.
- Examples at the end should have been included in the video instead of the PDFs (there was a missing justification in the example which would have increased the consistency of the text)

1. Понравилось: голос, дикция, точность формулировок и толковая графическая подача (не во всех лекциях).
2. Не понравилось: это всё какие-то примитивные базовые общие слова, несколько лекций - просто звук поверх статичной картинки. И это в секциях, когда речь идет о практике!
3. Конкретно выбесило: дробление лекций на такие нано-дозы - это что-то патологическое. Видео на 34 секунды? Вы серьезно?

Денег платить тут совершенно не за что. Утешает, что по большой скидке, но все равно считаю, что на ветер.
