All in all this course was a good introduction to OpenGL with some complex topics I'll have to revisit as I make something of my own. That said, most of the theory lessons deserve a retake by the professor as to be easier to follow, without unnecessary repetitions and better articulation. This lessons could also use some additional visual aids. The coding lessons themselves are easy to follow as they are mostly unedited. Will just point out that some of the playing around with the values could be removed. As the teacher points out in the last videos there is a great deal left to explore regarding graphics programming. If you follow along this course expect to end up with some knowledge about the rendering pipeline, some math needed for graphics programming (messing around with vectors and matrices for basically everything), camera movement, textures, importing models, shaders, light (ambient, directional, point and spot light), shadows (directional and omnidirectional), skybox. If you follow along the code you will have a program with the aformentioned functionalities. With that said, the course hasn't been updated in 6 (the theory stays relevant the tools suffer modifications) and students haven't been getting answers in the last ~3 years by the professor, so I cannot give this course more than 3 stars.
