Very good summary of interior design concepts for a novice. I took this course to see if the subject interests me and if i'd like to pursue further education on it, and I think this course provided a good overview to make that decision. Thanks

I enjoyed the course. It was very detailed. A lot of things were new to me as I am a novice to interior decorating.

I love the art of learning so I am soaking up all the knowledge, I do find it just a bit hard to understand the material with the language barrier but I did cut the captions on and that helped a lot so I am still enjoying it!

I am generally enjoying this course. At times, I need to re-listen to a word as pronunciation is not what I expected or I am having trouble with my volume and the accent of the presenter. I appreciate the depth of most of the topics and into materials for building; it does not go too far or into all history.

The course is basic and gives you a fair idea about the types/processes involved in constructing a building/house. However, it does not target interior designing but targets construction more. So if anyone wants to become a builder, this is a good course to begin with. The teacher is good, with decent speech and examples about various topics.

Volledige cursus. Ik heb alles gevolgd. Ik wil wel opmerken dat de uitspraak van veel woorden en het accent mij soms in de war brachten. Ik moest ieder keer naar de juiste uitspraak van bepaalde woorden zoeken, zodat ik niet de uitspraak van de lerares overnam. Eerlijk gezegd niet zo fijn dat woorden verkeerd en met een verkeerd accent uitgesproken worden. Ik ben heel taalgevoelig en heb er veel hinder van gehad. Verder doet de lerares wel erg haar best om enthousiast over te komen.
