It is a well-designed course. The animations taught are very concise and could be applied to daily life presentations too. Its a good one if one wants to dive deep into animations, slideshows, charts etc. area.

Simple and effective explanation of ppt animation features. Loved the narration, it was upbeat and ensured I paid attention throughout the course.

This is for an old version of PowerPoint so the course needs updating, however, teachings are still relevant. I was expecting a more professional intermediate-expert level of animation material.

The educator was able to teach the animations using simple examples in a short period of time. This course is definitely recommended for someone wanting to understand how to use PowerPoint in short period of time.

Actually, I expected more on visual effects proposals to make better PPT presentation. Not only animation, but more good practice guidelines to make good presentation

Its very good course as i dont know these animation effect creation in Power point presentation in pre learn of this course, Now i got to know many things in Animation effects utilization
By Adam Jubyna on 10/4/2020
I really enjoyed how short and to the point this course was. I needed to get an animation PowerPoint project done relatively quickly, and this was a good refresher since I've done it in the past, but really enjoyed the shortcuts I learned and some quick effects, especially on charts/graphs, and how to present them very well.

Short but to the point. The instructor was nice to listen to. It would be nice if the students get a project to show actual learning and understanding. Some free templates would also be nice. Thanks!
