The content was terrific and I learned a lot. My only critique is that some of the videos mentioned having PDF's with activities attached where in fact there aren't any. As I looked into the Q&A, it seems that this has been an issue for years which has never been addressed. This tells me that this content has not been updated for a while. My only request to the creators of this course is to please either attach the documents mentioned or edit the videos so that we're not looking for resources that don't exist. Other than that, you'll find this course of huge value! Thanks for a great course.

They give great insights on what you should think about when starting out with streaming, or even if you have streamed for a few years already. Only thing I really missed here were the resources that weren't with the activity in the video's, while they said that they were implemented here. Really good course to get to know Twitch though and I'm going to be implementing a lot of that!

I posted or sent an e-mail/s asking the authors a question/s regarding Twitch but I have never gotten an answer.

awesome
By Alex Huijgen on 11/5/2020
So far, its great. Only thing that's bothering me is that we haven't got intoduced to the twitch platform itself yet. But that will come hopefully
By Eric on 10/27/2020
It is well done, but little of the information is anything i was not already aware of or couldn't be learned on you tube videos.
By Kaley Cota on 10/24/2020
So far it's great! I knew very little about Twitch before I started the course. I had downloaded it forever ago just to get something free for Warframe and forgot about it. I just knew that I love video games, and since I'm working from home now I thought it would be a great time to finally look into streaming! The instructor is great so far and explains everything really well. I'm looking forward to the rest of the course!

So far Im amazed by the ease of the courses at your fingertips

By Georgio Tate on 10/18/2020
So far so good.
By Olga Sushytska on 10/18/2020
There's too much repetitive talking and almost zero real life examples.
I.e., when Sam talks about gimmicks of different streamers, he just describes them all. And he also keeps talking about the same couple of people in all of his videos. It would have been so much better to just show it, and show other examples of streamers who have or do something unique during their streams. Taking some time and actually preparing case studies with videos/screenshots would have been a lot more useful and interesting to watch than a guy in front of a camera.
Also, in most of Sam's videos the camera continuously goes out of focus for a second or two and sometimes shakes. It's an interesting decision to include videos of this quality in a course about streaming where what your viewers see should kinda be... visually appealing.
Also, there are no files attached to any activities.
Overall, this is more of a pep talk than useful educational stuff. You can find all this information for free on Youtube, only presented and explained better.
