While there were many areas which provided important information and useful resources, other areas fell short of my expectations, especially as it related to things like "Best Practices" for using Figma. In addition, I'm not sure if they were available at the time of this video series creation, but there are a lot of resources available right through the Figma app, including Plugins, and the Community example resources.

Great class to learn how to use the programs and resources. Not a fan of copying work and passing it off as your own. I felt like throughout the class that is encouraged. I would be mindful of that as a creative because it's not teaching you how to create based on your own ideas but off the back of others.

It is really good, the video of figma is so small, very challenging to see but his explanation is great

I got cheated money by this guy. Let me explain.
Inside announcement in his course:
'Hey everyone!
"count your blessings" being a UI designer is literally that, someone pays for you to move pixels on a screen! what's not to like?
If you feel stuck in any way, didn't complete the course or complete it but still can't find work? I am here to help with premium access to my community where I will help you get unstuck, help you find work as a designer, improve your portfolio, give you more practice homework, and much more.
I only charge $50/month for it and it pays itself back within the year.
email me at michaelabehsera@gmail.com if you're interested, enrolling a limited number of students this month.'
---------What actually happened:
I've paid 50 dollars for a month but not even 2 weeks and... he stopped, said he didn't want to continue.
Ok, naturally I asked for half refund, but he won't refund me, which was very bad, and gave me impression he is only interested in making money for his own self and doesn't care whether you will get a job or not.
All this after I've already told him I'm jobless so I could use the money. I paid the 50 dollars even when my finances was tight because I trust people easily and thought he could help me but now I feel so cheated.
50 might be nothing to you but I work hard to earn that money. I've spent the time and effort and now also lost my money. You understand I feel disappointed but also a bit angry, understandable?
Basically this guy was just using me as a guinea pig to test out his plan and when he found it's not profitable for him he simply took and ran away with my money. Robbery in board daylight.
Like I said, he only cares about his own profits and has no thought whether he can help you or not. When he finds you don't give him benefits, he simply disappears.
I don't even earn one tenth of what he earn. Did he give a thought how I'd think and feel?
My email is nhoiyee@yahoo.com.sg. I told some friends about this and they say if I don't want to say anything on facebook at least write a beeping review so somebody gets to read about it and what kind of guy they are throwing their money at, so here it is. If I could give a zero star, I definitely would.

To the point and you explain very well. It's a relief to find your class.

Great Course. Straight to the point and cuts out all unnecessary information
By Namrata Chakraborty on 6/24/2020
He doesn't mention any technical terms or the "whys" of certain decisions. He's just showing us how to copy another design basically...
