This course provides an overview and understanding of the 3-D printing industry, where it came from, where it's going, and where someone could start if they're interested in pursuing opportunities.

A must attend course for those who like innovation and engineering. Will become a must complete subject for engineering graduates. This technology will definitely be a part of our day to day life.

Assignments are interesting and you fell the enthusiasm of the team. However, whole course is interviews only, no slides, nothing in writing (I am quite a visual type of learner, therefore bad for me). Each of probably more than 30-40 videos has the same title strip and the same trailer at the end, together more than a minute so that you waste around 40 minutes of your time seeing the same (marketing material for their university and lab). Furthermore technology does not work well. videos repeat and repeat unless you go back to course overview and select the next one.

Some of the quizzes show up before the videos, so that I was wondering why i could only guess to answer some of the questions, later realizing that answers were given in the following videos.

Some of the quiz questions really strange and not fully covered in videos (and see above, no slide or anything you could use to resume what you should have learned)

TO SUMMARIZE - REALLY EXCITING CONTENT BUT COURSE NEEDS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT

Los contenidos están desactualizados, en un tema que está en constante evolución. En una de las actividades iniciales piden al alumno que se grabe con una cámara (o en su defecto un móvil) para hacer la tarea. No indica si debe hacerse en inglés y presupone que al aceptar el curso, también aceptamos la posibilidad de exponernos visualmente. En mi caso no me gusta hacerlo y no domino el inglés a nivel hablado.

Hello, this course has a lot of unnecessary content, with all due respect, information that I did not need to know about the people involved, please take as a reference an excellent course "AI FOR EVERYONE" taught by Andrew Ng, he does not come to dazzle us with his great CV, It directly teaches you what you need to know quickly and directly.

I didn't really care about the stories from the students or seeing the space for one whole lecture video. It's clear that Ultimaker is the sponsor, but it felt like a commercial. I want to learn more.

Good over view of technology, good list of references and resources to explore more on your own. Didn't really need to be 2 "weeks" worth. Audit for the info.

Great for someone who knows nothing about 3d printing, but overly simplistic if you have any concept of whats going on in that space.

Much of the information presented is outdated and unnecessarily lengthy.

More of a promotional course than a learning course. You could learn most of the content here by finding a good news article. Videos are short and slow, if you took out the intro to each video and play them at 1.25 speed(as to not fall asleep). You can complete this course in 2 hours and get great scores on the quizzes.

This course doesn't contain any new information. It does not teach you but just excitedly shows commonly known facts.

There are better ways to invest your time.

Several glitches in Thingiverse. The interface the faculty shows is outdated. And there's no response from the support staff or the faculty.

It's not a course... this is a very short general introduction to 3D Printing

I did not really learn new technical skills.
