Learner Reviews & Feedback for Seeing Through Photographs by The Museum of Modern Art

I found the course interesting, however I had trouble finding all of the written materials to read. Some were available online, but none were in our library system. I think it would be better if more of the reading was available to people. I also thought that the final assignment instructions were a bit confusing. As it is I never did get to upload the photographs for the final prompt. I asked for help on the forum, but no one responded.

It was short and interesting... and that is good. In the first week the readings were overwhelming and I was disappointed - but the other 5 weeks had short videos of interviews with photographers to go along with the concepts presented. Some of the quiz questions were looking for details that I felt were not important for the learner. Final assignment was good.

An interesting topic and materials covered but sadly an unresolved technical glitch prevented the completion of the final task and thus lower rating for a good course.

The course is interesting but beware ! It has peer reviewed assignments which means you will never get your grade !

i enjoyed the interviews -- hearing and seeing many different artists using the same medium in very different ways

The course is helpful to learn the stories behind photographs, but kind of monotonous.

falta opciones en español, los textos por ejemplo o los videos subtitulados.

I liked the course but was not a fan of the final assignment

TODO ES EN INGLES, Y NO TENGO CONOCIMIENTO DEL INGLES

Nice, but I expected more (or something else).

great course, thoroughly enjoyed it

Peculiar course.

I felt like this course was kind of disjointed. As an educator with some experience in museum education, I wonder whether this was created by the curatorial department with minimal or no guidance from education. Some of the required readings were lengthy and bombastic. It's almost as if course creators said, let's see what we have to work with, and try to find some relationships between the hodgepodge. I understand the importance of sometimes having to use readings from the specific time period of an artwork to put it in context, but again, I feel like there could have been better exemplars of both photographs and readings. The module where photographs of the moon were the "theme" just seemed like it didn't belong. I did acquire new knowledge through this course, but the format was just not for me.

Vastly concerned with the esoteric minutia, ideas, and meanings assigned by others regarding photographs which most often aren't even closely aligned with the original artist's intentions.

A brief few mentions of how photography has changed over time with advances in technology and development of new techniques was mildly interesting, otherwise this course was predominantly meaningless. This course will most likely be of no benefit to people not viewing or creating fine art photography.

abstract and uninformative stories about some photographersbut not about the profession of the photographer or the technical side of the work

Thank you for the opportunity to get acquainted with the course

I hoped that it was more professional, It was interesting but non technical.

Boring

really badly presented, going from one artist to another

very tokenistic and processes rarely explained

cannot seem to finish the course without purchasing the full certificate

even though i have finished the course and all the quizzes am just going to unenroll

This course sounded so interesting. It was however not well organized and had too great a time commitment attached to it. The readings were too long. I ended up giving up.

repetitive content with other MOMA courses (modern art&idea)?? duh, not gonna pay $50 for this. :(

il certificato a fine corso è risultato a pagamento al contrario di quanto annunciato all'inizio.

I need to pay for the course certificate and I can't get it.

Thank you

I want to uennroll from this.course .... please help

Nonsense, just wasted time...
