Hi Marina,

Personally, a Course is ready for publication when I see it completely (as if I were a Student) and I end up liking it in every way, if I don't get excited about taking my own courses, then they are not finished yet,

A hug

GOOD LIFE TO THE RESTLESS MINDS!

Hi Marina,

A Common Challenge: "This is an intriguing question that puzzles instructors time and again: When is a course complete and ready for publishing?"

Focus on Objectives: Consider the course’s objective, the intended audience, and the skills it aims to enhance in your students.

Checklist and Enhancements: Once you’ve addressed these aspects, ensure your course meets these criteria. Add quizzes, assignments, and practice tests to make it comprehensive.

Perfection Not Required: Don’t aim for perfection initially. You can update or modify your course even after publishing.

Student Feedback: Continuously observe student feedback and refine the content. The "journey" of evolving a course is what makes it truly valuable for students.

Instructor Ranking System Suggestion: A topic-wise ranking system from Udemy could help instructors understand how their courses perform relative to others.

AI-Powered Suggestions: With AI advancements, Udemy might consider providing personalized suggestions to instructors for course improvement.

Happy Teaching!
