May Feedback Post: Give and get feedback on your course!

[JocelynH]

Whether this is your first or fifth course, it’s always helpful to hear from other instructors how you can improve your course content to be even better. Each month, we create a feedback thread where you can ask for feedback and share your feedback too.

Before you share your course content, check out our self-promotion policy and read these quick guidelines:

1. Be specific. Share what you’re looking to improve or things you’re concerned about so your fellow instructors can provide targeted feedback.
2. Upload content directly. Whenever you can, directly upload a video or course outline to our platform so it’s easier for other instructors to check it out.
3. Don’t share course links or instructor coupons. This is a space to share and receive feedback, not sell to other instructors. If you want to reference a course, share the full name of your course without linking it. Instructors can find the course by clicking on your community profile and going to your instructor account on Udemy.
4. Pay it forward. If you’re asking for feedback, look over someone else’s course and give them some feedback too! Always try to give more than you ask for.

We hope this feedback thread can help you create even better courses!

How can I help you?

I've been on Udemy just over 4 years now, and have just about 150,000 paying students. I teach technical topics (like cloud computing), but consider myself fairly knowledgeable about how Udemy works and Udemy SEO in particular.

Reply to this post with your course name and instructor name, and I'll give you an honest opinion about 2 or 3 things you can do to gain more success on Udemy.

Or AMA - Ask Me Anything - and you'll get my honest opinion on that.

Hello,

First post for me - have published two courses so far, but have struggled to attract students to them.

How to get a job in Sales

Sales Training: The Nuclear Core of Selling

I've put on emphasis on production quality to help differentiate it from other courses of a similar ilk. Does the course descriptions work in your opinion? Am I not positioning it right for potential students? Anything really! 

[AlAnders]

Hi Scott, thank you for the offer.  I just published my first course and can really use some feedback on how to be successful on Udemy.  The course title is "Cyber Security Concepts 2019" and the instructor name is "Al Anders, CISSP".  

thank you,

Al Anders

Hello everyone!

I am struggling to create my first online course. The quality of my video, where I was speaking in front of camera, was approved. I have no issues with it. Now I need to find a solution for videos, where I draw/paint on a sheet of paper. I tried to make different test videos but all of them are very dark. I tried direct light from two sides, while central light in the room is on and I tried to draw near the window thinking that daylight can help to make video lighter. But the video is still dark. Please help me to find a solution.

I am an art instructor. I gave around 100 offline workshops and have a lot of experience in this field but I am not very good at finding technical solutions.

[JocelynH]

Hey @TatyanaArt, can you share some video examples of what you've tried? You can upload directly to this site so we can watch them and give you some pointers 🙂

[TatyanaArt]

Thank you for the fast reply. This is a sample video. The paper is on the table, the central light is on (two lamps on the celling) and tree lamps are directed to the sheet of paper. The camera I am using is Logitech c525. What else can I do to improve the video quality?

[JocelynH]

Thanks for sharing! I'm tagging in a couple other instructors who also teach art to see if they can provide some suggestions 🙂 @Nicola @KellieChass647 @ScottHarris

It looks as if you need more light. You cab also brighten the video when you get to editing. Also increase the contrast in the editing phase and the lines will show up darker. I hope that helps.

[PadmaRallap477]

Thank you very much

Hello Everyone,

I need feedback on my first course: Complete Guide to Careers in Data Science

Can I message to instructors directly for that? or Posting in the community is sufficient?

[SalehRam]

Hi!

I'm still on my first course which now I'm working on updating the content. Since that will involve re-recording of most of the lectures I'd love to get your feedback on the course in general so I can take this time to improve as well!

The course name is: "The Complete Course to Manage G Suite"

Really apprecaite this!
