I heard from a couple places that you want to use about a 7th grade reading level in your courses (Flesch-Kincaid test). The test basically measures length of sentences & number of syllables in words. I believe a 7th grade level makes listening easier on the brain. My question is how important is this? Because... I'm building my first course. I'm almost complete. The 8 hours of lecture content has taken me about 400 hours of effort to complete. I just learned about the reading level thing and I put several of my lectures into the test (Microsoft Word will show you). My average lecture is about 12th grade. I have some in the 9th grade range and some in the 15th grade (collegiate) range. I thought I was within hours of finally being able to publish my course. If I have to reassess, rephrase, rerecord, modify the edit, etc. for 85 lectures - that's another 50-100 hours of work. I would love as much input as possible from experienced instructors or Udemy staff or people who have gotten feedback (good or bad) via reviews... How important is that? Do I need to back up and fix these? Thanks, Justin
