Amazing course and Karl Gude is an amazing person with great teaching skills. Looking forward to learn more from him.

Thank you coursera for providing me this amazing learning platform.

The most useless course I've ever taken. Most videos are just some declarative statements on why design is important, why color is important, etc. No real new knowledge. 'Instructive' videos for the practical tasks - no ideas who is the target audience. For newcomers in design, like me, - everything is super fast, unclear, difficult to follow. I had to watch additional videos and google some instructions on my own (why then to take the course? I could do this without the course). For experience designers - nothing new, I'm sure. In general, the only more or less valuable information - youtube video of the teacher on Illustrator. No moderators on the course forum - if you in trouble with the software or puzzled by some question, noone will help.

Additionally, the teachers speaks veeeery fast and sometimes absolutely unclear, even subtitles do not work sometimes. I belive my listening skills in English are close to perfect, but even for me sometimes it was a challenge to understand what's going on.

The only reason I've completed the course is that I had paid the certificate before I started. Do not recommend the course at all.

The course is prepared for people with medium/high level skills in Adobe Illustrator. There is no way a person without experience enjoying the lessons. It would be better if the habilities needed were informed before the application. I spent time and money for nothing.

You should inform that we MUST have installed Illustrator (and some proficience) in order to achieve more than 50% of the course. BTW, there's no trial version for 30 days anymore. You should update this course using free softwares.

Prof. Karl Gude is an excellent lecturer. He presents his knowledge and experience in a very simple and attractive way. Thank you sir, for the knowledge you have given to me. This is an amazing course regarding designing infographics. This course gave me a lot of valuable and critical information regarding infographics. In future I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in creating infographics. Thank you.

Excellent content and delivery. I have been looking around to upskill in this area and this was perfect. It covered both the principles and how to use Adobe Illustrator in a very efficient way. The instructor also has many instructional videos on his YouTube channel and I will go back to those as I put what I have learned into practice. Highly recommend this course - I hope to find others like it to learn other skills.

I have never imagined that Karl Gude, the former Director of Information Graphics (Infographics) at Newsweek magazine, would be my teacher 10 years ago when I first entered this news and publication career. I like the practical process of the course and his humor. Thank you, Mr. Gude, I've got my new skill.

This course is PERFECT for anyone wanting to learn more about infographic design. It gave me lots of great tips on Adobe products that I can use and offered a structured format to creating infographics that I have used exclusively since completion. Great course and worth the time and effort to take.

I love the way the instructor conducts his lessons. Very engaging and lively. I cannot stop listening and watching the lessons though it is time for me to head to bed. Trying hard to keep my eyes open (in a good way) because I want to learn more. Keep it up! Every seconds spent is worth it!

The course was exactly what I was looking for and I am content with the instructor and all the assignments that we were given. I would really recommend taking this course to others who are new in the field of designing and wants to get into infographics.

I really learned a lot through the material of the course, everything is well explained and make an objective analysis of the structure without taking out the subjective significance that an infographic contains, so thank you to all people involved in

Exciting and concise course. I have learned a lot in just four weeks, and I know I will never look at the infographics in the same way as before. I know now how to distinguish between a good one (providing information) and merely decorative one.

Superb content! I enjoyed every bit of it and highly recommend!! The videos short to hold your attention, plus the overall course was evenly spaced. The best part of it was relating to other learners across the globe and assessing one another.

One of the best teachers out there! I really enjoyed watching his videos and tutorials. Thank you Karl! This is my first course I ever complete because Karl made it so interesting and gave us so much examples to learn from.

From the start to end I feel interested. The project submission and peer review was so exciting to me. Overall I love this course. Thank you Courseera and thank you Michigan State University authority for this Course.

It was my first Coursera course and I really enjoyed the structure provided and the whole learning experience. Hope I take the learning from the course and work on improving myself on creating world-class infographics

The best course I've seen so far! Very easy and funny explanations. The course engaging for new ideas. For me it was a first time when I made some design with the joy from the start till the end of the project

I learned a lot from Karl Gude. The course is really informational of how to do infographics the right way. Got inspired and will keep watching his tutorials on YouTube. Thanks Michigan State University!

T​his is the most interesting course i have indulged myself in. Thanks to Karl Gude for creating such an amazing course. It changed my perspective about a picture, poster and infographic. Kudos.

Wonderful and intuitive course, great performer. I recommend this course to everybody who wishes to immerse in the world infographics and to receive feedback on his or her progress in design.

Very nice course, I really enjoy listening to it. I discovered new tools, I listen to the concept and advices that was given and everything motivates me a lot. Thank for this course!

Great course, a fun educational experience! I liked Karl's way of explainimg thinks and giving real examples from his long career. The peer-review system is a bit slow though ...

I am happy to finish this course despite already missing deadlines, which I am not proud of. Thank you for giving us the things we should not missed in making our infographics.

I learnt a lot even though I already used illustrator before. I learnt how to draw a map, to make an illustration, to make charts, graphs, ... I highly recommend this course!

This was so far the most fun course I've ever enrolled! I really like how the assignments pushed me above my safe-zone and the video are also well-packed into short videos.
