La explicacion y el modo tan claro y relajante de Alessia es impecable. Da la sensacion de que verdad tiene exito porque tiene disciplina, control y una gran organizacion. Si bien no tengo un proyecto en manos, me sirve para capacitarme en trabajos de produccion y gestion de proyectos audiovisuales que aspiro tener. Hasta ahora pude aplicar las nuevas tecnicas para mis clases de teatro ya que mis alumnos estan haciendo producciones de obra y quedaron encantados! Lo recomiendo!
Muy interesante para principiantes
O curso apresenta ferramentas básicas de gestão. Foi muito útil para organizar e ter a visualização completa do meu projeto. Recomendo muito!!!
Corso molto utile e interessante, sicuramente utilizzerò diverse cose imparate nel mi olavolo quotidiano!
Unica nota (che penso si possa migliorare): l'audio in inglese presenta delle lunghe pause, spesso a metà delle frasi, e spesso i sottotitoli non sono sincronizzati. Nulla di grave ma sistemare questa cosa potrebbe facilitare la possibilità di seguire meglio.
Grazie!
I'm an MA student trying to get my head around exactly how long I have and what I need to do in order to produce my final major project.
This course is the only one I found that actually helped me practically. By the end I had a time-blocked calendar, a kanban board and a Gantt chart of my project and a clearer idea of what I need to do, and when I need to do it than I did before I started.
