Amé este curso! Aprendí muchísimo, es muy claro como explica todo
Las instrucciones son claras
Me gusto mucho el curso. Solo sugiero que hagan unos acercamientos mas directos al trabajo en miniautra, sobre todo en la parte de la abeja y el hongo me hubiera gustado ver que hacia la maestra y no su expresion. Es tan pequeno el trabajo que me costo apreciar los ultimos detalles. Por lo demas, excelente y divertido
totalmente recomendado ,fácil de seguir las instrucciones
Great course! I loved the close up views (but I would have liked more!). Yulia explained things very well. I would take another course with this teacher.
