Alun, yes, I didn’t post the good reviews. There are clearly way too many. This is why I didn’t want to mention names. I don’t want to expose particular teachers, but the practices. I took the time to continue the discussion below Theresa’s post.

I will say all that here — I raise awareness. I realise I’m disturbing some status quo, but as a student’s perspective (this is mine!) who bought more than 30 courses (using coupons/discounts or purchasing bundles), I ended up happy with the knowledge and results only with 5 or 6 of these courses. Unfortunately!

No, I didn’t mention numbers. I did say though that you are one of Udemy’s most popular teachers. I find that enough. Numbers aren’t always the ultimate proof of quality! The problem is, as a student, I don’t believe in these numbers any more. I learned how teachers make sure to have more students attend their course(s), mostly by offering it for free, or of course, selling it super cheap.

I want to say something again and again . My point was and will remain the following: I wanted to help students make sure they end up satisfied with the courses they purchase and give them guidelines on how to find them. And second, my hope is that teachers will begin delivering that value and will improve the existing. In this situation both sides win!
