Great explanation. Came across the course on Flipboard and immediately signed up. I do disagree on one point.

This course is more of an appreciation of the art of photography through the years as opposed to a "how to take better photos" course.
I found the course triggered memories explaining why I see things the way I do and new ideas on looking at things differently. Perhaps it is my own mindset, but I got more than history and art appreciation out of the course.
