We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].
Excellent course. So many aspects, so well presented.
HelpfulVadim at his finest, engaging as always. The course is an indispensible first step for all starting to play on 19x19.
HelpfulTop thank you Vadim 🙂
HelpfulGreat quality
HelpfulAs a 14 kyu with some experience, I thought I would know most of this. I did but there still were some things that were new to me, and the rest was a very useful review of the basics. Excellent course.
HelpfulThe course was great, beginner-friendly, enjoyable, and very informative. As constructive feedback, I think it would be even better if there were more explanations instead of asking "What do you think?" during the videos. I would also appreciate longer lessons with more in-depth explanations and additional details.
HelpfulGenerally excellent - thank you! I found some of the reading and seki exercises very hard, so maybe I just need to practise more or perhaps the course could creep up on those parts a little more slowly?
HelpfulAs the others of Vadim's courses, this is all extremely well done. The fundamentals are very well explained and the little exercises help integrate the different notions.
HelpfulGreat intro into the 19x19 board
HelpfulJust the quailty I expect from go magic. Vadim and the rest of the gm crew, nice job.
