How To Choose a Good Course ?

While it is known that we are living in the age of "online learning" and information age, there is still a lack and shortage of good resources for real learning. Without too much talking, here are my tips:

1- Avoid courses with big titles:

Yes, any course that will teach you in 24 minutes or will teach you to be a "guru" will end you up with depression and false info about how the learning process goes!

2- Avoid creators who create courses about everything:

Yes, I saw many creators make courses about anything and everything. Imagine someone who is teaching German and Italian and French and all Babel languages!
This type of people mainly take these courses thing as a source of "passive and easy to earn income."

3- Watch intro and try to make an investigation like an FBI agent:

And don't forget to read the negative reviews about it.

4- Read reviews and search, but don't trust:

Since many are there just as affiliate links or a cheap advertisement.

5- Try to get a new fresh one but not always:

Many of the best courses I have taken were really old "but gold," and because they were great, I gained good info and understanding to keep up with newer parts. "For example, Angela Yu Flutter course is old, but it was so great that I could overcome obstacles that I found." But in bad courses, once you get stuck, you will find out how shallow info you got!

Thanks for reading :)
