The project-based nature of this course has been immensely helpful. By studying this course, I'm getting valuable experience creating effects. After Effects was so daunting at first because there are so... many... buttons... But this course helped me get used to the interface and learn so many artistic tricks and faster ways of working. Highly recommend!
