FAQ'S
Learn Your Best Education Culture with The Compelling Image
Q.1 What advantages does an online-interactive photography course offer that online videos alone do not?
Text plus video online photography lessons provide a more comprehensive learning experience, as they combine the visual elements of video with the written explanations of text. The combination allows learners to better understand the concepts being presented and to more easily retain the information.
Q.2 What does “interactive” actually mean in terms of learning and practicing photography at TCI?
Interactive learning at The Compelling Image means two things. The first is to actively engage with the image in a way that encourages exploration and experimentation. Secondly, it refers to the timely interaction of fellow students and instructor regarding lessons and assignments - both providing for a more immersive and comprehensive learning experience.
Q.3 What sets TCI Instructors apart from other teachers of online photography courses?
A number of online photography courses boast big names to draw students. But if one reads student comments who’ve taken these courses, a degree of dissatisfaction is often voiced. “Renowned” and “Teaching Excellence” don’t always go hand-in-hand. TCI instructors are chosen not just for their professional accolades, but for their enthusiastic ability to teach, encourage, and instill confidence in their students.
Q.4 What if I’m unable to finish a course within the stated enrollment period?
TCI is very forgiving in this regard. Given a legitimate reason, we will either extend your enrollment period or reschedule your course to a time better suited for your success.
Q.5 What if I can’t find appropriate subject matter to complete lesson assignments?
In the 16 years TCI has been offering an exceptional online learning experience, this has never been an issue. Students find subjects and assignment material wherever they live - be it right in the home, neighborhood, or further afield. We’ll even make suggestions, if needed!
Q.6 Will I have timely access to the instructor throughout my course?
Yes, questions posed online during the course will be personally answered by your instructor within 24 hours. And - being interactive courses, fellow students on your course have the opportunity to chime in as well.
Q.7 How much time, on average, can I expect to spend on each lesson and assignment?
This will vary, but as a rule of thumb, you can expect to spend 2-3 hours per lesson and assignment. But keep in mind, the more you put into your course, the more you’ll benefit from it.
Q.8 What can I expect from Instructor critiques of my assignment work?
Expect critiques of each and every assignment photo you upload to be honestly and constructively evaluated by your instructor. That means pointing out strong points, as well as identifying areas that didn’t work so well.
Q.9 What can I expect from a half-hour Skype or Zoom call with my instructor?
Your instructor will review your work online with you, offering advice for improvement and suggesting steps to elevate your photography skills. The call is typically best scheduled at the end of the course, after your instructor has seen your progress.
Q.10 Will I always be able to refer back to courses I’ve taken and work I’ve submitted at TCI in the past?
Yes. You’ll always be able to log in to your TCI account and review past work, critiques, and comments. Plus, you can conveniently enroll in new courses from your Student Area.
