At least one photo should be poorly composed

Interesting bio on the course instructor.

Is this course a science course?

I think taking bad pictures is a good way to learn.

Sorry, I wasn't being a douche and implying anything, I was just stating my opinion.

Edit:
The instructors background seems a little odd though, but then again his background in Architecture/Engineering & computer science which could be a nice recipe of talents depending on if he has good taste.
