I found the 'Art Packaging and Crating Methods' course to be quite informative and helpful in achieving my learning goals. As an art conservator in Egypt, I was looking to gain more knowledge on the best practices for packaging and shipping fragile artifacts. The course provided a good overview of the different methods and materials used in the industry. I appreciated the examples of case studies and the discussions on the importance of climate control and shock absorption. The course materials were relevant and well-structured, making it easy to follow along. My only suggestion would be to include more hands-on exercises or workshops to practice the skills learned.
