This was a very helpful introductory course which helped me to understand further areas of study I need to pursue in order to be effective in this field! Thanks UC Davis, I really enjoyed this course.

Great course, very informative!! I can tell the classes are starting to be structured differently though. Not too much meat to this first course... reserving my opinion, until I go through a few more.

There are some words that are technical and I think the course should provide a glossary at the end of the course or provide in the videos. Sometimes, the sound is not consistent so it is rather uncomfortable to focus on the videos. Keep up your good work!

The course didn't provide many specific SEO tactics which I expected and too much focus was on history of search engines. Also, the questions in the quizzes were mostly focused on some very specific details rather than understanding the topic in general.

I personally think it would have been better if more educational content was covered in the videos. Most of the important content was given to us in readings rather than being covered in videos. other than that its a great introductory course!

While this course was full of interesting information, it was a front loaded with much useless information...interesting nonetheless. I, however would prefer a course that jumps a bit faster to the so called nitty-gritty. Overall, good stuff!

It was insightful but as a beginner SEO student, I lost track or simply got bored. SEO is an exciting industry to be in, there wasn't much excitement however I learned enough to know that SEO might not be for me.

I think it would be nice if the course could be more practical with more examples. This was mainly about the theory in general and not about the practical skills at all, but thank you for the knowledge anyway!

The course structure should be improved. This introductory course is not really for SEO beginners, but for those who already have some experience and want to gain inspiration for their career development.

Student should be able to see results of test ( at least quiz 1 and 2) before we decide to purchase. Overall the course was easy to understand and follow. I look forward to taking to others in the series.

If you are marketer, this could fit you somehow. If you want concrete body of knowledge, I don't think the course will please you. SEO topic is subjective and somehow could frustrate the technical folks

I dont feel confident that I can increase my website's ranking after this class. The info was very basic and geared toward what is looked for in a SEO career track. Not very pertinent to my situation.

The lessons are great and the teacher explains in simple and good way the concepts. However, in my opinion there to many facts and history rather that strategies and theories on how to work with SEO.

Felt that the first week, how to get a job in SEO should be the last module. Unsure the value it has when you don't even know SEO at the level one would need in order to get a job in SEO.

While it had some good content, it was difficult to get past a lot of the grammar and spelling errors. Also, sharing Wikipedia pages as informational text in a course is a huge turn off.

Very informative, however a bit too detailed on the history of previous search engines and past Google updates. Could've done with a bit less history and more up to date information.

The course provides great resources, but it seems to lack moderators. I finished the course and I have yet to get any feedback from the hosts and students rarely interact.

Ver basic knowledge and more so theory than strategy. Coursera needs to start teaching strategy with little theory so that people understand strategy and can implement.

Muy basico, como introducción está bien, pero el contenido de la primera semana es el más tardado y el más sin sentido. Creo que podrÃa ser mejorado y actualizado

Not much was explained in the videos. Too many lengthy articles were provided to read through. I don't think I gained much value from this. Highly disappointed.

I'm starting a business. I need to learn so I can earn. I think you should cut out the philosophy and the art of SEO and cut straight into practical exercises.

Topics were not always well explained or articulated in the videos, and were sometimes hard to follow. Reading the transcript was usually more helpful.

As a high level & historical intro it was a nice overall background. What the course failed in was discussing a far more practical & tactical approach.

Overall, it had useful information for someone who didn't know a lot about SEO. However, I wish that the videos' audio quality was better.

A bit of interesting information but mostly "here is what was happening in browsers in 1995". Gets much better from the next course on tho
