The assignments are very helpfull and the peer to peer method helps see and understand more about different points of view

I learned a lot from the course, I would just prefer to have my homework assignments graded by a professional and not other students. I don't think the students should be grading others homework assignments as they aren't qualified to do so yet. Overall I still attained a great abundance of useful information and I like the speaker.

The instruction is quite clear and precise. The only section that was a bit confusing was SMART Goals verses KPIs. Other than that, I already feel excited and ready to jump into marketing for the company I work for. I would like more feedback from instructors rather than other students as I would find it more valuable and targeted.

I have sat through several marketing meetings in the past and have always collaborated with that department, but this course was great in filling in the blanks I was always a bit too embarrassed to ask about the different social media platforms. I feel more confident about them now and gained skills in identifying target markets.

Great course, just wish there was a little more information on other social media platforms like YouTube. It's a good social media marketing platform but doesn't show us how to create a profile and set up a channel. Over all, I'm confident I can now add this to my resume, and can begin markeing my business.

This course gave me good insight into what it takes to be a social media marketer for a company. It definitely made me rethink how to use the right platforms for your business. There is a valuable insight into taking this course. It is way cheaper than going to college and taking a class on it.

This course is for complete beginner. If you are intermediate then you can skip this course . I would better recommend to go for Fundamentals of Digital Marketing offered by Google which is completely free. But the course is excellent for beginner.

Yours sincerely,

I am/was completely out of my element in my understanding of social media. The course introduced me to all of the concepts associated with marketing using digital platforms. I am not quite comfortable with my proficiency in subject matter but enjoyed the learning process/

The course is really grat qith a lot of information, but Im giving 4 stars because I didnt liked that we need to give a score to other students in 2 homewroks and at the same time they score our homeworks and this could be unfair, would be best do test instead of homeworks.

I learnt a lot in this course! I love how we got statistical information as well as case studies. My only comment is that the examples were all for B2C businesses or retail businesses. I think it is important to also give B2B examples as well as service based businesses.

I would have liked to see more of an instructor graded program rather than peer-reviewed because I feel like I would have gotten better feedback on my assignments. Other than that, super informational and related content to the real world of social media marketing.

It is a wonderful course to take especially for me who is not that social media savvy.

Definitely going to apply all I have learnt for work and my business. Anke is a such an excellent instructor everything she says is crystal clear and straight to the point.

Even tho' I already knew most of the things in this first course, it's a great introduction to social media marketing for everybody out there. Whether you need to freshen up or start for the first time, it's a more than solid foundation. Onto the next one!

The course is cool, but you dedicate yourself to doing the tasks, and they are not completed by AI, which means you have to wait for other people who can be nasty to evaluate you, I found it super annoying because I could get my certificate right away.

With it being Course 1 of 6, there is a lot of basic information that you may already know if you have done any work in this field. If you're starting in this field with absolutely no idea about social media, then it's a perfect introductory course.

i think the videos, assigbments, and worksheets are great. Bit the course material is outdated. Specifically for Facebook "audience insights". Today, you can do far less in the way of targeting yoir audience- so the materials should reflect that.

the workup is great. the quizes are good to test the knowledge. The elaborations are also good. I have received the certificate. I am doing the course in English. It would be good if the language of the course would be mentioned. Kind regards

Me hubiera gustado que el topic de crear tu LinkedIn (relacionado con desarrollar la carrera profesional) hubiera sido más que una lectura. Opcionalmente que nos permitieran hacer la tarea y voluntariamente revisar las de otros compaeros.

This was a fun course, the only issue I had are with some lecture notes that did not specify examples. This made the quiz difficult and confusing because the examples were not explained properly. However, the course was a fun experience.

It's a little here, there and everywhere. It's a good starting point if you are new to this. But as you finish certain modules you can be overloaded with the information provided to take the test - which was not a part of here or there.

I thought the teacher was engaging. I enjoyed the information covered. I don't feel ready to employ what I learned in a job setting at this point and I am hoping that will change with the remainder of courses in the certificate.

it was a great courses with best information and great explanation but it was little hard to understand meaning of some sentences and word used , it will be great if you provide easy lenguage and meaning of some hard words used.
