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.

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.

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

Es un buen curso introductorio, esperarÃa más del contenido generado por esta universidad, el nivel de la comunicación es de secundaria.

Perhaps a bit too basic (and thus boring). But holding out hope it'll prove to be a good foundation for the rest of the specialization

This was far better than any introduction i have ever seen. It carry us through all the fundamentals we as a beginner need to know.

Very high level introduction to the various themes of SEO. Mostly a history lesson; less about what the actual work looks like.

The videos were every instructional . the reading was a bit thick for intro and never found information for a site audit.

Was a very basic introduction course, I wish there was a quick lesson on where to go to learn the application of SEO, too.

I am looking to practice SEO for real website. This course is a nice introduction but does not provides that opportunity.

Really good in fourth week but historical perspective should be minimum and future orientation should be more emphasized

The course should go deeper on the algorithm and tools, even if it is just an introductory course on the specialization.

The content provided in the course is good but there are some drawbacks in tutor & the way those videos are recorded.

It would have been way better and more interesting if they had focussed on videos lectures rather than more readings.

The insights given and topics covered are good. Perhaps a little more explanation and justification is needed.

Clear but a bit superficial. Hope the rest of the course will flesh out in more detail the various topics.

Relevance of the first three weeks of this course is low and not up-to-date. Week four was fine though.

It would be more valuable if there was more case studies and practical examples of how to work with seo

focus too much on Google update history rather than actual suggestions to optimize your website
