I would have preferred more reading material and that the readings were less related to journalism and more related to general business. I would also have liked presentation slides to support the "talking heads" presenting the material. I received a grade for the completion of the course. I have no idea how that grade was determined as I did not receive any feedback on the concluding ShenShi case study, the feedback I provided others, or the other "deliverables." Finally, the second course in this specialization doesn't start for more than two weeks after concluding the first course. This seems like an excessive amount of time--especially since LinkedIn is billing me for that down-time.

The content is wonderful and very rich, but it is flawed by the difficult language, the use of a lot of similes and metaphors is difficult for non-English speakers to understand the topic and literal translation does not solve this shortcoming, it is like telling you (grow your brain) this is an Arabic expression that you will not understand even if you speak Arabic, it mean (don't care)

Useful content, and very well presented.

My only remarks are on the test, which is placed in Week 2 instead of at the end of the course - even though some of the concepts you need to know in order to complete it are explained in Week 3. Also, you can either type or attach your answer, but you never do both, which means you will never get a "perfect" grade.

Content was fantastic, however delivery was quite dull, two talking heads and chapters from a helpful, but rather dry book. The best part was the assignment. Could be spruced up with some printable versions of the text screens, or even better, a workbook to use in figuring out how to use this at home.

The course is really good, but the assessment has twice the same question (one for the option of typing and the other one for uploading). The problem is that although only one is required, when the assignment was graded, I lost points because the assessors didn't understand this.

John Lavine was interesting and a good speaker. Some of the other professors were not as engaging. I was distracted by the weird video editing that cut away at odd time. I felt the reading were very dated. However, I do feel I learned quite a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed the content and the way it's explained and presented. The insights are to the point, succinct but valuable. Having an assignment to work on and complete really helped me to understand how content strategy is created and applied.

The content is great, but it is impossible to complete the series of courses due to a lack of submissions to review. I'd like to finish the capstone, and I have done all my work, but the review of OTHERS' work is holding me up.

This course flows nicely and is easy, but interesting, to follow. I recommend it for anyone who is getting started in marketing or needs a refresher. It's also helpful to have access to their resources.

The course was great, lots of good information presented in an easy-to-understand way. It ended kind of abruptly, I wasn't sure it was over, so maybe a stronger ending - but that's a minor quibble.

Excellent course for beginners. Gives you a great starting point before you embark on creating content. Would recommend it to everyone trying to figure out how to design content.

The course material was good and covered a lot of topics. Though I suggest to add more examples and activities which can help in implementing the learnings.

I wish they'd have a higher level of interactivity because sometimes it gets quite boring. Great info, but they present it in a dull way sometimes.

This course allows you to gain tools and frameworks to put your thoughts into creating actionable, result-oriented solutions.

Good coverage of the basics. Experienced instructors with relevant examples provided. Looking forward to advance the course

I learned that content strategy is a marketing plan with content, not just the content alone. It is a great course.

I really appreciate that the instructors have strong journalistic backgrounds—truly helpful for impactful writing!

This is an informative and educational course that sharpens the know-how of content professionals.

Assignment was due in Week 2 of a 3-week course, which was odd. But the content was great.

It's a good start if you want to learn how to write for or generally reach an audience.

Great advice o writing best practices. Done with humor and memorable quotes.

Interesting MOOC. With a bit mit dynamic it would be a great training.

Very well explained and easy to follow.

Learnt a lot from this course

good content, lets try take it for a spin in the real world. Thanks

Introductory course, maybe think can add more real life examples.
