The concept of email marketing was completely new to me. The tutor in this course has gracefully explained different aspects of email marketing. I am extremely happy to gain this unique knowledge.

This one was very repetitive and could have been much shorter. Most of it was common sense, and if you already have a marketing email tool you use, a lot of this stuff is already obvious/built in. Not as much value compared to some of the other courses.

I failed the final assessment 5 times. I reviewed the content extensively and it simply wasn't enough information for the inter-changeability of the assessment. A large chunk seemed to be demonstrating the ability to apply marketing jargon, and if that is what needs to be measured, offer enough context for the student to be able to do so. A lack lustre definition of SMART dilineations and marketing segmentations was awful to test under. Also, do not focus on anecdotal speaking in the video component if that is a waste of time for the student; in this situation, it was. Rather than spending video time going on about off-road topics, *prepare the student for the assessment.* The more I find that these courses focus on idle information while setting up time-wasting quizzes asking for hyper-understandings of useless definitions, not caring about the student experience, the more I will go out of my way to offer reviews like this one. A brief course like this is not enough time or space for students to learn jargon that e-commerce university degrees would instill, so don't, *or cover the definitions enough to provide adequate proficiency.*

I can't say enough. Every course has been very well structured and put together. My only complaint, is I wish we had more access to the actual instructor for feed back.

A lot of the questions in the quiz have wrong answers. For example in the course material it was said that Demographic data would items such as Age, Gender, Income Level, Family status, whereas the choices provide didn't meet any of these criterion. Any one taking these courses will be build their knowledge of false information and concepts. Someone really need to review the quizzes to ensure they are accurate.

The instructor was excellent—just the right amount of enthusiasm and encouragement. She spoke well; I thought she was the best of the four so far.

The course itself was very informative and well worth my time and money. My only complaint was the final exam. It said that 53% of people did not pass this test on the first try. I can understand why. Even though I passed the examination on the first try (I only got 50% on the second time), it left much wiggle room regarding the right and wrong answers. The test at the end, I believe, should be rewritten.

Due to My Best Guide Miriam I gained a lot of understanding about email marketing. Her Way of explaining things is too good. She herself enjoyed while teaching all this. HHer Warm welcome for every new video, her motivation by saying that you'll become a best email coordinator really made me feel as if I am already one. She taught everything into detail and the activity part was too good. II'm Feeling confident after completing the entire course with activities by myself . Thankyou

This course provides most of the essential skillset in email marketing. It offered me the opportunity to have some simple hand on experience in the automating email system and enough practice in writing effective commercial emails and preparing email marketing results. Most importantly, after I completed my practice assignment, this course gave me the example as the "answer key" so that I knew what I was exactly behind.

So far this instructor was the easiest to understand and follow. She has a good way of speaking without making it sound like she is reading from a teleprompter. As far as the course content goes, I think this one was the most useful so far since it deals with email which has more components than social media since its something you pay to use and have more control of the delivery process.

I was just amazed at how can I learn E-Mail Marketing, I don't even like to write e-mails, analyze metrics, or presentations. But after this course, I am pretty much confident that I can now handle all the tasks related to e-mail marketing. I can manage the whole e-mail campaign now without any fear and stress.

I love the practical section the most where I created an email campaign from start to finish by following the instructions. I enjoyed that the most and I hope more practical sections will be added in all the courses to have hands-on experience. As a beginner, I loved this course.
