TOP REVIEWS FROM WHAT IS SOCIAL?
This class has been an eye opener for me thus far. I'm enjoying learning all the how to of Social Media. I am looking forward to getting through all the MOOC's and start my new career online.
It was probably one of the best MOOC's I've ever attended! Sir Randy did a great job explaining everything, accompanied by excellent slides which made me understand the course more! Excellent course!
Randy Hlavac is an excellent professor with a plethora of experience in the digital marketing industry, and I am glad and honored to have such a professor who is willing to bring in experts.
Very engaging and thoughtfully presented overview and introduction to the course offerings. Had my first big AHA moment which completely validated my decision to enroll/pay for the course.
