Classes were easy to follow along and I loved being able to go at my own pace. The class material was clearly explained and the reading materials were all relevant. Great class!

Very clear content. A good mix of reading suggestions, video content and thorough theory. If you already had some education on marketing before, this might be a lot of repetition.

The written/supplemental materials are surface level and often extremely dated (e.g., a 14 year old Forbes article on the most valuable brands in sports). The lectures are fine, but the interviews are mostly irrelevant and filled with cliches ("Have a high EQ!" "Be curious!" "Learn math!"). After 3 full modules, I'm calling it quits.

Overall okay but some of the interviews didn't seem relevant, they felt a little bit like padding. I also had the same individual grade my two assignments and he graded my work quite subjectively and not in line with the stated objectives.

The contents of the course were good. however I think it was not very well structured nor explained. Many of the interviews were not clear expamples of what was explained as part of the theory, but only experiences from people.
