I found this module as well as the previous module rather dry and theoretical. I could have just read the articles, there were no experience sharing or practical tips that I found in either lecture

Contest was minimal and generic. For a beginner also could have added more. Peer evaluation for the plan was not so useful. Most of the feedback were single word replies.

Very general information with too much dependance on the textbook for the course. You might as well just read the book.

This is a very basic course. It is good only if you know nothing about digital marketing

As a data scientist I really missed a well traceable logical structure, that might help to understand better the relations between the key elements of the marketing toolset. The same applies to the provided lecture notes. It would be much easier to recap on the topics with a good summary pdf on each lecture just as we had with Kevin Hartman. In some cases the shared supplementary content (e.g. youtube videos) was missing, that would be great if those would be updated. Thank you for the course.

Absolutely terrible course and professor. Throws generic, outdated, and macro-level marketing ideas on and slides and then proceeds to read them to you. Not indicative of the real world. Quizzes have typos, and don't cover the exact content from the videos. You'd be much better off watching TED Talks from respected business leaders than to waste your time and energy in this course.

Professor is like reading the a text from somewhere. It is not natural and keep monotony through all course. It was the same for previous course from same professor. Nobody speaks like this normally. One could read a book or text instead. It doesn't motivate and make it difficult to follow.

i am unable to check and view my certificate without verifying my ID although i completed the course with 97% grade.

and i'm having problems with verifying my ID

so disappointed !!!!!

The two or three minute videos were annoying. I understand that this is what video marketing is about and, PS, not too many people truly watch the videos. Lessons should be 30 minutes each.

It was not the best course I did in Coursera. The teacher was distracted and I had some issues in following her. The information was sometimes too basic and other time on much in depth.

It is my job since years but I think it is a good practice to review periodically what we know about a certain business area. Especially because Digital Media and Digital Marketing are always under development.It took a total amount of 10 hours including the peers for me, just to test the knowledge. This course would be perfect also for a beginner (but keep in consideration a 10/15 hours for 4 week at least to study the topics). Honestly I also learned a lot of new things such as marketing techniques, thinking and analysis systems.Time to time on the path to complete the full course...What did I like the most? The professor, very well prepared and focused about the mega potential of social media channels and online strategies but he spent a lot of words to say that the most important #digital #asset for a business it is the #website. Grazie mille professor! All of us in the sector we need people like you that support and validate this important fact.

Comment in spanish for my fellow spanish speakers:

Estoy muy feliz de haber hecho parte de este curso, no solo me enseñó los fundamentos del Marketing Digital y sus estrategias (junto a una inmensa mayoría de vocabulario que será necesario entender si se desea continuar estudiando marketing), sino que también me permitió poner a prueba los conocimientos adquiridos a través de un caso real. Lo recomiendo.
