The course structures are organised and easy to follow. I love the way examples are set consistently and linked to the theories throughout. This makes it easier to follow and understand in depth.

The tasks given each week are well-assigned. They help me significantly to apply the theories into practical examples. They allow me to think how I could link what I learn into practices.

It is very easy to follow. Your courses being offered were precise and easy to understand. It taught me many things about Social Media Marketing. I realize that there is more to just managing a facebook business ad, upload videos on youtube, create posts for businesses. I learned the step by step process that will surely come in handy. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

It is the real deal. I thought it was gonna be a walk in the park. Then, it fed so many good relevant information, teaching me how to break down and figure out how to market through Social Media. Now, I'm going up to the rooftop with bullhorn telling people to take this course to empower ourselves on what we can do to make good use of Social Media, because it is the future.

I enjoyed the content and I found the peer evaluation assignments very helpful to understand the concepts covered.

I did have issues when I tried to evaluate others.

For example one person answered in a language I do not speak, I tried to end the evaluation because it would not be accurate, however they was no system to do so. Hence I could not give an honest evaulation.

I have some bare bones idea about Social Media Marketing but I ended up learning a lot especially about SMART goals KPIs and Customer Journey which I never really understood and having worked on a case study about made sure that I actually learnt what I set out to do. Also, I think understanding the role of having a social media policy shall work wonders for my career

This is my first time joining online course at Coursera and it was a life changing for me. As a person who is still struggling to define what career path should I take, this course helps me to find the answer. In addition, this course is very flexible where I could do it in my favorable time plus it provides quiz and assignments which are very challenging yet helpful.

This course was presented very well in all regards- grom clear expectations and overview of the materials, knowledge and skills to be covered in each module, to providing examples, exercises to practice and apply concepts, and statistics to support the information provided. Very informative and overall a must for any business professional, no matter in what capacity!

I was able to really deepen my understanding of how social media platforms work and how they can be used to achieve desired results. Course 1 has had an large impact on my perspective on the world and marketing, I see it the marketing everywhere and even better, I have a better understanding of what the message is, and how they got it to me. I love what I am learning!

Very informational and in depth. Loved this course and I cannot wait to continue to the next ones! This is set up in a way that if you only have a few spare hours a week you can easily finish it in the time given. If you have all the time in the world (thanks covid for no job) you can easily finish a head of schedule and give more time and effort into your education!

Excellent resource.

Great teacher and delivery.

Even though I had experience with social media marketing, the course taught me many new things. Guess what? I also enrolled my daughter in the course. She also enjoyed it a lot.

The way it has been designed, the learning pedagogy, quizzes, assignments, and reinforcement activities were synergizing each other. thank you.

I loved it. I learned about the history and landscape of social media, SMART goals, KPIs, customer persona, and journey. The best thing about this course was its practical real-life examples. Moreover, the assignments really gave me hands-on experience. However, grading peer assignments is something other than what I liked. There should be some other grading system

it really is an introduction because half of the course is a review and analytics of the social media platforms. I almost think half of the course is an ad for facebook's other apps. my relevant learning here started at week 3 and the worksheets are very helpful. As well as grading your peers, you really can see who is exerting effort in the worksheets they submit.

As someone who is only somewhat familiar with social media marketing, this was an easy to follow and interesting course to open my eyes to new possibilities. It also trained me to treat each assignment as though it were a real request from a client. I really appreciate the detail and ease in which Anke Audenart explained each concept so beautifully and succintly.

I appreciate having a transcript. I am more eye focused and the videos make it hard for me to accomplish more long term learning. I went through the course quickly due to having a free trial period, but will now go back and focus more on the entire contact to learn it more throughly. My free trial made me a convert. I plan to take more courses. Thank you.

I really liked this course, it widened my horizons, even though my main concentration is not marketing, I think the information that we get from this course can play a very crucial role in each individual's social media life. I also learned many things from peer learning part, as I wanted to review my peers' submissions. thanks for letting us that option.

I thought this introduction courses was a typical introduction with lot of well-known insight we can easily found in internet, but I was wrong. I got tons of new knowledge and especially a structured information of social media marketing which I haven't have before. Thank you, I'm more motivated to learn in the next courses and finish the certification.

I really loved that class. I am a beginner in Social Media Marketing and this course was as simplistic as I needed. The videos were very explanatory and the assignments were very helpful. Even though I already know the basic about Facebook, Instagram, etc., I found much more useful info. Easy language to understand as English is not my native language.

A very wonderful course. I recommend it to everyone. It is organized, divided, and very sensitive. I did not feel bored, unlike other courses. After the enthusiasm of the beginnings ended, I felt bored, but here I was always excited to learn more, and I loved that each part had an exam for continuous review to ensure the consistency of the information.
