    You get out of this course what you are willing to put into it. It is possible to skim through this course and still manage to get over the very low hurdles required to show content mastery. The information felt outdated in places. Since this is such a developing part of marketing, I would like to make sure I am reading the latest studies and articles reflecting current trends, not information that is a year or more outdated. However, there really was an excellent variety of supportive links and media to illustrate the various concepts in tangible ways.

    This is an up-to-date course on digital marketing and a great way to launch into a micro-Masters in the field. Multiple case studies and very useful summaries at the end of each module are included.

    I am taking this course now and I like it a lot.

    The content is concise and informative. A lot of links to extra material. The difficulty is easy to medium . This is my second one and I am aiming to finish this micro master.

    It's a good course to start with Social Media Marketing, though it gets a bit repetitive by the last module and is in some serious need of an update on some articles.

    Same as other reviewer, said class is In Progress, but see no course information. Could've sent an email or updated those interested who'd bothered to sign up.
