The first part was very necessary to move ahead in the certificate programme. It taught basics of digital marketing and e-Commerce and went in-depth on some topics that was really good. looking forward to take remaining parts of the course to be a superman in the field of Digital Marketing and e-commerce. Those reading this review should take other free courses from Coursera like Excel and Canva etc. to be more attractive to future recruiters.

Great overview, and all the videos were very well designed. The glossary is a great add which you will get to download near the end of the course. If you have little exposure to marketing and the data that marketers utilize you will be introduced to a great deal of enlightening concepts which will not only put you on your way to be successful, but I feel is good for a consumer to be aware of. I am only more enthusiastic about what is to come.

This course stands out for several reasons. 1. You can gain comprehensive knowledge about the area. It is like a map to start the digital marketing journey. 2. The lecture is insightful yet concise and done in simple terms, so a beginner like me can understand easily. 3. Not only the lecture but also the testimonials and advice from Googlers are inspiring and insightful. This is an excellent course to start in digital marketing.

The videos were very clear and informative. I really loved how they highlighted several Google employees and their unique journeys.

I take this opportunity to thank you all for the guidance and making this learning a wonderful experience. The videos are crystal clear with great speech. However , I also like to request to create a few more visuals for explaining important terminologies. It will help. I'm liking it.

Very well written course and interactive discussions helped me learn basics of Digital marketing. The graphical information was helpful, quiz was fun and popup quiz in the video keeps you alert while watching the video. I thought it would be boring but Coursera reminders and status kept me motivated to finish this segment of the course. Its a long journey but well started. All the best to all students and learners.

The course itself was a great start and foundation for all the basics around digital marketing and e-commerce. I look forward to continuing with the subsequent courses. I'm just disappointed that I have to wait 15 days for more applications for financial aid for those courses, as I can't afford it just on my own. I was under the assumption that my financial aid had approved me for the entire certification program.

This course gave me broader view of online marketing techniques. Though I didn't get an in-depth knowledge but I got the understanding of where I stood in my new career path. This has in turn motivated me to follow my new seen passion with greater zeal so I want to complete all the course in this certificate so I can develop my skill to a new level where I can be better prepared to complete my ambitions and goals.

Strong foundation. Lots of great applicable information. Very well structed and organized. Could be shortened with the integration of reading dictation software while also increasing course awareness for the target market of the hearing impaired. Overall, should be used as a foundational class in high school aged students and broken down into two semester course for middle school age students. Great job!

I really loved the interviews from different people who came from non-marketing backgrounds. I also really loved that the dialogue was transcribed and we could highlight and save notes from them. It made things so much smoother. I also love the positive side of marketing that was explored that it's a way to bring value to people and make a positive difference. This was a great course.
