The structure of the course was not as organized and well laid out as the previous courses in the specialization. However, the content was informative and very applicable.

I had the feeling the lectures was at the beginning little messy, unstructured with a lot of information at once. Later on you get used to and find it quite informative and easy to follow.

Liked the content and picked up skills I can apply today. Some of it was repetitive which dragged the course a little longer and many short videos that could have been condensed.

The first course, where I actually learned something new (and I've completed 5). It's a bit hard at first, but you definitely learn things. Recommend the most on Coursera!

Lots of good information - but ironically, this is the course that reminds marketers that broken links are inexcusable....even as this course has broken links.
