I love this course a lot, I mean the whole courses that I already took. It is easy to understand and it does help me to know more about my job scope. Although I am just an administrative assistant in a digital marketing institute, I am assigned to marketing tasks from time to time and I don't have much ideas about digital marketing especially when it comes to marketing in digital. not the stereotype of digital marketing. This course is more in-depth and I really enjoy my learning. I am planning to finish all the seven courses although my working schedule these day is swamped but I really wanna give it a try. It is worth it and recommended for those who wants to know more about social media marketing and media marketing. I really enjoyed spending my time learning about the topics. Thank you, Professor Yao! :D

The content of the course was well structured and offer really useful and dated information. The assigments and the talking points were relevat to the subject and challenging. Lots of question in one topic however defenetly contected and interlocated with the discussed subject and it's objective. I definetly feel more confident and knowledgeable about the role of the communication in marketing and its ramifications.

The Course is full of key and crucial information - combined with practical and theoretical basis. The video lectures are laconic, interactive by nature and quite visual - which makes the information provided even more interesting and close-to-the-point. I am grateful for this course and the experience I had with it. I will absolutely come back to it every time I need it.

An amazing course! I have learned so much from this course in a fun easy way. What I have enjoyed most about it, is how interactive it is while it is online and prerecorded. The extra reading suggestions and the video suggestions, as well as the plenty of examples given, helped me grasp the material very well. Thank you Dr. Yao, somehow, I will miss you!

The topics seen in this course are very interesting and above all current. Professor Mike Yao is an excellent transmitter of knowledge and above all what I liked the most were the questions in his exams because not only do you answer what you must answer, but it makes you reflect. This is the whole course, reflection and learning.

Rhiannon Clifton is a teacher I sensed as not very good at the beginning of the course. To my surprise she acquired such self confidence in the end that I can say I am very glad I was part of her course. I would like to have another chance to be on her courses in the future. Congrats!! I know you are on the right path for teaching

I just loved this course! It is very very interesting, useful, lots of information and insights, improved my perception of Digital marketing. I loved the content and don't think it is heavy at all if you already have basic knowledge of marketing. I'm sure I will finish all other courses inside Digital marketing specialization.

A very good course that covers the subject of "Digital Media and Marketing Principles" in detail. The well-structured curriculum guides the participant through the topics in a targeted manner. The time and submission deadlines are demanding - but also feasible if the course is to be carried out alongside work.

It provides learners with the concepts and skills necessary for searching and researching information in libraries and online. Lectures are clear and well organized. There are activities for students to go deeper into the topics (optional) and quizzes that helped them to check the main concepts.

Very good course and well assembled. The teacher begins with general well known things from other previous courses in the specialization, then starts introducing new things and overviews from Search Engines, Social Media, OOH and Direct Marketing.

I am sure any other student will like the course.

I enjoyed the difficulty of this course, however at times the questions seemed irrelevant and frustrating to find the information that the questions referred to. I believe some refinement is due here, but the difficulty was satisfying difficult compared to previous courses!

Thank you! The course content was good. Would suggest the faculty to share more examples for some of the topics. Instead of quizzes, I guess assignments would be an ideal way to evaluate people's understanding as peer assessment helps in gaining more knowledge and ideas.
