There were not enough practical tasks and I would like more interactivity and less "talking head". But in general, the course provides cool fundamental knowledge.

It lacks only of hard theories and evidence about the topics being discussed by the professor. Still, the course is great and the professor is fun and lovely. :-)

Senti falta de abordar o potencial do LinkedIn para a construção de marca pessoal. Senti falta da matriz de personal branding, para concluir um documento prático.

Interesting and relevant information but not very in-depth. It's a great course if this is a new concept for you but not if you have any background in it.

In my opinion, the course could go deeper, but as an introduction, it is good, covers a wide variety of topics, and the teacher is extremely engaging.
