That is my third completed Coursera course and I really enjoyed it!

There you will find well-structured information, divided into engaging videos and interesting documents. Testing is also well-organized for consolidation of knowledge: good quizzes with detailed comments on the answers (including small questions in the video), as well as regular peer-review assignments, that help not only test and apply your understanding, but also read other opinions.

Es espectacular este curso, literalmente es el titulo, una introduccion completisima, la instructora explica muy bien, los ejemplos que dan en las clases te hacen entender lo que uno estudia, la duracion de las clases es precisa, no dura ni mucho, ni poco y dejan en claro lo que quieren explicar. Uno se da cuenta que aprendio cuando hace las pruebas y los trabajos, creanme que no tuve que repasar contenidos, me quedo aprendido todo lo que vi.

A very interesting and interactive course, with many concrete and clear examples. Even if you are already used to social networks, going back to the basics is very beneficial.

I really liked the dynamism and fluidity of the speaker, Anke Audenaert.

The exercises to be done are interesting and allow us to go back to the basics and the steps that we sometimes skip a bit quickly, due to lack of time...

I recommend this course without hesitation.

Absolutely AMAZING! The instructor is so knowledgable and her accent kept me interested! The course walks you through the basics, step by step and has mini quizes, section quizes, lots of resources and links to discussion forums. I can't say enough positive things about this course. I will constantly advocate on Coursera's layout and structure, as well as this Meta course specifically! I'm looking forward to continuing to the next course!

This course was interesting and comprehensive. Though I knew a lot about different social platforms going in, I still learned something and the presenter held my attention. I especially liked the activities throughout, I expected to learn skills I could apply at the end of the certificate, but the benefit of working on strategy for my own business as I progress through the course was a benefit a didn't expect and really appreciated.

The instructor was very concise and presented the course well. The excercises and quizzes were neither too hard nor too easy. The course is very informative on who would like to view a quick snapshot of Social Media Marketing. I recommend this, though, on people doesn't have any background on digital marketing. Those already on the field might find this repetitive or redundant, especially the part on how to open a LinkedIn account.

I use social media platform a lot. But when I really need to do digital marketing, it's completely different thing. Therefore I start my course here. I learnt a lot, it doesn't mean everything in this course is completely new to me. It means that this course gives me a big picture about social media platform from the view of marketer, and it helps me to build the marketing mindset rather than a personal user.

More thorough than I had anticipated! It doesn't just cover facebooks properties but also a broad look at all platforms & their potential to grow your business. I'd recommend this course to a friend or family member who is new to marketing on social media. For someone more advanced you may be able to skip or breeze through a fair bit of this course but it reinforces good fundamentals. Thanks Anke!

This course covers the basics every social media professional should know. Even though most of the content is kind of obvious for millennials and Gen Z that are already familiarized with social media platforms, I still got to learn interesting facts, frameworks, and practices. I came up with new ideas that seemed "obvious" but never thought about them before. I would recommend this course.

Throughout this course, I learned the basics of Social Media Marketing and how to establish a business presence on social media. I felt the videos were very informative and actually taught me more than my Social Media Marketing college courses. I enjoy the peer review projects and I think it's great to review other's work as it ensures that you're truly understanding what you're learning.

This course has definitely given me the proper knowledge and very specific guidelines to the amazing and powerful concept of Social Media Marketing. Even though I already had some knowledge, this course definitely helped to not feel overwhelmed. Having my own start-up company and wanting to become a social media manager, this course is hands down the best thing that could happen to you.

This course is a must for people who aspire to become an expert in social media marketing from scratch. I cant believe I’ve learned so much from this course, easy to follow and understand. The instructor delivered the topics clearly and maintained a lively class all through out. Absolutely she is an excellent speaker and a mentor. Great job Ms. Anke Audenaert! I will miss this course.

I have introversion tendencies, which is why Marketing has never even crossed my mind previously. However, this course has changed how I view Marketing, especially Social Media Marketing. The instructor was very excellent in her delivery of the course materials, and the accompanying files were of great help. I am a university student, and this Coursera certificate means a lot to me.

Aprendi muito sobre o papel das mídias sociais e como cada uma tem seus objetivos dentro de um negócio. A descrição do negócio foi de suma importância além das metas, kpis, personas e mapa de jornada do cliente trouxeram grandes ensinamentos para minha futura carreira.

I didn't know what to expect from the course, but I learned so much in a short period of time. This course is well worth it, and I look forward to learning Course 2. I'm excited and I really took pride in learning the material and doing a good job with the study materials, quizzes, and projects due each week so the material would stick and I could have a firm grasp on the concepts.
