This course is a fantastic introduction to the world of digital marketing. Each point is explained in terms students of all backgrounds can understand and grasp. I took this course to prepare for a potential opportunity in my workplace and it has certainly paid off! Auditing the course gave me access to all of the course material and knowledge I needed without having to empty my bank account. With student debt, this was a lifesaver and career builder.

Good foundation of information on investigating and structuring objectives and campaigns... Real work comes by exploring more current information, sources, and tools. Basic information instructed could be more current, however, I believe that by the velocity of change the course could never be up to the minute timely. Additionally you would lose the developmental history and would not develop the investigative skills necessary to excel in this field.

Such a wonderful lecturer, very engaging. I work for a business development consultancy and took this course as a part of the Digital Marketing Specialization - basically to just gain a better understanding of the industry. I can see how this can benefit those who actually want to master marketing analytics, but it's also extremely useful for people like me whose main goal is to understand the industry language and basic concepts.

This course helped me to learn the theory of Digital Marketing Analytics in an engaging way. Analytics seem boring to me, but this course helped me find fun in it. I also learned many interesting topics such as Cache, Tag, etc. I've heard about the definition of these terms many times before, but never understood what purpose these are used for. Thanks a lot Kevin Hartman Sir for making analytics interesting for me.

High quality learning with relevant industry expert instructor Kevin Hartman. Excellent lectures. Tremendous amount of supporting learning material was also available with the course. Specifically recommended book Web Analytics Demystified is a great source of learning in depth about web analytics. Overall I achieved in my learning more than I expected from this course.

Really learning a lot from this course. Kevin is obviously very knowledgeable in his field but a bit boring with monotone which has nothing to do with his abilities to teach us and understand the subject in depth and more clearly. I am very thankful to Kevin, as well as Uni of Illinois and Coursera for letting me to be a part of this learning opportunity. Thank You.

Very valuable course.

Watched videos on x1.5 speed, read articles from 2016 only (older ones are not that relevant today, in 2018, unless I am really interested in the article's subject), performed no assignments (this course is rather simple one, I will tighten up my new skills during my everyday work). Recommend the same to everyone.

I really loved this course and learned a lot about Analytics. It helped me get the best idea of how a talented analyst thinks and that is something that is not easily taught. I'm very thankful to our instructor Kevin for providing us with quality lectures and great reading material. Of course, thank you to Coursera as well!

The course was great but its taking a bit long to get a grade due to the peer assessments. I think I completed this course more than a month ago and I still have not received a grade. Enjoyed it though and I am presently taking the other courses in the specialisation. I am way behind but I like what I have learnt so far

This is a good course for those who want to better understand the various ways to gather data/information about their customers. The course notes the questions to ask at various areas of the consumer decision cycle and then the data needed to answer those questions; this course offers potential tools to get that data.

Very interesting course, indeed. Although it could go a little bit deeper on the examples given during the course. I learned new concepts and the clarity of the subjects is just perfect for beginners like me. I really enjoy it! Thanks for all the effort Coursera put on it, so people like me can learn effectively.

Kevin Hartman is a very knowledgeable person. He is amongst the best brains in the industry. He has tried to explain the Marketing Analytics in very simple terms and good examples. Being a little old course, lot of changes have already taken place in the industry. But it is a worth pursuing course.

Definitely a very interesting course. The instructor made learning the basics of marketing analytics very easy to consume and understand. The pdf book that's in this course also packs a lot of good information that can be used as a reference later through your entire marketing campaign.

I found the Digital Analytics for Marketing Professionals: Marketing Analytics in Theory course very interesting because I learned new things. It seems to me that it is necessary to update it since it contains information until 2017 and the digital world is constantly changing.

First of all I was surprised because of the teacher, he is from the Google Staff. In Spain is mostly impossible to have a teacher like this even if you pay 15,000 €. In the other hand this course is "simple", you don't have to expend much time on it". It is what it says it is.

This course opened my eyes to new ways on analyzing data. I used to monitor and conclude our data in a shallow way, but with the new models and tools that I learned from this course, I can now go farther in analyzing and i wouldn't feel intimidated in constructing my goals.
