This was a very helpful introductory course which helped me to understand further areas of study I need to pursue in order to be effective in this field! Thanks UC Davis, I really enjoyed this course.

Great course, very informative!! I can tell the classes are starting to be structured differently though. Not too much meat to this first course... reserving my opinion, until I go through a few more.

Good for general knowledge but still do not know how to start optimizing my website. Rather historical than practical

This was more like the history of SEO, you don't really learn too much about the hands-on technical aspects of SEO.

Teaching Quality Is Very Low, Information is also lacked, By The Way Tutor words are not understable.

not looking to start a career in SEO. this was geared toward a career not as a skillset to learn. :(

Very theoretical and history oriented with no hands on. The career part was totally irrelevant.

I submitted 3 out of 4 lessons. The submissions weren't registered and the course has listed my assignments as overdue. Furthermore, the written dialogue was cut off before the end in each of the weeks. I am very disappointed in the quality of this course. I have taken other courses thru Coursera and am very pleased with them But not with this one!

I've been attempting to access this for a few days now, but it keeps showing the message "Sorry, we are down for maintenance." I'm hoping that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible because I can't complete the entire course without accessing this content. Thanks!

The way this course was presented was time consuming and full of new info and they depended on talking talking without enough graphic and practice

Did not use enough practical or visual presentation, feel just reading a book for me. So hard to concentrate.

Un bodrio, muy largo para el contenido histórico que en definitiva no es aplicable al día de hoy.

Una pena.

Too technical with a lot of irrelevant info e.g.typical day of a seo mgr and job description analysis

Introduction to SEO. You shouldn't expect nothing more that some superficial topics being explained.

The course is really boring and it doesn't spike interest so seems to me like a waste of time

it teaches you about the seo career, interview etc more than how to perform seo itself.
