Good course but week 3 should have been more dynamic. I found week 3 a little less informative.

Information given is amazing but would appreciate if Coursera could update the course as now so much improved ways are being taught for marketing purposes.

The course was interesting and informative but at some point the professors would give reference of such terms that were not discussed before. So it got a little difficult at some point to figure out what they are trying to say.

Felt disorganization in the course but overall would definitely recommend it to a friend because I myself was able to learn so many new things about marketing.

Lectures were very helpful but the slides were non-downloadable.

The slides should have the option to download so that it can be used for a later time as they were very useful and informative.

Very helpful course but more projects should have been given to work on.
