  1. Very informative

    Very informative would highly recommend!

  2. 1

    I have done other courses via Coursegate which are great – but this one was very disappointing. The course consists entirely of powerpoint presentation videos with commentary.

    The commentary in places was somewhat stuttery, with words being mistaken and not following the presentation. For example, at one point the commentator says “Buzzfeed” when he means “Buzzsumo” – two very different things!

    There is no way to check your progress or get feedback as there is no end of unit quizzes or assignments. On reaching the end of a unit you simply move on to the next one – leaving the learner feel demotivated.

    I’m powering through but overall this course is not worth the money – free courses I have found online are much better.
