"I really thought the content was great and the timing of the lectures were absolutely perfect for online. I have been in numerous online courses in the past and this by far had the best length and assignment layout. Additionally, I did love the fact that content was relevant and current. Great job. My only feedback would be to include TikTok for future assessment [Staff note: TikTok coming soon].
Instructor was the best one I have had hands down. Would love if he taught another class similar to this in the future. Maybe a Social Media Director course? He was absolutely phenomenal." — Participant, Spring 2022
