Course Feedback 1. Context This is the second online course Iâve studied seriously. My first was âĐŃĐ˝ĐžĐ˛Ń ŃаСŃайОŃки на C++: йоНŃĐš пОŃŃâ (Basics of C++ Development: White Belt) by MIPT & Yandex, which set a high bar in clarity, pacing, and practice. 2. What worked well * Clear structure: The overall roadmap is easy to follow and helps you understand what youâll learn and when. * Practical templates: The provided templates are useful starting points and reduce âblank-pageâ friction. * Strong opening module: The first moduleâs activities (brainstorming, planning) were genuinely valuable. They took time, but they produced meaningful insights and a realistic plan. 3. Where the course fell short (and how to improve) 3.1 Delivery feels scripted, not authentic Issue: The instructor frequently reads from a script; the voiceover and screen-read segments sound robotic. This clashes with the courseâs core message about authenticity. Impact: Itâs harder to trust or connect with the guidance when the delivery doesnât model it. Suggestions: * Re-record key lessons with natural delivery (bullet notes rather than full scripts). * Add short âoff-scriptâ reflections: what worked, what failed, real metrics, quick stories. 3.2 Relevance drops after the first module Issue: Later activities skew toward a âfake bakeryâ scenario instead of letting learners apply everything to their own accounts. Impact: Exercises feel detached from learnersâ real goals. Suggestions: * Offer two tracks for every task: (A) use the bakery demo or (B) apply to your own brand/account with clear prompts and checklists. * Include review rubrics that make sense for both tracks. 3.3 Content simplicity and repetition Issue: Many tips are very basic and repeat information already covered; some readings are longer than their value. Impact: Engagement drops; time-on-task doesnât translate to depth. Suggestions: * Compress or merge overlapping lessons. * Mark sections as âBeginner refresher (optional)â to respect advanced learnersâ time. * Add âLevel-Upâ boxes with advanced tactics, edge cases, and examples using actual data. 3.4 Assessments donât measure learning well Issue: Quizzes are too easy; multi-answer questions often have only one obviously incorrect option. Impact: Scores donât signal mastery; learners can âpassâ without understanding. Suggestions: * Write distractors that reflect real misconceptions. * Include scenario-based questions (e.g., choose a content plan given constraints or analytics). * Add at least one graded peer-review assignment with a clear rubric. 3.5 Production choices reduce engagement Issue: Many ânon-readingâ videos are still screen recordings with robotic narration. Impact: Low energy and limited connection with the instructor. Suggestions: * Mix formats: talking-head segments, quick demos, annotated case studies, and short (60â120 sec) âauthenticity checkâ clips after major lessons. * Show real assets (posts, analytics, A/B tests), including failures and iterations. 4. Impact on my learning Positive: I left with a structured plan and practical templates from the first module. Negative: Later modules felt less applicable to my context, and the easy assessments didnât push me to demonstrate mastery. 5. What would make this a 5-star course for me * Instructor delivery that models authenticity (conversational tone, candid examples). * Consistent âapply-to-your-own-accountâ options for every activity. * Tighter, non-repetitive lessons with optional beginner refreshers. * Realistic, challenge-based quizzes and a rubric-driven capstone that uses my brand/content, not just the demo bakery. * More case studies with real metrics and before/after iterations. 6. Final note I appreciate the effort that went into the course designâespecially the structure and the first moduleâs depth. With more authentic delivery, more relevant application paths, and stronger assessments, this course could be excellent for both beginners and returning learners.

I enjoyed the course. You do learn a lot. If you are new to social media it's great. If you have been working with it for a while then it's great review with a few new pieces of information. The projects are good, the final projects are very tedious though and I can understand why. Overall great course and highly recommend!

Tolgo una stella solo per delle modalità di upload nel test finale: per la valutazione della sequenza delle storie è stato richiesto un video e non i file foto, cosa che ha portato via maggior tempo solo per registrarlo, passarlo sul computer e poi il tempo di upload.

Es bueno para iniciar si no sabes nada del tema, es un poco general y creo que estaba un tris desactualizado en formatos pero completo y te da una buen perspectiva general

For someone who has had Instagram since day one, I keep failing the same assignment over and over at the same score 65%. Not even multiple questions either! I spent my money for nothing. I failed more here in this one assignment than My whole 2 Data Analysis courses.

I don't have nor want Instagram and you can't proceed without it. The course description doesn't alert you of this. I took it for personal knowledge. I don't own a business
