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.

Was a very basic introduction course, I wish there was a quick lesson on where to go to learn the application of SEO, too.

The course should go deeper on the algorithm and tools, even if it is just an introductory course on the specialization.

It would have been way better and more interesting if they had focussed on videos lectures rather than more readings.

The insights given and topics covered are good. Perhaps a little more explanation and justification is needed.

Clear but a bit superficial. Hope the rest of the course will flesh out in more detail the various topics.

Relevance of the first three weeks of this course is low and not up-to-date. Week four was fine though.

Content is good but there is no practice whatsoever. So much theory can become boring at times.

Seems like a lots of repetition of basic ideas that essentially boil down to user experience.
