This was a very helpful introductory course which helped me to understand further areas of study I need to pursue in order to be effective in this field! Thanks UC Davis, I really enjoyed this course.

I know this is an introductory course, and it offered a good high level overview of SEO, but it seems a little too high level for someone wanting to really understand how SEO works. For someone completely new to SEO, it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Maybe this is by design so that more advanced courses will be taken, but I think providing a bit more detail and case study of the topics presented in the course would go a long way to making this a great course. For example, include different website comparisons for topics like websites with good keyword use, versus bad keyword use, show a site that effectively used back-linking versus one that did not, what did the good site do differently (both in theory and technically speaking), show a well braded website that pulls together many of the concepts versus one that is not, deconstruct a few websites and show how the concepts work, and how to implement the concepts presented. For a intro course, it wouldn’t have to be detailed-that can come later, but having some real world examples would really help the concepts to stick. That said, if you just want a better perfunctory understanding of SEO, this course does that well!

Overall I found the course insightful. Starting from revision of what jobs can one consider having expertise in SEO was an interesting idea of the course designers, but I personally liked it. The following part on the history of internet was also great, as I never really gave much thought to the beginnings. SEO best practices was probably the part that I kind of expected the course to start with, but it was nice to have the perspectives set in place before diving into more technical aspects.
At times I found the videos quite fast and some terms I needed to check additionally to better understand what it is about. The extra reads and videos were very nice and helpful. I must say that the tests were not always as easy I would have expected from the course material and they did require some thought.
I think that if someone has own web and just wants to get to know some basics on how to make it rank a bit better, probably focusing on week 3 and 4, especially extra materials, will be most beneficial.
