I will examine the Introduction to Marketing

The instructors – Darren Dahl & Paul Cubbon by the UBCx

Just by the very first 2 minutes of the intro video I got hooked by both the instructors.They are great speakers , funny and don’t let you lose your interest.Additionally next to the video window there is the “TEXT” of the speaking part as following the video motion , like having subtitles but outside of the video console.

The 2nd course was another brilliant example of the quality of edX courses.That course was examining the way marketing evolved and continues to evolve through time.Marketing is a live science , always progressing.

Darren gave 4 awesome examples , 4 mini case studies , explaining very interesting parts and hidden aspects of modern marketing I have never imagined before.

As a result to my excitement I’m going to attend the whole course to completion.I will update this thread when I am finished to post my experience.

Verified Certificates

On every course there is information in case you need a verification.This is a paid service and for example the introduction to marketing verification costs $50.
