It is good, but it is a bit too basic.

While the course was informative and interesting, it needs to be updated.

A number of web links no longer work, and the interviews and examples are now outdated after three years. Also, the professor doesn't seem to look over and grade assignments. It is just fellow students critiquing grading you. I would have liked the professor's critique on my assignments, especially since I paid $50 for the course.

This is a biggner course and not an intermediate course, it explains alot of aspects of sports marketing but i expected waaaay more from an intermediate course as shown, a lot of the interviews were unrelevant and Candy Lee lectures could be improved alot. Again for a beginner it is a good course but for some that have a minimum knowledge of marketing and is a sports fan, this course wont do anything for you.

I really enjoyed the course, the mix of interviews and then just teaching videos was really good. The thought of having to do these long assignments was quite daunting and I didn't want to do them but with the help and the way they were set out it was really useful. The assignments were totally worth it and now I feel more confident in other things because of it. The only thing I would say that is bad is that you don't get a certificate unless you pay £40 which is more a problem with coursera than the sports marketing course.

The information was eloquently delivered and expertly presented, captivating the audience with its clarity and depth. Each point was articulated with precision, accompanied by compelling visuals and engaging anecdotes, showcasing the speaker's mastery of both content and delivery. The seamless transitions and confident demeanor further underscored the presenter's command of the subject matter, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.

I have a University degree in Business and a Master in Business Administration (dated back in 2003), it's good to refresh my knowledges of marketing fundamentals and update my skills.

The course is very interesting, especially for people working in the sports business like me.

The Prof. Candy is very clear in her explanations. Easy to understand every class and the assignments are also very helpful.

I would definitely suggest it.

This was truly a fantastic course as it exposes you to the monumental influence marketing has in the world of sports. It has an array of interviews from respectable experts within the industry, who provide great insight into the module topics. I also enjoyed the peer-graded assignments since they allow you to be creative while practicing the concepts of writing a press release and planning a loyalty program.

Thank you so much Ms. Lee!! This was a heck of a great course. I have had a curiosity in Sports Business in last couple of years, but I couldn't find out how to learn. This program just made my dream come true, and probably would help my career. It was fun to study in any module and video. Learning from people already have lots of experience in this business, getting more will to learn. Thank you, again!!

The course is much more challenging than the previous one. The teacher is very dedicated, which results in high expectations, extensive assignments,and the need for abundant supplementary materials, Give a thumbs up to the teacher, Thanks for the professor.

A great way to learn about the sports industry. I believe the use of interviews throughout de course help present different points of view in the subject, thereby showing students a in depth experience of what a sports professional does.
