This class has been valuable in that it has shown me a different side to how social media can be used. Since my goals are to be a part of the business aspect of social media, it was important to learn how it makes money. Before this class, my only exposure to social media studies were qualitative things such as exposure and connectivity. It is important to never forget that social media is around to make money. It is a business first, and this class has opened my eyes to that fact. I learned things such as how to market more effectively, and how to choose better business models depending on the audience.
I think that the instructor did a good job in shaping the class. If I could make a better change I think it would be to read more articles. The videos were great, but I think my favorite was this modules pdf. I learned much more from those articles than anything else.
Overall, a great class. Bye!
