I learned quite a bit from this course. I learned about social media platforms that I did not know existed. I was also very interested in the Crypto portion of this course, as I am relatively new to Crypto. It was informational and educational. Thank you!

I think the class was very valuable, however, it felt rushed. The instructor did say to interrupt anytime with questions, however there was a lot to go through so I don't think people wanted to interject. Also, it's hard in an online setting to gauge everyone's knowledge (whether it's a lot or a little). Sometimes it felt like we rushed over the things that I was unfamiliar with and took our time with the material I already knew. I think a survey prior to the first session of what students expectations are and any questions they want to see answered would greatly help. Lastly, I took this class hoping we would learn a lot more about Insagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, Facebook, etc. accounts, how to create them, and more discussion regarding the legalities, but that was sort of brushed over.

The instructor had a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of Social Media and Cryptocurrency. The topics covered appeared to be more advanced than what I was expecting as I was seeking a more entry level training into utilizing social media as part of investigations. The course would be excellent for an investigator that has a basic understanding of social media prior to taking the course. This review is not a negative reflection of the instructor as he was very informative and engaging while delivering the course.
