Content Strategy for Professionals: Capstone Project

Great experience

I loved the capstone project. Since I am still preparing to become a Content Strategist and did not have any actual project work to show people, it gave me an opportunity to showcase what I have to offer. Also, as an Instructional Designer, I believe that, ”Doing is the one of the best ways of learning" and after completing all the courses in this certification, a hands-on experience is what I needed to feel confident of my knowledge of the subject and skill. The best part was how the project was designed to be unique for everyone and yet had a consistent brief and background. Everyone designed their strategy and the web page for a particular geography, which made it unique but with the same brief in mind, which helped maintain a consistent style and approach. Peer reviewing other's work was also a greta way to learn.Thanking You

Great experience!

Very challenging with the goal to bring a complete strategy to life.

Loved the entire course and the teaching materials. Has been very informative, engaging and highly relevant. Will come back for more.

It's a good project from learning point. As what ever one learns in the courses, implements it.

This required a lot of work with little gained. Some questions, referring to budgets and site layouts, required skills that weren't learned in the course. The 3 word feedback comments I got from all reviewers did not feel like worthy responses to the amount of time I put into this project. Additionally, I was graded negatively by some reviewers without reason, as happened in other sections. Overall, not really worth the money for a paid certificate. Would be nice if maybe for the capstone only, some sort of professional or professor weighed in on your project for some legitimate and helpful critique.

While I appreciated the challenge of the capstone project, I didn't feel like the assignment's requests accurately aligned or represented what was provided in the lecture series. As someone who bought this course as one large pack (four courses, one capstone project), it would've been nice to see more intersection. I felt a little "in the dark" on some of this. Given the short timeline to finish the work, too, many of these requests need more time (e.g. building personas needs user research, ideally). All in all, a good challenge to a content professional, but don't expect all of this to align with what you learned in the lecture series.
