A good and inexpensive introduction to copywriting with some time spent on relevant business concepts. I wish I had taken Writing for Content Marketing, as that's what I'm more interested in, but I guess this course helped me learn that about myself. There are no grades, just assignments, for this course. Overall, I probably spent about 3 hours per week on the material and got in some face-time with the instructor.
