This course was the most difficult so far and took longer because of the unfamiliarity with Cognos. But you will learn a lot and become proficient with the basics of that tool. I made a lot of use of the Discussion forum during this one and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and promptness of the responses by staff member Pooja Patel.

In my opinion, the step-by-step instructions could benefit from a "narrative" portion along with the "script" portion that simply describes which buttons to click and where to place your cursor. It begins to feel like doing taxes--checking boxes without quite understanding how it all fits together. Even though you eventually get a wider view of the activity, from grading others' submissions it's clear some students struggle getting there in time to complete their best work. Even just a paragraph to remind students that "you're creating a visualization that expresses X compared to Y, so it's important to include items A, B and D because the chart would not be informative without them." I think people sometimes get so obsessed with the many mechanical details involved they overlook some of the most important information they need to include.

This course is great for beginners who would like to enhance their reporting skills. Although it is basic, it goes to show how as simple as learning the different graphs and software such as Cognos are very important in producing high quality reports/dashboards. Especially when such simplicity is forgotten in reporting and often in the industry practice Senior Management are always making requests which ends up with information overload that confuses the audience. In the end, most Senior Management only looks at the key piece information and this is what this course emphasize on. I only provided 4-stars as I would have expected more advanced techniques as I know already most of the materials the course offers (besides Cognos)

I love this course but I won't give it the 5th start as I don't find it fair that our work is evaluated from people doing the course. This means it's not someone experienced enough and it can be confusing if you get the right answers and follow the instructions but someone that maybe didn't understand it properly will evaluate you incorrectly. It happened me and it took me time to double check my work just to find out I was doing it right but still not getting the correct grades. Other than that great content and good courses.
