Comentários e feedback de alunos de Introduction to Data Analysis Using Excel da instituição Universidade Rice

This is just an Excel basics course. But the word Data Analysis misguides, as if this is at some advanced or at moderate level. Those who have working experience in excel may not find this course interesting or may not get much of new learnings. It teaches about some commonly used features in excel. Thats it! This has nothing to do with data analysis.

Consistency between what you learn in the program and what you are quizzed on needs to be checked. Also there are errors in calculations on scores (ie/ I answered 8/10 questions correctly so should be 80% but I was given 70%) is brought up frequently in the discussion forum but does not seem to be addressed.

lessons are very draggy. exercises prepare data very cleanly at hand for you, does not let you simulate real working conditions where you need to know how to prepare data (e.g. what columns i must have etc). does not teach you the thinking bit behind these exercises.

The course is very slow paced. It should be clearly mentioned that the course is for total beginners. I did not expect that lecturer will spend time on so basic information like adding/deleting/renaming various sheets within one excel file...

It would be helpful to provide more examples. The tasks on the quiz did not always reflect example problems, especially in the week 3 section. It would also be more helpful to have more practice problems to attempt with feedback.

I learnt some new skills but there is a serious disconnect between the teaching materials and the assessments, the assessments are significantly harder and you are not given any opportunity to practice before the assessment!

The audio quality of the course is extremely poor, can barely hear the professor. Please check assessment of Week 2, I have tried multiple methods and got the same result however it keeps showing as incorrect.

The lecture delivery is not bad, But the quiz exercises are unnecessarily difficult and sometimes, totally unrelated to the lecture. it makes it difficult for one to move to the next stage.

The level was considerably lower than expected and the pace slower too. Instructions are specific to one version on Excel and were not applicable to my version.

It's too simple, and the courses are kind of redundant. Maybe it is proper for those who have never used Excel. For other people, the courses are too easy.

Pretty basic course with a lot of 'dead time' not really learning anything about Excel. Tutor should consider a few more advanced and useful topics.

Very basic course, course certificate has no university logo on it. Not worth the money.

THE LESSONS AND END OF WEEK QUIZZES DO NOT CORRELATE IN TERMS OF DIFFICULTY LEVELS

voice of the instructor is not clear. Weekly assignments are not so friendly too.

This course is a basic course with really tough graded assignments.

bada muskil course hai , kuch samajh ni aya .... its very hard

No en todos los videos los subtítulos están es español.

Questions asked were in a very difficult manner.

Money maker for University. Cheers to Ric

BASIC AND EASY COURSE FOR BEGINNERS

I was waiting more data analysis.

Course is very limited.

Very basic.

too esay

Data set was US-centric without a ROW data option. I ended up spending more time on figuring out how to format the data rather than focusing on the course, which is s pity for several reasons:

I am an experienced xlsx user and was taking this course only to understand what the focus was on for subsequent courses, and

I was interested in doing the overall specialization as the syllabus fits my interests very much
