A comprehensive course with various techniques of visualizations and presentation. It introduced me to the world of Tableau, and its possibilities to prepare interactive visualizations and dashboards.

This course taught me a lot about data visualisations, dashboarding and presenting to an audience in an extremely insightful way. I was well presented and well worth the time and effort I put into it.

This is the most boring and disappointing course so far. There was so little focus on Tableau. It's a waste of my two weeks of Tableau Desktop free trial. For Tableau, it was so difficult to follow along with the videos and I have to keep rewinding back several times to understand what the instructor was talking about. He doesn't seem to realize that there are newbies taking the course. I have to watch several YouTube videos to understand the material and complete the hands-on activities. This is the only course that I had to use the entire allotted time to complete. Most of the video materials on presentations seem obvious to me since I have always used similar techniques in my presentations even though I didn't know the fancy terminologies attached to the steps and tips. I spent a lot of time trying to learn and memorize those terminologies for my quizzes and challenges.

This is the one course till now which in some point I felt it has unnecessary content. Most of the course content are like general knowledge, which I think will build up those skills once got into a job. Its like trips and tricks more than a course. Those skills cannot be taught through any course rather than facing and gaining it practically.

It focuses very less on the Tableau software which is very essential for creating beautiful visualization. I have learn Tableau again from another e-learning platform.

At some point I also felt that some contents are suddenly of too high level to understand. It lacks balancing between teaching.

Despites there are some very important points in between to consider which are very helpful.

While the overall course is designed very well, I have an issue with your tests and assignments. In them, when I try to review if I have given a wrong answer you recommend broadly the section where the related topic is covered but don't you think an additional explanation along with the reference is necessary, think about it if I am unable to understand something and you again give me just a reference then how can I understand it.

It will be much more helpful if you provide an explanation and an additional reference of where that section was covered.

While the introduction to the steps to giving a great presentation are helpful, the description of how to use Tableau is outdated and not very helpful. Multiple times I had to basically bang on my keyboard to get the steps to work on my own because the speaker's instructions did not align with how Tableau functions. I ended up with a lot of frustration with this course and did not succeed as much in learning Tableau as I hoped I would. I will take more time on my own to learn the program and others using more up to date tutorials.

I had a lot of expectations from this course as designing presentations is something that I usually like. But the lectures were somehow monotonous, the tests were confusing and it really lacked materials on Tableau. The most disappointing part of it, was that it had merely an introduction to Tableau. They kept explaining that designing a good data visualization is key but only taught the minimum on how to use the tool to do so.

I found this to be the most difficult class so far in the series. The instructor pushes art theory and speech class examples. We touch on Tableau, but moveat such a speed and are required to purchase a 'free trial' so we may even complete the guided practices. This entire course needs a facelift and shoul either completely deep dive into Tableau or scrap it all together.

I don't find this course to be aligned to the level of the rest of the courses of the certification. Apart from a couple of insights about how to structure a presentation, the rest is an endless repetition of the same stuff over and over for "4 weeks" of program. The technical part on tableau is insufficient and can be outvalued by any 10-minutes youtube video

I hoped to learn more about data visualization with Tableau. Instead the course was more about making a presentation and presenting it, which wasn't as helpful and interesting to me as all the other courses so far. It got quite boring towards the end but I'm looking forward to learn more about Tableau since it seems to be a very interesting tool.

I would rate this a 1 but I did learn a lot about using tableau. The quizzes are so difficult because the teacher is teaching the concept of things and the quizzes are super wordy and hard to determine the correct answers. I found myself having to retake the quizzes multiple times. It was completely frustrating.

This really didn't go over Tableau as much as i was anticipating. One exercise needed the desktop version that is not available for Chromebooks. For that we should have been provided access to the virtual desktop like for the SQL and Excel exercises.

Not enough hard skills being taught in this course. Of the Google Analytics certificate, this has by far been the most useless course. It would've been better if there were a lot more hands on prompts and homework for Tableau

Very theoretical. I still don't know how to use Tableau, except for a couple of very, very basic options. This won't help me to create visualizations in a real business environment.

The course teach the very basic of the art of visualisation. Tableau was walked through at a very beginning step. The slides of the teacher is boring and quite theoretic

I don't know why but it is so hard to concentrate on this course. More words to describe knowledge, less content related practice. I learn a little from this course.

Not satisfied with Tableau training. Module only covers basic 4-5 commands. Large portion of time given for presentation related theory discussion.

This whole course can be contained in a module. The same set of instructions is repeated again and again, which makes this while course tiring.

The quizzes might be very subjective - especially to people who are already experienced with art, design and presentation.

Very very very repetitive. The Tableau hands-on part was tiny. I feel like this course could have been better structured.

As usual, these courses are great as study guides so I know what to search for to enhance my learning elsewhere.
