The questions and answers are absurd. They aim to prepare someone for the job market with responses like: 'Narrative aids visualization' or 'Visualization aids narrative.' It's absurd as a course, module, and exams. It's just my opinion, but what a terrible course.

The instructor is not as organized as her peers, the slides shift very quickly. Less following to her intended concepts. Also, the course repeats some earlier concepts which makes it lengthy with less value for some content.

Although the course has good visual content, it lacks cohesion within the videos and from one video to another. It also has conflicting teachings concerning the previous course “Data Analysis and Visualization with Power BI”. Also, this course reiterates multiple times (more than necessary) topics from previous courses that do not have a relation to the content being presented.

This is more like a long series of promotional\commercial videos rather than practical tutorial. Instructed by different persons, the course lacks integrity and they go back and forth between different topics and repeat a lot of things multiple times. Some parts are tooo much basic and some parts are too advanced. A much shorter course in Udemy was much more helpful for me.

"Creative Designing in Power BI" is a valuable course for individuals aspiring to build a career in data analysis using Microsoft Power BI. The comprehensive content, hands-on learning approach, and alignment with certification objectives make it a worthwhile investment of time for anyone looking to enhance their Power BI skills.

This course doesn't include any material/file to be downloaded and practice while you are watching the videos or reading a lot of information. The forum had lot of posts asking for support and none addressed these concerns. Very disappointing being paying for bad courses.
