Excellent Topics

Too theoretical

Grazie mille!!

There's some great information that you take away from this class but one of the instructors has a tendency to assume that you intuitively understand everythinghe's doing. Very frustrating when he's inserting code and diving in to actions that you would have never thought of doing, with zero explanation of how he knew to do it, or why he's decided to do it. It's one of those situations where you wish you could raise your hand and say, "Back up please!"

Also the final peer-reviewed assignment is confusing. Are you supposed to measure sales specifically when profit makes more sense from a business standpoint? I feel like I may have graded people unfairly after the fact when I realized that I was in the minority for using profit. (Why would you eliminate products that are creating profit and keeping products that are losing you money?!?)

I hope those folks had an avenue to get a second evaluation.

This is where things got serious with mode advanced modules being introduced. I felt the instructors did an OK job but were not engaging enough. The way they broke down the complex topics could have been done better, they did not have a way to engage the leaerner. The delivery was boring and at himes haphazard. If Coursera can re-do these modules with new instructors that would be great, especially for beginners like me.

Great course; only limited by the requirement for peers to review the assigned visualization to complete the course. Although I turned my assignment in well-ahead of the due date/time, I had to transfer to the following class because I could not get the required peer reviews (2) prior to the course closing, despite multiple requests in the discussion forum for assistance.

Good content on Gestalt and other factors that impact how a visualization is received; however, the instructors didn't take the time to teach HOW they were getting certain results, which seems odd for a Tableau course. I wish they had broken down how they were arriving at different visual effects instead of whipping through and solely concentrating on the theories.

The course content and delivery is okay. The peer review system needs improvement - learners can share their submission links with friends and get biased reviews. Also, when someone submits a bad review they hardly leave any constructive feedback at all. There should be an option to request additional reviews against a review that the learner feels is unfair.

Would like more practical application of lessons in Tableau (vs almost entirely principles/theory), particularly with the guest instructor, who is very knowledgeable but only lectures. I got bored listening to lecture after lecture without doing anything or course directed application of what is taught.

Good course, but would have preferred clearer step-by-step instruction on Tableau. Honestly, that was the weakest part. The instructor did not explain where he was clicking, moved around quickly, like a Tableau expert. I had to look it up online and in my personal "Practical Tableau" book.

I'm not from a sales background. It might be just me, but i had to learn what is profit ratio, trends and whether my calculations were actually done correctly and in the right context. Having a couple of scenarios where it can be applicable to real life work would be better.

Nice overview of design best practices and some more basic usage of Tableau. However, my problem with the courses in this specialization is that the material is quickly becoming repetitive. Instead of the courses building on each other, they repeat prior material.

A good course if you're looking at design principles as they apply to any visualization, data specific or otherwise. There is, however, minimal practical applications within Tableau itself. This could easily fit into a graphic design or Excel specialization.

Although it is a part of the tableau specialisation, the course focus is more on design principles rather than anything to do with Tableau. Definitely interesting, but might be better to rename the course so learners know what they are signing up for!

Course is great but peer review is horrible. Clearly a professional is needed to review the work in the end. My marks were reduced because peer reviewers couldn't understand how to make visualization effective and show data without any bias.

The course is very theoretical and provides great articles and for great discussion. I was hoping for more interaction, and I'd also like more video content with fewer introductions. The music gets very annoying.
