This course is worth a shot. You can learn a lot from this course. One of the most useful course in whole Coursera. This is one of the courses on which you can rely on which provides certification as well. A Lot to understand and a lot to gain from this course.

Excellent Course. The basics are covered very well. I would have liked to spend more time on the functions/formulas.

Some advance features are probably too advance for my use of excel but it is good to know they are there.

In general terms, the course has a vast amount of information for a fundamental level of knowledge therefore, I can say that it fully covers what a beginner in Excel needs to handle for a good performance. Nevertheless, the way of presenting the information MUST improve considerably since there is a lot of information to assimilate in every video, and the practices are insufficient to relate the instructions to the tasks to be carried out.

Also, I found the instructions in the quiz practice hard to follow and most of the time, I managed to finished them because I already knew what I was asked to do, but for someone learning for the first time, I could've been pain in the neck.

One more thing, since Week 2, I couldn't take the quiz practices because they never loaded. That needs to be fixed.

I am aware that this course works as a first contact and the participants must complement their knowledge and practices, but even so, it would be a positive point to work more on the pedagogical part in order to attract more people to take this series of courses.

It's a great intro to excel! I'm not super familiar with it and I was able to keep up, although there were spelling errors here and there that threw me off, I was able to figure most of it out on my own. I still plan to complete the honors assignment so there may be an opportunity for more practice through that, but I felt like this was a little too surface level for what I was looking for. I know general tips and functions of excel but not practical uses for them. It felt like a lot of learning things out of context so I am hopeful I can come up with ways of utilizing these concepts on my own.

It's a solid course introducing many functionalities of excel, but I wish there were more hands-on practical exercises or the practical assignments were a bit longer/comprehensive.

The course was 5 stars, however I did not get the honors certificate. I went to the forum of this course and it looks like it is something common.

the course is good but quite annoying that the efforts to complete the week 5 for the Honors certificate are not rewarded with the Honor badge.

I completed the optional assignment month ago, never received the Honors on my certificate, and reading the messages left from other users seems a common problem.

Instructors are boring, presentation skills are often looking into space and the exercises should be integrated into the video making them easier to navigate.

The course was great overall, and I learned a lot. This has increased my desire to learn more about Excel. I've used Excel in my former workplace and even helped others in management to learn how to do a task or use certain functions. Anyway, towards the end of the course working with external data, in a section for an exercise that called for using external data, the source had changed its location on their website. What does that mean, that means I and other were not able to complete that particular exercise as it was laid out. That being said, I did go to the particular site and navigated to the data source needed but needed to download and work with it from there. It was not available as a table of data on the web that could be linked to update. I tried other means to accomplish that, but just used the data I was able to download. That was not a big deal because I felt I was able to learn something about working with external data and apply a couple of aspects of the exercise anyway. That exercise needs to be reviewed and updated or modified to work correctly and match the exercise objective. Thank you for the opportunity to learn here. Ciao

The MS Excel course was an exceptional learning experience. The course was very well-organized and covered all the important topics needed to become proficient in using Excel. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided clear explanations throughout the course.

The course materials were excellent and the hands-on exercises provided ample opportunity to practice what was learned. I particularly appreciated the various tips and tricks provided to help increase efficiency and productivity while using Excel.

One of the things that made this course particularly enjoyable was the pacing. The instructor didn't rush through any concepts, but also didn't spend an excessive amount of time on any one topic. The course struck a perfect balance between depth and breadth of coverage.

Overall, I would highly recommend this MS Excel course to anyone looking to improve their skills with this powerful tool. Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience, this course will undoubtedly help you to become more confident and efficient in using Excel.

Me ha parecido un curso muy bien estructurado en el que se combinqa perfectamente la parte teórica con la parte práctica. Tiene el nivel adecuado como para proporcinarte mucha seguridad al trabajar con Excel, ya que empieza con partes que, podríamos considerar básicas, para terminar con un nivel muy por encima de otros cursos que he realizado. Por otra parte, los vídeos están muy bien elaborados y el contenido, como ya he mencionado, tanto teórico como práctico es extraordinario.

As I have mentioned a half a dozen times, the more advanced exercises cannot be completed using the free online or downloadable app versions of Excel. In addition, part of the difficulty came from using a Macbook. I went along as best I could but some of it was incredibly frustrating. I do wish I had a windows-based computer fully loaded with Office 365 for taking these classes, as I plan to continue on to Word and PowerPoint.

I use excel everyday in my job and this course focuses on the very basics. However, there are some elements of its more advance functions that I did not know, and it helped me to better use them. In short – Excellent to anyone that wants to start mastering excel or review the basics, and sometimes find some hidden functions you never knew.
