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.

I recently took the course Share Data Through the Art of Visualization and I could not be happier with my experience. The instructor was knowledgeable and clear in his explanations and provided plenty of helpful resources throughout the course. The course content was comprehensive and allowed me to get a good understanding of how to effectively use data visualization to effectively communicate data. I particularly liked the interactive activities and case studies which gave me the opportunity to practice my skills and get real life examples of how to use data visualization. All in all, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of data visualization.

The course is well presented and well explained by the instructor, the instructor has explained the concepts from the scratch and has provided a well good foundation for presentation and visualization skills. But, I feel the course focused more on soft skills and general management skills like stakeholder management rather than focusing on Tableau. A lot of technical skills could have been added along with sample project submission and peer group grading since Tableau being a visualization software that may require more practice. But besides that, the course was decent overall.

The content of presentation skills and theoretical aspects is great, the examples in the videos and readings are also great. The illustrative videos and reading are throurogh and well-organized. However, I was exited to take this course in the first place for the purpose of learning Tableau up to an intermediate level like I did with SQL at the previous courses. I was really disappointed to find the related Tableau content is inadequate and discontinuous. Now I have to explore and study external course material for the sake of leaning Tableau all over again.

This course was very interesting to follow, Kevin shows and teaches a variety of practical skills in it. His expertise as a presentation giver is indiscussed. Indeed he is a living example of how the presentation should be stuctured and performed. However, I still found it difficult to follow some parts of the course regarding the storytelling process, probably due to the fact that English is neither my native, nor my first language. I would also have enjoyed spending more time learning Tableau and its features. Many thanks, guys, you did a great job here.

Too much theory about how to make a good presentation. It would be great if the course covers practical cases on how to visualize certain data into a specific type of visualization, and why...

Excercises are also mostly about theory and more soft skills.

Covering theory and soft skills are great. But it may be better if it's in a separate course. While for this course, I expected more about practical how-to on how to visualize data using different type of chart, color, etc.

I liked the content of the course, more focused on methods, tips and recomendations rather than tool using. While many may try the course for knowledge on using tableau, for example, I thinks the using of tools is easilly found on the internet, youtube videos and free material. On the other hands, tips and shared experiences tend to bring more value, in my opinion. The downside is: the instructor seemed a to robotic and not that excited during the classes.

I learned a lot more about presentations. There was probably not enough actual Tableau work however, it seems pretty easy to develop vizzes when you understand your data. As others mentioned, one of the tests was confusing in regards to which shape tool to use. Overall, this class was the most challenging for me due to developing the visuals when I haven't gone through the whole analysis process on my own. The instructor was very pleasant to listen to.

This was a great class. For improving some learner understanding, it would be helpful to see the syntax displayed in videos to strengthen understanding. Some of the tests were challenging because I had not been able to review the code for understanding of the statement.

I am super glad I took this class and I can see that the more I practice, the more I am understanding some of the common errors in my code.

I loved the topic. But I felt that some of this could have been "tighter" - some of the concepts seemed repetitive and disjointed especially the parts about Tableau and the screens not being current. I ran into a lot of problems trying to deal with the screen and the updated Tableau. But overall, I did learn and I felt it was an effective course with the range of talent explaining this topic.

The course is good and could have been very good/ excellent if Tableau was explained in more details. I mean more chapters/ sub-module with it. May be more course materials. I understand it is not Tableau course per se BUT honestly was expecting more of Tableau. Kevin, Director of Analytics was very good in explaining things and tips on presentations was very useful, for sure.

He course is little bit slow you can watch it on 1.5 x . All the little detail that is important while sharing of your data like types of visualization , you should use catchy viz so that viewer understand that Within of the 5 sec and what are the small things you should focus on while sharing like normal conversation how you should react to the question on you analysis

"If you did an analysis but no one saw it, did you really do an analysis?". I found this course to be one of the better ones in the Data Analytics certificate because it focused on one of the most important aspects of the career: presentations, and convincing stakeholders to follow your results. However, I wish there was more focus on how to actually use Tableau.

The course was fantastic! I appreciated it. On the other hand, concepts in weeks 3 and 4 could be much clear and straight to the point. The tests were relying only on memorizing definitions or trying to use some business jargon or cliché to confuse the student, especially those whose english is not their native language. I didn't enjoy that part of the course.

The content was great and the learning logs were helpful. My issues were more with the intruction production video value. The audio quality was lower then the previous intructors and the section regarding tableu could have used some breakway slides giving definitions to the featues that were being demoed, and used during the Tableu portion of the course.

The course is great in general with lots of reading materials. I was hoping that there could be more hands-on examples on tableau. So far the content covered was really basic. However, the presentation skills and tips segment were really useful in helping me in build confidence and presenting my data in an engaging and effective way.

Good light introduction to Tableau and presenting. I would have liked a *bit* more of the Tableau to get some more practice with it, and it would be extra nice if there were some sort of extended student version we could use for more experience, but I got value out of the bits that we got to do with it.

A little less on the presentation aspects and more on the technical side would have been appreciated. Learning Tableau like the back of my hand would be very useful. I can appreciate the way to break down presentations, but I feel that should be more of a trial and error process than a learned process.

I super love the courses and the way of teaching but the volume seems lower than the previous courses. Even though I max out the volume it is not as loud as the others. I tend to keep the volume at a certain level so I don't feel sleepy finishing up the videos and doing the assignments

While the content in this course was useful, I would have liked to have been shown more of Tableau. This really wasn't as big a part of this course as I thought it would be. Instead the good folks at Google found new and creative ways to run 'How to give a presentation' into the ground.

I was very angry when I could not reset my deadlines. Also, I ran into some problems while taking these challenges. There was not enough time and with the quizzes, submitting answers was a problem. There were times that another answer was submitted other than the one I gave.

This was a good course though a lot of error came up during the labs with Tableau making obstacles arise frequently during the labs. I would also give more examples of good presentations through a multitude of formats since not all of them come in presentation formats.

The tutorials on Tableau were excellent and even some of the presentation skills lessons were useful. However, the way that the course categorized the data story and then posed questions about it was confusing and often led to missteps on quizzes/course challenges.

i love this course, but I feel I only learned basic skills on Tableau while this course spends a good chunk of time talking about how to do presentation and communication. I definitely need to take another more advanced Tableau course to learn more in-depth skills.

Tips about how to make compeling visualizations were on point and really helpful. I just wish we were taught a little bit more about Tableau. While it is an introductory course, I feel like a little more content regarding said application could have been made
