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.

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

The course is very well designed and gives a lot of useful insights about creating and presenting data effectively. It also explains the nuances of engaging the audience, handling Q&As maturely and being mindful of any limitations of your analysis.

This has been the best course of this series so far. They use great examples and expand on them throughout. It was very useful information.

I had to dock a star because a couple of the hands-on portions related to Tableau didn't work at all.

Good overall course. Nice intro to Tableau and lots of details about presentation skills. I would have liked to dive more into Tableau in depth, such as how it can be paired with programming languages we learn in this course (SQL, R).

The content about making effective presentations are on-point and excellent. However, I feel more about Tableau should also be taught in this course. The Tableau course materials are very basic, and it's more of a "touch-and-go."

Great start for someone who is looking to enter into Data Visualization. It explains concepts of how to structure data, using tableau and Excel or spreadsheets. It explains different presentation skills and the McCandles Method.

This was probably the toughest course for me. All the concepts seem to be convuluted with each other. The last quizzes were challeging because changing one word in the questions or answers can completeing change the context.

This course was interesting and informative, but I wish there was more hands on Tableau experiences. I felt that the course contained a lot of repeated information rather than the hands-on experience I would have liked.

Amazing course! The lecturer was excellent and the course was really engaging and informative. I wish more time had been allocated to practcing on Tableau, and with various types of data. Otherwise, amazing course!

This is a very different course for data analyst. Others are mostly dealing with data cleaning or coding, but this one was more broad and difficult to get the point. But I learned many useful presentation tips.

Really great course! Does not only focus on the technical aspect of creating effective data visualizations, but also on the art of finding the appropriate viz to share and present your findings to an audience.

This course did give me a good understanding of what Tableau is and what it does. I did struggle a bit with some of the hands on, especially since majority of this was done on the web version of tableau.

Very complete course, awesome for building soft presentation skills.

The only one downside i found in this course is the fact that such an important data viz tool as Tableau is not really good explained.

The course was overall informative and helped dive into Tableau and the art of presenting data. One suggestion I would like to give is that the course can cover more of Tableau and not just the basics.
