Excellent at teaching how to tell a story through digital media and Tableau. The principles provided were concise and accurate, the examples to the point and clear.

The Tableau technical side is more of an intermediate level. I believe that supplemental material could have been provided to cover the basics in short but enlightening bits, (i.e. ehow style), and let the professor explain the strategic use of the tool for business and the business analysis side, which she can provide more value within the time allotted.

It was a great course. Although Week 1 and Week 4 are not too much about Tableau, Week 2 and Week 3 are really helpful. They covered many things in Tableau and the examples are interesting and easy to follow. The exercises and final project are a little difficult. I spent lots of time to work on those. This is a good introductory course on Tableau, but after this, I think I need to take some more courses or watch more videos to get to a working level skill with Tableau.

i liked the course very much helped me a lot to learn tableau but the only problem i faced was i could not use the tableau software key which was provided in the course material and which insisted to use the web page to access the code and could not do that ,i tried a lot to get but ended up wit the web page error ,i m not sure if i did the right way or not

otherwise the course is amazing to learn tableau its fun and interesting

Very steep learning curve switching from the videos and lectures to the final assignment. But enjoyed the challenge. Relevant links to learn specific topics on the tool would have been helpful. Interesting data sets to work with (Salary & Dognition) and challenging problem statement. If the intention is to learn Tableau as a tool then I would not recommend this course. Part of my expectation was this also, hence only 4 stars.

Great course. Very informative. I am a marine biologist, but we also struggle with the same type of problems in properly presenting our data in effective and engaging ways. This course is very helpful in giving ideas on how to do this better. I also introduced me to new software in Tableau which is pretty impressive. But it is yet another program to try and learn which may be a deterrent to some.

Useful course, that provides you the fundamentals, especially if you have never used , Tableau software. Also useful presentation tips are included in the course , relevant at any job field. Highly recommended.!!I have also completed the first course of this specialization and found it a little weak- course did not have a lively pace- but this one is totally different, and much more fun!

Really liked the course. Very well designed and carried away. The only thing I wasn't too happy was the final project as the data was not easy to understand. As a beginner when we have to focus more on Tableau related features, I ended up spending more time understanding the data which didn't really help me. Otherwise, it was a good course. Surely, it put me on a fast track for Tableau.

This is my favourite course of the specialisation so far. However, I would have loved more focus on Tableau. Only 2 of 5 weeks of this course is dedicated to teaching Tableau functions - which I found a little disappointing. I understand that the final assignment is deliberately meant to be open-ended but I would have appreciated more guidance and direction.

One of the best experiences I had while learning about business analytics. I am from the non-data background. Earlier it was very very difficult for me to understand how data can be used to reach solid conclusions. Thanks to this course, I now know how I can deal with data and make impressive visualization out of it.

This course was quite good. I learned a lot about Tableau and business presentations in general. Nevertheless, the instructor talks a little too fast. Sound quality isn't the best either. I imagine that this specialisation and course would be 5/5 if there would be a new take on it in 2020. Thanks regardless.

Good brush on Tableau. Great that the course included a 6 mo license to Tableau Desktop!

However while more complex topics where touched, they were rushed also. An extra week or two at the more advanced stuff would've been beneficial. Some of the quizzes also were a bit silly and focusing on minor things.

The material is very interesting with well-made videos. Great course to get an introduction to Tableau.

The downside for me was that some videos were rushed with as they had too much content, and quizzes could be much better, I found the questions not really up-to-par with the course content.

Excellent class to learn to visualize data using Tableau, I feel a lot more confident about using Tableau and its features. The final exam project was excellent. On a constructive note-- I wish they had a couple more videos or Pdf guides to format a presentation.

Well done Instructors

Professor is engaging and I am happy there are so many video lectures, it is really nice and you feel you are genuinely progressing. Quizzes are very tough though and this course requires a lot of dedication and some frequent repeats of the videos to understand the material.

It could have been better if the course instructor could have spent more time on dashboards with more and more examples. But I'd say, she is the best course instructor for this particular domain in coursera. The course was way above my expectations.

The amount of time spent in the course for teaching soft skill on presentation style is, in my opinion, too much. The data visualization part is very well organized and presented, with enough examples and guidance towards the practical exercises.

This course is very interesting and insightful and I think it further confirms the fact that communication is key in reporting our findings to our audience or stakeholders. I am most grateful and many thanks to my instructors.

really great, but would appreciate if there are more data sets provided (best if with hints and guidance along the way) for students to practice with! However, the existing material is already great for a short course. thanks!

Good course. The instructor is never boring and taught well. However, some tiny details are missed out in the tableau tutorials that caused students' visualisations to be slightly different. Had to dig forums to find answer.

Absolutely a great course for those who want to explore data analytics through Tableau. If you are a complete novice like me, it will take a bit of getting used to but overall this course is an excellent starting point!

Great course, very comprehensive but in the other hand challenging to keep you engaged in learning and self discover about your "real" data samples.

I'll continue with the specialization, thanks Duke University.

Good course but 1 week of the tableau could have been taught . So the concept of tableau would become clear.

2nd,3rd week was about tableau + 1 more week of tableau could have been excellent

honestly, this course helps me to bind a valuable piece into my cv and helps me more about the data visualization on the tableau. I would recommend this course to my colleagues and friends

the course materials are good though in the final assignment you have to submit the project which is about dog cognitive behaviour analysis company so it will challenge or oxymoron to you
