Really well done! You kept me interested and motivated, and that's not easy to do!

I enjoyed the balance of instructional videos and hands-on exercises, and I'm excited to try the Intermediate now.

The structure of this course is fantastic. Whatever you learn is reinforced by the quizzes, the exercises as well as the reading material provided. I arrived ignorant but in a matter of days, I got a hang of Excel. My deepest gratitude to the instructors.

Muy útil si estás partiendo o hay alguna intuición, si ya sabes y estás repasando o buscando completar los 4 como es mi caso no lo mires en menos, de todas formas hay detalles que pueden ser útiles de agregar a tu set de herramientas elementales de Excel.

Its a good course! I just wish the test pages weren't so "click sensitive" in the multiple choice areas, as it seems answers can change on you without you realizing it if you click somewhere else on the sheet. That part was annoying and very frustrating.

This course is simply awesome. If you want to learn something worthwhile, then this course is for you. It has no answers anywhere to copy, so we have to work hard on it and practice the material. The Coursera and Macquarie University deserve many thanks.

Ce cours est extrêmement bien expliqué. J'aime l'aspect permettant à l'apprenant de toujours pratiquer ce qu'il a appris antérieurement et également il est facile pour lui de retenir les raccourcis et les terminologies Excel. C'est un excellent travail.

The course is well-planned. They really make sure that you retain the information they discussed in the videos. I really learned a lot about Excel in here. Everything tackled was explained clearly. I must say this is one of the best courses in Coursera.

I've been using MS Excel for more than 5 years now at work and I figured out that I still have a lot of things to learn! This course opened my eyes to a more technical perspective for MS Excel. I can say that I am more equipped to handle my current job.

Recomiendo mucho este curso debido a que esta muy bien diseñado. Si bien el curso nos muestra los aspectos básicos de Excel, existen aspectos que rara vez se usan y son de mucha utilidad. Los videos son cortos y precisos, con una explicación muy amena.

I learnt a lot from this course. I had Spread Sheet Modelling in my first trimester of MBA, still there were many new features taught in course that I didn't come across earlier. End of Module exercises serve their purpose in "Practice makes Permanent".
