Part 5 was impossible for non-engineers. Maybe I shouldn't have tried it but I attempted to go to the honors.

En lugar de colocar problemas con mucha matematica deberia de profundizar mas en VBA

The course is challenging for those who have no scientific maths knowledge

Too much emphasis in mathematical issues and too shallow in VBA techniques

Three stars, 1 star for tests/assignements 5 stars for content 5+1/2

Too many examples on chemical engineering. It should more broad

Missing some help when we blocked on the assignement

The excerises should be more practical.

Week 5 is so difficult to understand

The learning itself is great. The marking scheme, however, leads much to be desired.

The grading is based entirely upon writing a piece of code which is fine. However, one can write a piece of code that does the job perfectly and the grader may still not accept that answer, leaving one perplexed.

For example, at one point I copied the instructions into a set of cells far off from where the program was interacting with the data for easy reference. It took half a day to realize that the Grader would not accept the written code until I erased them.

Unfortunately, as one can't proceed without success and with no teacher to interact with one can simply find their course ENDED through no fault of their own.

Grader files don't work properly so you spend time trying to fix macros when they're already correct. (Files have to be saved to your hard drive, not to anything that OneDrive is syncing or the Grader won't work). Course is not particularly engaging, so no reason to continue forward with likelihood that I'll waste even more time trying to troubleshoot this terrible setup.

Excellent material and learning objectives. -3 stars on clear instructions and support for assignment completion. Hot Tip: Grading file and starter file must be run from your local drive not a cloud linked drive. Plus other issues.

I quit taking the course after week 2 because it had very few business applications and was far too math and engineering focused, and there was a lot of assumed knowledge.

too easy, how to unsubscribe this lessson?

Good experience , learned a lot

Terrible for beginners. Stopped after completing most of Week 1.

I might've missed it, but I didn't think you needed to have a programming background to take this course (if this is true, then none of what I'm about to say applies). Although I love the teacher's passion and dedication, unfortunately he doesn't teach in a way to builds upon fundamentals. He "shows" rather than "teach." It's more like he's showing different things that it can do, rather than build fundamentals and explain the process he's showing. This isn't a value judgement about the instructor, just my experience with the way the course is taught.

The first few sections of Week 1 were fine. Introducing little bits of fundamentals. So far so good, although small moments where I felt a bit of confusion with the extremely elaborate and detailed examples he gave (for example, arguments/parameters in a sub.....how about we get used to even typing out sub a bit more, before we start feeding it parameters?). But by around the 6th video, and definitely the 8th video (Declaration/scope), it goes off the rails. I really don't see how a beginner can follow that; and he goes extremely fast, doesn't explain what he's clicking; just flies through it like he's giving a refresher.

This course was supposed to be aimed at VBA beginners, with little prior knowledge of excel functions and VBA. However, starting even at week 1, the basics of VBA were not properly explained and the instructer flew thru the overly complicated explinations without proper explinations of the "how" or "why" he was performing the actions.

Furthermore, by week 4 the assessments tested areas that were not covered in the course and the final assessment in week 4 used excel functions and inputs that were totally new.

Ultimately, I learned little in this course about how VBA can be applied in any fashion of my day to day work. It's such a shame that this is the only VBA course available on Coursera. VBA is an excellent tool with may appications if taught properly. This course should be removed until it can be improved upon for a wider scope of use.

If it were possible, I would have left zero stars.

This course was supposed to be aimed at VBA beginners, with little prior knowledge of excel functions and VBA. The course started well but by week 4 the assessments tested areas that were not covered in the course and the final assessment in week 4 used excel functions and inputs that were totally new and not even discussed or explained. This led me to spend excessive time reading literature and asking for support from colleagues purely to pass the assessment.

I had hoped that this course would be enjoyable and that i would follow up with the next courses to build my knowledge.....i wont be taking any more VBA courses and will opt to read books and get help - the timeline was to tight as I work long hours and have a young family.

if i coud have left zero stars i would have.

4 stars for the course in the overall as it is well structured but full of mathematics and engineering staff that may e very useful to those who are into science and more 1 Stars because of there is no way to get assistance by the instructor or coursera,despite the fact my code staff for assignment 4 and 6 works pretty fine, the grader file reports the contrary. This is really frustrating you make different kinds of codes working out and then unsussefully tested by the grader file. To my point of view is missing a direct connection between the instructor and learners. Anyhow,despite i really like the course, I must give 1 star because of lack off consideration to those have subscribed a coursera Plus!!!!

This is the worst course I've taken on Coursera.

The instructor doesn't want to help, answer questions or clarify anything. You can't contact him, and he won't answer anything put to him in the discussion forum. His style of delivery is awful too. Talks fast, but constantly says the wrong thing, and then corrects himself. Painful listening.

Instructions given lack clarity. There is clear inconsistency in assignments, and all in all I just found it a shambles.

I have unerolled, and will find a better course to learn about VBA.

Good instructor and easy-to-understand explanations, but it is impossible to progress through the course because the "Grader" files do not work appropriately, and you can't move on if you don't submit the assignments. I confirmed multiple times that my code was working properly, but the Grader file still didn't work. I wasn't receiving any responses in the assignment discussion, and don't know if my "report issue" actually went to anyone or not.

There are COUNT comments about the grading files NOT working on Macs (even with office 365), and no one is dealing with it. If the materials are not compatible with Macs, there should be info on the course introduction page. Waiting for students to find out themselves after enrolment is just unacceptable.

If you are going to do this course, you absolutely cannot use a Mac for it. This is not made clear in the beginning and wastes a lot of time. There is also no communication between the instructor and the class, and the last bit of it was from 3 years ago. If I have questions, they will never be answered.

This could have been a supercourse... however the grading system deters me to such a degree (it uses an 'automated' grader whereby every step such as naming should be 100%) that I will not be taking the exams.

I've taken a lot of Coursera Courses - and this is the worst. I would expect a stronger core build up of foundational elements. This jumps right in with a lot of assumptions and terms.
