Overall, this is a good introductory course. I think it is very good for people that are starting with Excel or statistics, and business analysis.

However, I removed one star considering my personal experience. At times I feel it slow, maybe I made the wrong decision, because I already have some background and I was looking to refresh it and have more practical knowledge. I don't find it very challenging, but will complete the specialization for the certificate and to see the remaining 2 courses in it.

overall good experience but quiz of week 2 was planned terribly many students faced problem because of rounding error and question suggested to use goalseek or solver but neither of them were taught in this course nor in other course of this specialization and please fix rounding error problems

This was a really interesting course. Some of the video lectures were longer than usual however, the content and the way it was taught kept it interesting. I'd definitely recommend this course to friends.

It's great/ but sometimes I find it a little confusing when so many new concepts come to me. Better take notes while you are having this course^-^

Good explanations in videos, however sometimes there are to many repititions. As in previous courses, explanations after quizzes are missing.

A good overview of Z and T tests. Would have liked to see ANOVA or the F statistic as well to refresh myself on those statistics.

useful course. It can add some more details and differentiation between T.INV and T.INV.TWO functions used in excel.

I won't be recommending this course if you don't have an MS Excel subscription because you will be needing some premium MS Excel tools to understand and cover-up assessments (which MS Excel free version doesn't have). The instructor is good and the videos are informative but the slides in the video are not enough for notes. Make sure you make your own notes. Good luck :)

Week 3 and 4 are simpler; but week 1 and 2 took a lot of external references to understand.

Question and Answers are not properly structured and it really increases the doubt for the candidate. Really not satisfied with the final assignments where in some cases proper explanation is not given.

Could improve on explanations. Most of the times the questions are too ambiguous to understand and the only feedback when failure is go watch the videos again
