This course needed to go into detail much much more, for example, it should included how to connect to databases, how to use native query, how to append data files from folders, how to write M code in more detail, and much more the course is pretty much weak and I don't think it reached even the intermediate level shame on Microsoft it doesn't prepare me will for the PL-300 exam.

Video lessons have no interactivity for the student, no associated practise files. The practical exercises are limited, very rushed, brief, sketchy and expect student to actually learn by studying the Additional Resources sections. Lots of errors and confusing to follow in the Reading sections.

The integration between the course content and the assignments is terrible. The videos and the readings should be more comprehensive and less vague to complete the assignments.

quizzes are too long, made artificially difficult due to some poorly written questions... too much theory and very little practice... expected much more from a course from such a prestigious company...

Sorry, but the course could have been 10-times shorter with more active learning path. The information is duplicated many times, the "strong, powerful and effective" tools are just being praised again and again, the screenshots are duplicating the video etc etc. Probably the course is designed for beginners in computer literacy but obviously not for students or professionals aiming to learn new BI tools.

Very clear cut concepts about ETL process and most essential part is the exercises with quizzes which enhance the knowledge and skills to become a data analyst

Half questions in graded sections often involve topics not covered and/or unnecessary trick questions involving specific semantics of similar words.

The course content is helpful in guiding through the basics of Power BI. However, it often lacks practical application and context. Many topics present features as efficiency improvements without demonstrating their real-world impact. For instance, some techniques are showcased using small Excel files without discussing their application in larger datasets or complex scenarios. Access to Power BI Services is required for the course, which is limited to a 30-day free trial as a personal user. This restriction hinders the ability to fully explore and practice the material beyond the trial period. Graded assignments and quizzes are particularly problematic: * Questions frequently contain errors or typos, forcing learners to choose the "least wrong" answer rather than the correct one. * Many questions are ambiguous, making it difficult to determine what is being asked. * The quizzes often test memory of minor, subjective details mentioned in passing, rather than assessing practical knowledge and understanding of the course material.

I didn't feel the course provided meaningful application of the material covered. It also had a lot of sales pitches in it for Microsoft Power BI. I felt like the script for the course was written by Harold Hill. Lots of talk about how great the product is without actually showing us how to use it or how it would be applicable in a real world scenario.

This course, and in fact this whole specialization, feels like one big advertisement for Power BI. Further, I reckon this course could really be about just half the length and still get all the info taught, as it just repeats the same thing constantly and talks about "how great is Power BI."

This program must improve a lot, too many errors in the files, it does not allow you to do some exercises. The worst thing is that I read the reviews, which don't improve the course. I definitely wouldn't recommend it
