This review is entirely based on accessibility of the course for people with hearing problem. The sound of the of the tutor is very low and unlike other courses for this one have to use 100% volume to hear it properly. Typical example of accessibility issue. Otherwise the course content and the skill of the tutor are excellent unfortunately the sound let it down hence I only give 3 stars.

Worst part of the course so far. The tools that were introduced (tableau) required much more time to introduce properly and the quizzes were pretty much just focused on one learning specific terms from the videos without really thinking about the ideas. The section on presentations was useful but far too much time was dedicated to it and not enough to other things.

This course offered a lot of insight into the use of Tableau and some good techniques for presenting material to audiences. I don't think that - despite the instructor's enthusiasm for David Mcandless; that the instructor taught from his own experiences enough.

More could be improved upon or try to find a different instructor whose teaching method isn't so biased.

I dont like the pie chart especially the 3d pie charts. Actually pie chart is not the best practice chart. To use this the course should provide the cautions of using this. Unfortunately, the pie chart was used a lot. What I love about this course is there is the link to Information is beautiful which is every useful for exploring the visualization community

Course Material was good. This particular Course Presenter Pitch was not so interesting. There are no ups and downs. But still it is worth completing. In this same course I noticed Connor (another presenter) in 3 videos. His way of talking was so good. He was able to grasp the attention and easy to follow him. Google should use Connor in many videos.

This one started out engaging but I got sooooo bored at the end. The final evaluation had more questions about the order of your presentation slides and cute little vocab words about audience engagement than it did about using Tableau. I was really hoping to learn more about using Tableau and I don't feel like that was the point of this one at all.

I agree that presenting findings and results is a key part. In this part, my feeling is that this particular course is too long for the purpose. For example, to know details of an specific piece of software like Tableau (too much), is not so important as being focused on the steps and thinks to keep in mind for the presentation (adequate).

While I liked the presenters of this course, I thougt it was way too theoretical.

I was especially disppointed by how little tableau was trained in this class, When comparing to the other classes, where loads of time and effort went into teaching sheets and SQL, this was barely a basic introduction.

My suggestion: Less theory, more Tableau!

I really liked the instructor. It's clear that he has experience with presenting. I though that the course itself was a bit short and found myself wanting more practice with tableau. We've had so much practice with Excel and SQL, but I didn't think there was enough with Tableau. It kind of makes me nervous for the Capstone project.

Just finished this course.

My thoughts: I guess all the background knowledge about visualization and presentation are important, but I expected more on the tool itself, i.e. Tableau. Having said that though, I am sure there are a lot of resources online one can find to practise the skill, I found a nice course on udemy. Thanks.

2.5 Stars.

There was so little content compared to other modules that it was extra disappointing that the videos did not align with updates to Tableau. There could have been so many opportunites for case studies and examples of outstanding graphical data....the presenter was engaging but it was not my favorite module.

Out of all the Google courses, this one was the weakest. I intentionally just blazed through the last two weeks because the content was just lacking. Learning about Tableau was interesting but it feels like all we walked about was "Take a deep breath before you present!".

Really wish we got more involved with Tableau.

This was definitely not my favorite course. It was virtually impossible to complete the lessons using Tableau. I watched the videos, and tried to learn as much as I could... but the interface just would not work without a subscription. As a result, I dont feel adequately prepared to use that platform.

In my opinion this course should focus more on Tableau rather than spending half the course talking about how to give presentations in Power Point. Tableau is a much more needed skill for a data analyst and this course barely scrateched the surface when it comes to what can be done with that software

This particular course in the GDA program is the least impressive in my opinion. Considering the fact that Tableau was the main tool it was not properly discussed. it was all theory and virtually no practical. Google will have to incorporate a standalone course for Tableau in this certification.

Good course in everything except the part of Tableau, I didn't understand it well and it was a small part of the course. I expected that it will be the whole part of the course. But somehow it was a good course and I'm looking for complete the whole program.. Thanks Google, Thanks Coursera.

I was expecting this level to be more dynamic and full of hands on different scenarios from gathering data and then importing it to tablueau I would've loved to see what are the differences between tableau paid and public. Maybe more emphasyse more on tableau itself and not presentations

Definately the worst of the courses in this specialization so far. Lots of hollow phrases, little content and questions about theories that are very little explained or have, to me, little substance.

Still moving forward to get the certificate for the specialization.

This section becomes very definition oriented. The quizzes focus too much on small details during the presentations. Not everything worked within Tableau. My personal learning needs are more about learning Tableau and I felt this was pretty good but not great.

I have troubled in week 3 and I found that this course is difficult to take an exam because (In my poinion) It was an art rather than science, sometime I understand the context for just seeing a picture, but I can't derive it into an correct answer.

Knowledge for someone who has never had office work. Also a lot of subjective stuff is presented as the terminal truth. Insted doing endless blah blah pep talks, the course could concentrate more on how effectively deal with tableu or excel.

The content in this course on presentations was very interesting, but there really was little discussion of tableau in it. I thought the teacher was good, and the tests were fair, but I do not feel like I learned much tableau at all.

Not really about skills, more of theoretical

concepts. Very long and too much talking that I found it not value adding. Could have been way shorter or more rich. Many of the practices

aren’t

valid with the free tableau version

It is more of a behavioral teaching more than a technical education. Only technical part is how to use Tableau and make visualizations in it. Rest everything was about presentation skills which I think can not be standardised.

This course is good overall for beginners, but i think they are too basic since tablaeu skills taught are very little. Although presentation skills are useful, but it is not in depth enough and just a sole theory
