Great and easy to follow along. The final assignment works with a too simple and unrealistic data set. I would prefer the final assignment to be a bit more challenging and uses a real world data set.

Great course, even for those people that are using Excel every day, this course shows quite a few different ways to improve your abilities to present the data and best practices for cleaning dat.

I'm an experienced Excel user, but this course introduced me to some new tricks, such as the use of Flash Fill and the SUMIF function that will be helpful. If you're relatively new to Excel, you should find this course very satisfying.
A few things such as VLOOKUP are touched on too briefly. The pivot table segment is a good intro, but more detail is needed to explain WHY you might want to construct your table in a particular way. Complementary reference materials would be helpful.
The course is oriented toward data analysis in the business sector. Wish there was more consideration of Excel use in research contexts.
The lab activities allow you to try out the features covered in the course, and help familiarize you with concepts, but more depth would be needed to develop proficiency.
I'd love to see this course provide examples of how to document the "data cleaning and wrangling" steps in Excel. This seems like an important omission to address.
The assignments and grading process are straightforward and relatively easy to complete. It would be great to offer optional assignments for folks like me who are eager for more advanced exercises.

The course is broadly good. However, some of the differences between expected behaviors between some basic Excel functions like the age old File>Save or Save As and some of the newer MS 365 "rename" vs the need to download your work from the cloud in order to then upload it again for grading can be less than intuitive. This problem is compounded by the fact that such differences are characterized as minor in the course lectures. While that might be the case, the differences between the modern MS 365 functionality is deviating rapidly enough from those of older, local Office installation versions shown for lecture examples that the course appears to need an overhaul to keep things consistent. I did learn quite a bit, particularly in the area of pivot tables which I had thought to be more complex than they actually are.

An informative and practical course. I have enjoyed it. One big negative is the peer review as some people don't take the time to properly assess your work and you get marked down when you shouldn't. There are also a few flaws with the marking rubic examples which confuse people. I'd love the opportunity to discuss these with the course providers but I can't find any way of contacting them. If you come across the same problem, try resubmitting your work, it will be reviewed again by someone new and hopefully by someone who understands the marking scheme properly. It worked for me.
