Doesn't get much in depth. You drag things on the canvas, or double click things - but you don't learn much of the theory of why you're choosing those types of charts, or why you're creating those analyses. It's more of a "do what I just did" demonstration course.

I had difficulties to access Cognos Analytics. I think the links provided in the course are not refreshed with the address being used now by IBM. I may be wrong but this is for now my diagnosis. But, in the veral the course was very useful for me.

Thank you so much

The course itself is good, however it's annoying that the final assignment is peer reviewed so if someone mistakenly gives you a wrong score you can't dispute it because there's no way to contact a Coursera representative and ask them to amend the grade.

Very informative, I think IBM cognos is pretty intensely complicated if you're completely new, I think It could have used much more indepth explanation especially for the final assignment. Hope to grow more comfortable with IBM cognos in the future.

"The Cognos hands on labs were frustrating because some of the steps didn't have screenshots as they asked you to do them and just assumed you knew where tools were for your first time using it. Sometimes it didn't work the way explained either."

It seems outdated, the course materials are not uploaded into a separate directory in the course materials or resources, making them often difficult to find. The Cognos demonstration was critically inadequate.

Content is outdated, and instructions are very vague and incorrect at times. I had issues completing the peer graded work, and had to find workarounds to be able to pass the course.

Wish that the course could spend more time teaching visualization tools that are more widely used in industry instead of Cognos. Not a lot of companies use Cognos.

i think we could have used a bit more exercise, information and practice with Cognos Analytics. It felt really short, also the trial should last minimum 60days.

The databases used in the hands-on labs are out of date and have poor formating, which makes it impossible for students to follow instructions.

Overall a good introduction to data visualization. I would have liked to have more training and practice on using pivot charts in excel.

The instructions given throughout the labs as well as the final assigments need to be made more clear. At times there were confusing.

I really love the skill am aquiring as it will help me to adavnce my career .Thanking Coursera team for this great opportunity

Includes incredibly irrelevant questions of type what did person X say in video Y. Does not actually test knowledge on the topic

Excel was ok, But Instruction on Cognos was very much inadequate. I feel like I learn't excel but not Cognos.

This course needs to be updated as it did not always align with the exact way that it is set up on cognos.

Last teacher's lecture (Kevin) was very bad and some answers dont't match with the Excel for web version

IBM Cognos is not a common dashboard making tool in the market!! Teach us Power BI or Tableau instead.

Cognos is somewhat broken for our purposes.

Unfortunately, the course requires several updates.

IBM Cognos is not used widely, PowerBI or Tableau would have been an appropirate choice.

Sound quality of videos was low and presentation was a bit jumbled

the qulaity of video and volume were low and unsatisfied.

Quite a bit tougher than I thought it was going to be.

Need to improvise in submission and uploading files.
