This was a lot of fun, challenging, and very practical. I was able to start implementing the new skills I learned at work after each learning module. Can't wait to take the advanced course! Thank you!

The course material and assessments were just right and very useful. The course is well structured and the instructors explain things so neatly that there are no doubts left after watching the videos.

It got complex as expected, but the mode and method of tutoring in the videos were very far from being the best. I had to augment by watching youtube videos. And Dr Prashan I am sure is a great tutor with vast knowledge of Excel, in my opinion just not the best fit to teach the complex parts. And I am sure I am not speaking for myself alone

Seems like a slightly lazier job from the team compared to the first 2 courses. Assignments could be better worded, mistakes could be eliminated, and key little concepts have been missed out, for example: telling that a macro recording should be started with the same worksheet open as where we intend to put the macro button.

I feel the exam is really poor, and if you have one answer wrong, the next one will be wrong. Please have us start fresh each question even if concept is built up, the answers sould not be. We may make one simple mistake early on and it grows and follows us. Your earlier courses were much better.

Overall the course is very good and the presentations are well done. I have learned some very essential skills. However, it seems to be getting outdated and is frustrating for Mac users. Most importantly, there is NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE COURSE MONITORS, which is a pathetic (2 stars off for that).

Intermediate II course is very interesting and useful who are using excel in daily basis. But when it comes to assignment , it very difficult to understand the questions. I tried multiple times to complete the assignments. It will be easy if there is clear clarity in all q

I really liked the first two courses of the specialization. I feel that this one is a lot more challenging, partly because the instructors skim over the concepts iin videos and then expect you to master them by the time of the final exam. It can be a bit frustrating.

The information was valuable generally, but more information would help with options and problems that are expected of students without any video introduction. The videos do not seem to completely cover the material that students are expected to have learned.

I wish more there were more guided practice sessions. The practice challenges and weekly final exams are challenging, there are things that were not covered in the videos. Thankfully, the student community works together to provide solutions.

to understand many formulas (PV,FV,NPT etc) a pre-requisite is having knowledge on financial terms. It should have been informed at the start of the course so that learners will acquaint themselves with the terms before starting the course...

Though the instructors are good at delivering lectures but still some points were not clear. The quizzes or practice challenges are harder than what is shown in the videos. Quizzes and assignments need to be revised.

Very well explained and done! This time it was trickier, but it was presented in a well organized, step by step manner for anyone to understand slowly. Enjoyed it and learnt a great deal!.. Thank you!

I learned a lot from this course. However, there's a big difference between the level of difficulty of the examples shown in the training videos and the assessments. This is extremely frustrating.

I like this Specialization but I don't like how I would really get stuck if some good samaritan didn't record a step-by-step walkthrough of the challenges and assignments and put it on YouTube

i think the videos were good but i did not find them to be very interesting cause it felt very bland. other than that i guess i learnt some new things which i will practice later to perfect.

The instructor's voice is not clear and. explanation is done in the worst possible manner, that makes things more complicated. This course should do some work for the instructed videos

This part is not that good. The practice videos are not that helpful. They should have elaborated more but they not. Also the final assignment questions are not phrased properly.

This course is harder to follow and the explanation about Macros are not that in-depth and I'm still having a hard time understanding the Relative References in macros

Its a nice course. level of difficulty is little high. I know I need to work more on my Excel skill set, Course content needs to improve in some places.

There needs to be a better explanation of the material. Additionally, those using Excel for MAC have a more difficult time finishing the course.

Felt like the final assessment needs content improvement but learned a lot of great tools and skills to advance myself in my career search.

Those questions are very rigid. Besides, there is a problem with one question about the VLOOKUP of first name in the final assignment.

The course is good but in a lot of places, the options in excel for Mac are different which the course doesn't really cover.

It would be more practical if more example and explanation will be provided, as the assignments are quite difficult.
