The big knock of the cert program is the absence of real peer discussion and the hollow semblance of providing something like that at the very beginning. When a learner encounters natural difficulties, we have only our individual means to figure them out. That indicates to me a very plausible reason why an entry-level cert program only has a 30% new career rate.

I recently completed the free Coursera course on Data Analytics for Excel Basics, and it was incredibly informative and practical. The instructors were engaging, and the hands-on exercises really reinforced my learning. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in data analytics using Excel.

la trducción falla en varios momentos por lo que no permite la mejor comprensión, sobretodo en las formulas y en cuanto a los examenes al tener conocimiento del idioma pude superar las dificultades pero una persona con un nivel bajo en ingles puede verse frustrada

In the part of the course where excel functions are explained, there is no explanation as to what should this functions include. In Hands-on Labs there are only instructions what to write but no explanation as to what these things stand for.

Videos very informative, alot of informatiion in each section. Maybe it can be broken down a little more to be more easily understood, the hands on excersises were a bit confusing and jumbled for me. Tried my best with the Finals.

El curso es muy básico, no lleva una secuencia en los ejercicios como para irlo mejorando o analizando conforme avanza la clase y se agregan funciones de analisis; además considero que hace falta muchos mas ejercicios practicos

Course is overall okay and I learnedo some useful skills. I didn't like automatic voiceover and I was under impression that whole narration is quite chaotic. There are better courses on Coursera I am attending right now.

In the final assignment it is confusing that one is supposed to download a new file for part 2 - I did all the analysis on the resulting clean file from part 1 and because of this I did not get a full score....

Good class if you have never used MS Excel before. It should be called "Excel Basics". Period. Nothing is "Data Analysis" specific. This should be a prerequisite for the certification, not a mandatory class.

AI review should be an option for all courses in Coursera. Peer reviewing is not trustworthy, and often done incorrectly, which is unfair to the person submitting their work, not to mention frustrating.

It's good, covers all excel basics; but it does get a little fast and explanations become a little shallow around Pivot Tables. For an absolutely new excel beginner, the course might seem a bit daunting

#1.Needs more thorough explanations on some of the complicated formulas such as the use of quotations, etc.

#2. The instructions in the Graded Assignment 1 were not clear.

Some thigs are not described in a good way , the pivot tables description was so disturbing , I took some others course who described the pivot table in better ways.

The course was very informative, but does need more succinct language to better understand the steps. I do have a concern on which version of Excel is needed.

I think it wasn't very engaging, and it focused only on the basics. There were not actual assignments with questions throughout each part of the course.

A very light and limited content. Index and Match, error checking, etc.. are not covered. But the instructor has a very good teaching skills

Course was OK but labs weren't very useful. The instructions were too literal with little to none explanations of the purpose of each step.

It would have been much better if all the worksheets in the videos were made available so students could follow along with the video

Too few practice exercises and the ones that the course have, are very disapointing. Just checking the boxes wont make anyone learn

its a good initial course, i thougth it would be dipper than it were, but is very useful to consolidate basic concept

Los trabajos deberían tener una revision de los profesores, alguien evaluo mal mi trabajo y lo tuve que reenviar.

It owuld be helpful if all filaes shown in the videos are available in the lesson so we can follow along.

Need to work on video presentation quality, most of the videos are really blurry and hard to follow.

Must add some more of excel features and practical tests make students learn more and practice more.
