Course provides a great overview of SAS and I especially love the handouts given at end of each week. The handouts provide a summary of all the content you have learnt during that week which is really handy. I began with no SAS experience and after I took the course, I could actually start coding a bit and understand basic syntax. I feel a lot more confident in engaging in coding :) I feel that the course could have provided an in-more depth exploration of different concepts and ideas behind the code we were doing - sometimes I could write the code and complete activities but I wasn't sure the purpose behind it so I brute forced the code to work haha. Also activities could have used more interleaving, e.g., have a practice activity that requires you to use all knowledge and skills gained from all weeks rather than test them individually a week at a time. At the end of it, I wasn't sure how confident I would be using the coding skills as I learnt each skill in isolation from each other (e.g., you learn how to prepare data in week 4 but only focus on exporting data in week 6 so there's little holistic learning).

The course provides very strong foundations regarding the SAS software and everything is clearly and carefully explained. The practices, activities and demos are very useful. There's one thing I strongly suggest: to have intertopic exercises, that is, exercises where students can put into practice everything they have learn from the course. Specified and targeted exercises are good, but it would provide a better learning experience to mixed all the topics learnt together and use them all together.

In the beginning we were given an option of what software to download, SAS University or SAS OnDemand. Midway to the course, I realized it wasn't really an option but the later software was preferred. With the exception of this bump, the course was very well taught and provided great information for a beginner like myself. The instructor was great and responded to my concerns immediately. I did learn a lot and would recommend it to anyone willing to give it a try.

Na prova da sessão 5 eu fiquei presa por erros das questões, a questão da macro variável foi dada como errada, mas pelo que o curso ensina esta correto "&Year Sales" e achei mais difícil que as demais provas das outras sessões. No geral o curso é bom, mas poderia ter uma versão em postuguês, pois algumas traduções atrapalham o entendimento.
