I agree that presenting findings and results is a key part. In this part, my feeling is that this particular course is too long for the purpose. For example, to know details of an specific piece of software like Tableau (too much), is not so important as being focused on the steps and thinks to keep in mind for the presentation (adequate).

While I liked the presenters of this course, I thougt it was way too theoretical.

I was especially disppointed by how little tableau was trained in this class, When comparing to the other classes, where loads of time and effort went into teaching sheets and SQL, this was barely a basic introduction.

My suggestion: Less theory, more Tableau!

I really liked the instructor. It's clear that he has experience with presenting. I though that the course itself was a bit short and found myself wanting more practice with tableau. We've had so much practice with Excel and SQL, but I didn't think there was enough with Tableau. It kind of makes me nervous for the Capstone project.

Just finished this course.

My thoughts: I guess all the background knowledge about visualization and presentation are important, but I expected more on the tool itself, i.e. Tableau. Having said that though, I am sure there are a lot of resources online one can find to practise the skill, I found a nice course on udemy. Thanks.

2.5 Stars.

There was so little content compared to other modules that it was extra disappointing that the videos did not align with updates to Tableau. There could have been so many opportunites for case studies and examples of outstanding graphical data....the presenter was engaging but it was not my favorite module.

Out of all the Google courses, this one was the weakest. I intentionally just blazed through the last two weeks because the content was just lacking. Learning about Tableau was interesting but it feels like all we walked about was "Take a deep breath before you present!".

Really wish we got more involved with Tableau.

This was definitely not my favorite course. It was virtually impossible to complete the lessons using Tableau. I watched the videos, and tried to learn as much as I could... but the interface just would not work without a subscription. As a result, I dont feel adequately prepared to use that platform.

In my opinion this course should focus more on Tableau rather than spending half the course talking about how to give presentations in Power Point. Tableau is a much more needed skill for a data analyst and this course barely scrateched the surface when it comes to what can be done with that software

This particular course in the GDA program is the least impressive in my opinion. Considering the fact that Tableau was the main tool it was not properly discussed. it was all theory and virtually no practical. Google will have to incorporate a standalone course for Tableau in this certification.

Good course in everything except the part of Tableau, I didn't understand it well and it was a small part of the course. I expected that it will be the whole part of the course. But somehow it was a good course and I'm looking for complete the whole program.. Thanks Google, Thanks Coursera.

Definately the worst of the courses in this specialization so far. Lots of hollow phrases, little content and questions about theories that are very little explained or have, to me, little substance.

Still moving forward to get the certificate for the specialization.

This section becomes very definition oriented. The quizzes focus too much on small details during the presentations. Not everything worked within Tableau. My personal learning needs are more about learning Tableau and I felt this was pretty good but not great.

I have troubled in week 3 and I found that this course is difficult to take an exam because (In my poinion) It was an art rather than science, sometime I understand the context for just seeing a picture, but I can't derive it into an correct answer.

Knowledge for someone who has never had office work. Also a lot of subjective stuff is presented as the terminal truth. Insted doing endless blah blah pep talks, the course could concentrate more on how effectively deal with tableu or excel.

The content in this course on presentations was very interesting, but there really was little discussion of tableau in it. I thought the teacher was good, and the tests were fair, but I do not feel like I learned much tableau at all.

Not really about skills, more of theoretical

concepts. Very long and too much talking that I found it not value adding. Could have been way shorter or more rich. Many of the practices

aren’t

valid with the free tableau version

It is more of a behavioral teaching more than a technical education. Only technical part is how to use Tableau and make visualizations in it. Rest everything was about presentation skills which I think can not be standardised.

The practice assignments involving Tableau were difficult to follow, even with a google account. The portions where downloading and importing data wasn't clear and I spent a longer time troubleshooting on my own.

It was a good course, but there should have been more content for tableau. The presentation content was more than expected. Spreadsheet visualization could have been included in the course as well.

I gave 3 stars because this course is great for giving a guideline for preparing presentations. However, for learning Tableau, there is almost nothing other than some of very simple features.

This course should be 2 weeks. Not much emphasis on Tableau. More about presentation skills which some may find helpful. Would love to see this revamped and more focused on the technology.

I think it should be more hands on then only learning concepts. I do not feel like I was able to gether enough knowledge about Tableau. Although, I liked the tips and presentation examples

While the course is quite interesting, one of its main goals - learning how to use tableau - is quite underwhelming. Only a couple of exercises with the most basic features were presented.

It was nice that they introduced a new software, but they barely touched the surface. A deep dive into Tableau could've been a lot more useful than trivial information about presentations.

I wish the course was organized better. Something that should have been mentioned before an activity where explained after making you double back often, which was a bit frustrating.
