T​his whole course can be contained in a module. The same set of instructions is repeated again and again, which makes this while course tiring.

The quizzes might be very subjective - especially to people who are already experienced with art, design and presentation.

As usual, these courses are great as study guides so I know what to search for to enhance my learning elsewhere.

this course must be updated with more visuals content and few reading materials.

C​onfusing tests. Asks questions that are vague and misleading or simply wrong.

The quiz questions check your English skills rather than analytics skills.

Lab should be use pratical and easy to use more

The lecture videos are overwhelming.

I'm giving 1 star to retaliate for having such an annoying certification process. Expect to randomly need to "verifiy id" by confirming your name after random courses in the certificate. Want to verify my id before I start, fine. Want to verify at the very end before giving me any of my certifications, fine. Though when I have already confirmed my id, received multiple class certifications for this program, than you want to make me sit here with my thumb in my ass when I put on my todo list [ ] complete class [ ] add certificate to portfolio. Here is a tip: if you want an id verification system to give me my cert, make it a process instead of a random interrupt me and block me from accessing what I pay for until one of your humans verifies that oh shit, his name hasn't changed, why do we need to verify his name for the 6th class cert but not the 5th. Using logic to create your systems can result in logic people not going insane as they are restricted from using what they pay for.

This course was very poor. The videos spent almost all of the time talking about specific examples and almost no time teaching actual skills. The fluff about presenting is not exactly what people sign up for when they pay for a data analysis certificate. This entire course needs to be revamped to include more time about using the data vis software. The parts about presentations skills and using slide show software should be optional. Also, the quizes are way too picky. There are bad questions with no good answers. There are bad questions that only accept one answer but offer synonyms as choices. It's a good thing this wasn't the first course in the program, because I definitely would have quit without even completing this course, let alone the rest of the program.

Extremely disappointing course. There's too much talking and too little content. There's hardly anything practical to do in this. The ending assignment is completely based on presentation instead of data visualization. Hard to believe that Google can produce such a low quality course.

I cannot complete the course to get the certificate because there is bug in the daily quiz

course is simple but questions are too tough, not right for such as basic course.

Too much material. The final quiz was really too long.

E​veryone has been excellent and I respect the methods Google is using regarding how people learn best. This course on visualization in particular has been superb,  as well as the examples of good and confusijng ways of conveying information. As Connor said, you can have all the insights in the world but if you can't articulate them, it's a waste of everyone's time. Your analysis can be brilliant but it's only smart if it can be crystallized into sensible language that will resonate instantly with your audience. Thanks Kevin and company. It's changed my mindset as to how to artfully sythesize data into insights. It's one of those things that looks easier than it is and reinforces the need to let the overriding question being asked permeate every visual explanation.  I think of a good analyst now as a sort of C3P0 (nerd alert) that can speak all languages but know how to properly adjust complex information into clear bits of insight. Great job!

This was the best course I have completed (so far) as part of the Google Data Analytics Certificate but definitely the most rewarding. I was of the belief that I could present well to an audience until I took this course. It has given me so much in terms of technique and planning presentations that I was inspired to spend time enhancing my own ones after learning the methods in this course. I also passed with my lowest score of any course (so far) which just goes to show how much I have learned and still have to learn in this area going forward. Learning how to communicate findings and insights effectively has been the most compelling part of the certification and I am looking forward to putting these techniques into practice in the future. Thank you Kevin and the Google team.

I absolutely love the diversity in the presenters for each of these courses in the program. The presenters were very knowledgeable but were excellent in breaking down the information in a beginner-friendly manner. There was so much content, but possible to learn and understand. I really loved the interactive lessons that gave the learner the plenty opportunity to practice the new content within each lesson. I really enjoyed this program that helped me to learn what I needed to learn without feeling overwhelmed. It was also extremely helpful that the design of the new information was always presented in a manner that real-world applications.

The part related to Tableau was sufficient I feel and I look forward to play around in the platform myself.

I wished I had this course when I first started my career. Presentations are a big part of I think anyone s job and especially in marketing and especially when trying to convince others to adopt certain solutions and strategies. It looks like it s made for juniors at first and it actually is but even after 13 years of work there were concepts here, no brainer ones, that I was not practising..even when I was interviewing for a new job they would have been so useful. A good presentation will take you a long way in life I feel.

Excellent course! Extensive discussion of many concepts about sharing data visualizations, and lots of details given. Extensive readings and links to external resources, most of which are modern and updated. I liked a lot that a big part of the course was about giving proper presentations, with helpful tips on how to use your slides effectively, and also more physical things like anxiety management.

I also liked the big focus on Tableau and spreadsheet visualizations. The instructor was very good, calm and with deep understanding of the material. The best course so far in the specialization.

Hello Reviews. I am very happy to enroll for this profession certificate program. It is great learning experience. It is really worth learning with Coursera. In This Course I learnt New Concepts about Tableau Software, Data Visualization, Design Thinking, Data Driven Storytelling, Creative Visualization, Histogram, User Centric Design, Interactive Design, Colour Tool, Stakeholder Engagement, Business Communication, Public Speaking and So On. Thank You Coursera, Google, Their Team and Mentor of this Course for creating learning opportunities for millions of students.

The instructor was amazing, he taught everything in a very calm and well organized way. He was probably the only person who could teach this course because he was not only teaching us through his words but also through his actions. He practiced what he preached in his presentations. You should take this course even if you know how to make presentations and have had some level of experience with them because there's always going to be something you lack or maybe have missed out on and this course teachers you that.

This course is a great introduction to tableau, and it helps you developa really important skillset of a professional, not only a data analyst, which is presentations, and how to talk with stakeholders. I have recommended this course to some colleagues who have already graduated from their respective degrees, because I firmly believe that it will help them organize their ideas, and plan their presentations, aswell as to be prepared for any question that their audience could make.

Kevin in my favourite lecturer of this course so far. His course is informative, interesting, practical and inspiring. Not only did I learned very practical skills and tips about presentaion but also very philosophical high level thinking about what is the purpose behind the tactics. Also the good/bad practice of sideshow& presentation videos gave me a whole new perspactive to view my own presentation experiences and discoverd a huge space of improvement.

this is the best i have taken so far.its super packed. After this learning , i will practice and share my analysis via visualization like a pro . God bless the google team for this wonderful course , not only this particular one alone but taking their time to build the whole learning curriculum for someone like me and others out their. If am opportune in future ,i would be happy working for ALMIGHTY GOOGLE as a data analyst so i can learn from the best

This course was well done, as were those prior. Kevin provided very clear direction and lectures with careful and effective articulation. The information was quickly and easily retainable. Though I had studied through pruior Coursera visualization certifications, and I spent some years through career and Masters academia creating and giving presentations, I gained multiple takeaways with the report representation techniques provided in this course.
