Here's a key piece of information; the grader functions do not work if they and the completed starter files are not located on your computer's hard drive, and even then some folder locations return a failed message. There is no error checking in the grader function so as a student you don't know if it's your code or the grader that's returning error.

Interesting course BUT You should grant a free access of the excel documents for those who just want to audit your courses. I lost hours replicating the tables for each video (as they are not accessible for those who can't take the paid exams)

There was zero instructor involvement. I am fine with paying for a course as long as it's at least partially interactive. Assign more instructors to courses to answer questions and assist students.

Section 5 is extremely long and should require more time. the assignments were difficult and unclear at moments. Did not know how to get help from professor.

Heavy on math, examples are from common daily VBA usage and solutions, but a good course nonetheless. Teacher explains in a clear way.

there are no material to apply with the instuctor and the course is hard, it should be simplified for the beginners

thanks

Je suis resté bloqué très longtemps sans pouvoir obtenir d'aide. J'ai du me débrouiller seul. Sinon j'aurais mis 5 étoiles

I cannot complete the assignment as I have a Mac--should have said not for Macs. Also, cannot convert to audit

Part 5 was impossible for non-engineers. Maybe I shouldn't have tried it but I attempted to go to the honors.

En lugar de colocar problemas con mucha matematica deberia de profundizar mas en VBA

The course is challenging for those who have no scientific maths knowledge

Too much emphasis in mathematical issues and too shallow in VBA techniques

Three stars, 1 star for tests/assignements 5 stars for content 5+1/2

Too many examples on chemical engineering. It should more broad

Missing some help when we blocked on the assignement

The excerises should be more practical.

Week 5 is so difficult to understand

The learning itself is great. The marking scheme, however, leads much to be desired.

The grading is based entirely upon writing a piece of code which is fine. However, one can write a piece of code that does the job perfectly and the grader may still not accept that answer, leaving one perplexed.

For example, at one point I copied the instructions into a set of cells far off from where the program was interacting with the data for easy reference. It took half a day to realize that the Grader would not accept the written code until I erased them.

Unfortunately, as one can't proceed without success and with no teacher to interact with one can simply find their course ENDED through no fault of their own.

Grader files don't work properly so you spend time trying to fix macros when they're already correct. (Files have to be saved to your hard drive, not to anything that OneDrive is syncing or the Grader won't work). Course is not particularly engaging, so no reason to continue forward with likelihood that I'll waste even more time trying to troubleshoot this terrible setup.

Excellent material and learning objectives. -3 stars on clear instructions and support for assignment completion. Hot Tip: Grading file and starter file must be run from your local drive not a cloud linked drive. Plus other issues.

I quit taking the course after week 2 because it had very few business applications and was far too math and engineering focused, and there was a lot of assumed knowledge.

too easy, how to unsubscribe this lessson?

Good experience , learned a lot

Terrible for beginners. Stopped after completing most of Week 1.

I might've missed it, but I didn't think you needed to have a programming background to take this course (if this is true, then none of what I'm about to say applies). Although I love the teacher's passion and dedication, unfortunately he doesn't teach in a way to builds upon fundamentals. He "shows" rather than "teach." It's more like he's showing different things that it can do, rather than build fundamentals and explain the process he's showing. This isn't a value judgement about the instructor, just my experience with the way the course is taught.

The first few sections of Week 1 were fine. Introducing little bits of fundamentals. So far so good, although small moments where I felt a bit of confusion with the extremely elaborate and detailed examples he gave (for example, arguments/parameters in a sub.....how about we get used to even typing out sub a bit more, before we start feeding it parameters?). But by around the 6th video, and definitely the 8th video (Declaration/scope), it goes off the rails. I really don't see how a beginner can follow that; and he goes extremely fast, doesn't explain what he's clicking; just flies through it like he's giving a refresher.

This course was supposed to be aimed at VBA beginners, with little prior knowledge of excel functions and VBA. However, starting even at week 1, the basics of VBA were not properly explained and the instructer flew thru the overly complicated explinations without proper explinations of the "how" or "why" he was performing the actions.

Furthermore, by week 4 the assessments tested areas that were not covered in the course and the final assessment in week 4 used excel functions and inputs that were totally new.

Ultimately, I learned little in this course about how VBA can be applied in any fashion of my day to day work. It's such a shame that this is the only VBA course available on Coursera. VBA is an excellent tool with may appications if taught properly. This course should be removed until it can be improved upon for a wider scope of use.

If it were possible, I would have left zero stars.
