Excellent course for a beginner to understand the fundamentals of ppt and what it has to offer, also as a great refresher to those that use PPT but may have forgotten all that it offers.

This is probably the worst course I have taken on Coursera. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was exceptionally boring and tedious. Too much of the content was geared toward knowing the name of a tab in the Ribbon even though Powerpoint only shows you the correct tabs for your context anyway. Too much emphasis was on how to add every effect to your presentation with no guidance for when you would want to use them or avoid them. This course wanted me to download a new file every few minutes even though I barely manipulated each one.

I wish this course were better, it shows good functions and tools that might be new for many of us, but at the same time the course feels more like a summary of functions and doesn't explain with detail all of them, also it would have been great if they had given advices about fonts or colors depending on the situation you need it, it is not the same a presentation to sell a product that one to present a thesis. I also have to mention that I presented problems while taking the course, the videos were not marked as watched once I finished them and I was unable to do any practice quiz. so I hope they improve the course.

You do not received honor recognition badge on your certificate after completion. Many students posted on the discussion forum and reported it to the instructor. No response is given if they even aware of the issue. Please look into this and fix.

Okay, I will try to rewrite the review in a shorter way and erase the line about preparing for exams. Here is a possible rewrite:

Review:

Microsoft 365 is a great tool for creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. If you want to learn how to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint effectively, you should take these courses offered by Coursera:

- Work Smarter with Microsoft Word: You will learn how to create professional-looking documents using Word's features. You will use formulas, functions, references, illustrations, and design templates to make your documents stand out.

- Work Smarter with Microsoft Excel: You will learn how to organize, analyze, present, and store data using Excel's features. You will use formulas, functions, tables, charts, and more to make your data meaningful. You will also use Analyze Data in Excel, a feature that helps you understand your data visually.

- Work Smarter with Microsoft PowerPoint: You will learn how to create and present basic and advanced presentations using PowerPoint's features. You will use formatting, multimedia, animations, collaboration tools, and more to make your presentations engaging. You will also use Designer in PowerPoint, a feature that helps you create beautiful slides with one click.

These courses are part of the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals Specialization offered by Coursera. This specialization teaches you the basics of Microsoft 365 quickly. The courses are online and include hands-on projects using Coursera Labs. You can enroll for free or apply for financial aid. You can also get a certificate when you finish.

These courses are easy, engaging, and informative. They will help you work smarter with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

I learned a lot in this course to make a presentation in a professional way. This is a summary of what I learned, and it means a lot.

I recommend this disc to anyone who is trying to learn to do a presentation, and to anyone who likes to make a PPT in a professional way. And this training course is completely free, and I think it is worth a lot to learn in any educational centre or otherwise. Thank you, Microsoft, and thank you for this wonderful and more than a wonderful training course.

I am so happy that I took this course. I used PowerPoint over 10 years ago and so much has changed. I liked the format this course was in and the ease of following along and retaining what I have learned. My organization produces many webinars and this course is exactly what I needed to be able to create professional and appealing presentations.

Honestly, Coursera is the best platform for learning new skills. However, I gained confidence after taking some specialization courses. In addition, I truly appreciate all the great instructors for amazing skill sharing. Hence, I am applying all the skills and knowledge in my practical day-to-day life which I have learned in Coursera.

Definitely a good way to get to know PowerPoint more. Even if you used it before, you will still learn tools you never knew existed.
