About the Course

Leveraging the visualizations you created in the previous course, Visual Analytics with Tableau, you will create dashboards that help you identify the story within your data, and you will discover how to use Storypoints to create a powerful story to leave a lasting impression with your audience. You will balance the goals of your stakeholders with the needs of your end-users, and be able to structure and organize your story for maximum impact. Throughout the course you will apply more advanced functions within Tableau, such as hierarchies, actions and parameters to guide user interactions. For your final project, you will create a compelling narrative to be delivered in a meeting, as a static report, or in an interactive display online....

This course completely changed the way I look at data visualization and story telling with data. The skill set that I developed can easily be applied to real life and improve my value as an analysts.

Really tangible and useful. I have been able to take what I've learned in this specialization so far to create dashboards at work. I'm really pleased with how much I've learned in such a short time!

There were some good modules in this course and the assignments were helpful in applying the principles. The videos were not as polished as those in the previous courses. It gave the feel of the course a bit of "quick to market" feel, particularly given that it was a week late in getting started.

Overall though, I would recommend it.

I found the course underwhelming. If you want to learn Tableau functionality, I would suggest taking one of the courses on Udemy. If you want to learn about data visualization/storytelling in general, this is an okay course.

Week 1 & 2 not terribly useful; week 3 (in depth look at actions within dashboards) & 4 (significant content relating to building a story) are what I expected the class/series to be.

No es lo que esperaba. Mucha lectura y poco video con casos prácticos y dinámicos para desarrollar el análisis.

I had an assignment that was graded incorrectly. I was docked points for no reason, and that's not fair.

It would be better with some post editing of the video. don't have patience for the redundant talk...

Course content and assignments are not coherent. Assignment instruction does not match with rubrics providers. Presenters are not engaging.

Not enough working with Tableau, to much focus on the storytelling and not enough focus on the technical aspects of what Tableau can do.

No.I am very disappointed with the content not being better.I have learned much more from watching YouTube videos than from this course.Your test questions have too many gotcha questions.Which program is most like Tableau? PowerPoint, Excel, Word, or R.It seems to me that it is Excel.But it's not.When you grade you tell us that the answer is wrong but don't provide the correct answer.How would I ever find the answer to that question by searching the transcripts of all the course material?Plus, it's not a question that has one answer.It depends on your viewpoint.Very disappointed with having to answer these stupid questions.Why not focus on asking us meaningful questions that demonstrate our understanding of the course material.You provide a lot a other material which in many cases is quite helpful.What we don't know is whether you are asking questions that came from outside the course material or not.The fact that we have to grade others' submissions is not something that I regard as necessary.It looks like we're doing your job!That's not the way I want to learn, if you call that learning.I don't want to have my submissions graded by someone who may know less than I do.This approach does not work for me.You also have a lot of clean up to do with your course material.The downloaded Superstore dataset does not match the dataset being used in the course material.Plus, it looks like your material is several years old.Tableau, while a popular BI tool, it is fraught with a clunky interface when building dashboard and storyboards.The instructor did not do a good job explaining this very well.I spent many, many hours with YouTube videos learning how to use Tableau to create dashboards.Did you know that Tableau does not offer the ability to select more than one object at a time when working in a dashboard.Having to create and recreate templates each time is frustrating and unnecessary, but that's the way it is.It would have been helpful to add material on how to create templates so that we don't have to spend an inordinate amount of time formattingdashboards to get it just right.It certainly would be nice to have something like a PowerPoint Template, a Word Template to keep us from spending so much time on format.Someone making $100 / hour is shouldn't have to spend time formatting and getting it just right. The waste of time is astounding!Your presentations leave a lot to be desired!So, my bottom line is this:This course was pretty much a big waste for me and included an enormous amount of frustration, dealing with the stupid questions, the lack of clear guidance on building dashboards, and having to grade other's submissions and having mine graded by someone who probably isn't qualified.I definitely will never take another Coursea course, nor will i ever recommend anyone take any of your courses.A very dissatisfiedcustomer!!!

nothing much has been covered technically and there are so many concepts to be covered. i have subscribed this course , but unfortunately did not get the time to complete in time and after 6 months, when i gone through the course, nothing is there for learners about tableau. and moreover, its been stated that no refund.
