I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, as well as all the courses in the Specialization. The instructors do an excellent job of breaking down each subject in an easy to understand logical progression.

Great course! However, does not get 5 stars since somethings that is done on videos are not possible to do on macbook, and an alternative way for macbook users is not presented in the course

Tough course. Instructors did a great job. Difficult to combine all elements at once as it's quite easy to forget on account of not using many of the highly advanced functions and formulae.

This course was far more difficult than the former ones, yet adventurous. The course would have been somewhat easy if practice challenges would have been included for some last weeks.

It would be really great if the quiz questions were more directly related to the videos. Apart from that, the course is amazing, well structured and a must for any excel user!

Some assessments were hard to solve only without Content provided in practice-videos. But Overall, it was a great Course with very understandable Videos and good Speed.

This last course was not as complete as the first three, but I don`t regret taking it, it was useful.

The teachers (who are the same for the four courses) are great

Very good course. being able to recall all the different functions learned and having the logic to apply them in different ways are both keys to being successful.

Dear All,

all the videos are tests very very well prepared. Unfortunately often parts of the knowledge needed for the final exams very not included in the course.

I think you could improve a little bit the course. There are some practice challenges missing, some solutions are not right, and some videos can be not so clear

Herramientas muy útiles, el producto mejoraría muchísimo si en los exámenes las funciones financieras y algunos problemas complejos estuvieran mejor explicados.

This particular course in this entire specialization was uneven in regards to explanation especially in Week 5. It could've been more comprehensive.

Very good to learn the most required excel info without diving into VBA and code. Intermediate users should have this as their next step for sure!

This course is a lot harder than the previous courses, so I felt that it needed more easy examples so that we can understand better.

I think that the course was well structured, easy to grasp and allowed to effectively put in practice the concepts learnt each week.
