Learner Reviews & Feedback for Information Visualization: Programming with D3.js by New York University

The best D3 course on the web right now. The course is about D3 V5. It's really necessary to have some programming skills. Also, the course uses Javascript ES6.

Great course, even for those who want to audit! d3 can be a very overwhelming to get started with, however, Cristian does a great job breaking down many parts of the library. He then weaves them together again through practice and the assignments. I definitely feel more confident working with d3.

The only negative is there were no files to work on while following along with the practice lectures. I ended up having to reverse engineer the practice exercises and data. From what I read in the discussion boards, such files may be coming along, soon.

Well-paced and informative. Fun assignments too. It was really well thought out course.

The example practice are very helpful after each section of syntax/log explanation. As well as the notes in part of the codes for assignments/tasks helped to understand variables and whole logic a lot too. Only for people not familiar to Javascript would find difficulties in the very beginning to understand why some given codes write in that way (i.g. the OR logic operator in data.reduce function) it did explain afterwards in week3/4. Generally I'll still recommend this course for getting start with D3.js

While I had no trouble with the instructor's accent, his pronunciation for many english words is bordering on ridiculous! It was bad enough, that it distracted me from following the lecture. Furthermore, there were some glaring typo's in the home work assignments. It looks like someone (probably the instructor) typed these up in a rush and *nobody* else took a second look to ensure if things were correct.

I am glad that I did not pay for this class!

The instructor has horrible diction and poor grammar. It I cannot listen to him for hours adding extra syllables to words or leaving consonants out of words.

Common examples..

Pronounces 'HTML' as 'HML'.

Uses phrases like: "This is how it should look like'.

Diction is muted / garbled in general. Like his mouth is full of marbles.

Excellent course. While I didn't do any of the exams, I learned a ton about data visualization and I am able to directly apply this knowledge at my job. Also helped me a lot for a university project I am doing right now. It's much easier to absorb the information from the video lectures in this course than to read a bunch of random blog posts on the internet about the topic (speaking from experience here :-).

Great course for learning the basics of interactive visualisation in d3. It even covers the basics of HTML/CSS and JS to get started, so I'd recommend it to even those who aren't too familiar with coding.

Course content is excellent but the discussion forum activity is pretty low so be prepared to troubleshoot a bit elsewhere in case you get stuck with any of the coding assignments.

I cannot recommend this course enough. I came in knowing programming with python and R but zero experience with Javascript or web development in general. The course was incredibly well taught by the instructor, and the examples/coding exercises extremely varied and useful. I will definitely be doing the advanced course. Thank you!

Key thing is that learner does not need to have any prior knowledge. this course itself teaches us from javascript and deep knowledge is shared. Course is also strict regarding exams. If someone learns seriously he will definitely get good knowledge from this course. Will surely recommend to others as well.

I enjoy the lectures. The professor has a good speaking and teaching style which keeps me interested. Lots of concrete math examples which make it easier to understand. Very good slides which are well formulated and easy to understand

A very comprehensive intro to d3.js. I started with little knowledge but finished the course with so much learned about D3 visualization. The lectures are well planned and delivered. Thanks for the great course. Highly recommended!

Very good course on the D3.js library. Examples and a project deployed throughout the course. Master your visualization of data thanks to this library. Thank you for this course

Nice introduction to d3. It would be nice to give audits access to the code used in the lectures although it is not hard to reproduce the code by yourself.

It's a really good course for people who would like to learn Information Visualization or d3.js. It covers all the basics needed to go ahead.

Very well done course. Well structured and complete! Surely a good starting point for anyone interested in data visualization programming.

Great intro to the D3.js library, but some prior knowledge on data pre-processing may be needed to leverage the topics covered.

Excellent course. Excellent content. Some corrections on the example codes are necessary. The instructor is very good.

Wanted to learn d3.js and found this course, it's very nice !! Much more fun and clear than reading the documents :)

Fantastic introduction by an excellent tutor! Tough, challenging, exhilarating all at the same time.

Excellent course, it gives you all the basics and best practices for handling this library.

Wonderful course! It gives you basic knowledge about D3.js. Highly recommend!

Very good intro for people with some mild programming experience.

Great teacher, to the point content, very practical.

Great practice and ensuring explanation of details.
