very helpful even if some of the lectures seemed a bit more like nice extra information versus essential knowledge
One of the best course to start BI
Very good delivery. However, i wish there could be a review of the final quiz on BI Essentials. I tend to disagree with the answer on what the next step is after gathering, extraction and consolidation of data. I think the correct answer should be data warehousing but I was marked wrong. Kindly explain that. Thank you
This course in Business Intelligence gave a detailed and thorough introduction to the BI landscape. It covered all the relevant terminology one will need working in this field; it utilized specific business scenarios for each application and used aides such as videos of actual BI experts explaining how these tools and methodologies are used in real life industries. The course was informative and challenging, and kept me on track with targeted deadlines. I also really benefited from the practice quizzes provided, prior to taking the graded quiz. I will definitely use Coursera again in the future as the course certificates will help to validate my knowledge and skills, thereby making me more marketable and attractive to companies.
This quiz was well-structured and covered a good mix of conceptual and practical questions relevant to Business Intelligence and Data Analytics. The scenarios were realistic and helped reinforce how BI tools and processes apply in real-world settings. It challenged my understanding while also strengthening key concepts like data modeling, visualization, and predictive analytics. Great learning experience!
