Excellent insights into the world of excel and how complex functions can be used to simplify our data analysis tasks. All the assignments really made me work hard and were fun to complete.

The quizzes are so confusing that you will spend hours trying to figure out what you have to do.

The course itself (the videos, instruction, quizzes, and resources) were great. Highly recommend. I would have rated this five stars, except the final exam had a significant error in it such that the final exam could not be completed. Many students noticed this and posted about it in the discussion forum, but after months there were no responses and no assistance. It was an extremely frustrating and disappointing ending to an otherwise great course.

I made it to assessment 2, or 3 The way she "teaches" is not for me... I need Explanation WHY we're doing what we're doing... and that isn't represented in this course.. at least... it wasn't for me. #2 One of the assessment's they had just shown how to do 1 particular thing (I can't remember the exact question) but, it was basically like... They just showed us how to do concatenate, then in the assessment they show a formula with Concatenate and find added into it and I'm like... WHOA... we haven't even gone into that yet... then on THIS particular assessment.... you have Question 1. Cell B2 contains the text macquarie university (with one space). What is the result of the following formula? =FIND("university",B2) 1. Uni 2. 12 3. University 4. #Value The CORRECT Answer is 11 BUT... That's not even a choice!!! And the Second Question I had an issue with is this one.. in this assessment.. Question 4. Cell B2 contains a hyphen (-). What is the result of the following formula? =MID(B2,6,FIND("-",B2)) 1. #VALUE! 2. 555-u 3. 555 4. 555-unive So... It is for these reasons I am going to Exit this course and find another Excel Course that fits my needs. Thank You!

I tested the quizzes and assessments in this specialization as well, and even though it's a new course, the quizzes don't work because of versioning and integration problems. To complete the quiz or assessment, it is required to download an Excel spreadsheet, but unexpected characters appear even though I had success previously with their other courses prior to January 2023. I have the latest versions of all software. Very dissapointing, this was my go-to organization for great courses. All I can do is put on my LinkedIn that I viewed and attempted all the material and assessments and that the tests are broken.

Good information, but the assignments and final assessment had poor instructions and unclear answers. It seemed like AI generated rubbish without any real thought put into it. I completed the Excel Skills for Business specialization from Macquarie University and enjoyed it, but this course fell short of my expectations.

Terrible breakdown information given with test to close together. I HIGHLY recommend you take a pass on this course. Save your money and locate a different course to take to learn this information. If this information was spread farther out with more "why" to the "how" then this course would be great.

I could preview only the introductory part of the course. For all else you have to buy it. Really sneaky and borderline abusive. So absolutely no free content provided. It's okay, but it should have been said in advance so that I don't lose time again.

This is a very poor course design. The quizzes and tests are full of errors. I thought it was me but the discussion forums are full of reported issues not resolved.
The explanations of the topics are fine.
