It is good for beginners to know basics and get acquainted with the steps of making a dashboard. The instructor spoke clearly. One issue, the workplace sometimes had lagging issues.

The instructions were easy to understand and work alongside. However, only 8 quiz questions are not enough to evaluate the learning.
