A comprehensive course with various techniques of visualizations and presentation. It introduced me to the world of Tableau, and its possibilities to prepare interactive visualizations and dashboards.

This course taught me a lot about data visualisations, dashboarding and presenting to an audience in an extremely insightful way. I was well presented and well worth the time and effort I put into it.

The teacher wasted too much time talking about things which -- at the end of the day -- are not going to be relevant. Like, really, he spent a lot of time differentiating the "a ha moment "with another stage which I can't even remember because its just not relevant. I really wish he focused on teaching us how to use Tableau. It is embarrassing that I finished this course and still do not know the basics of Tableau.

I'm only rating this way because I can't rate the entire Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. I just wasted 6 months on this course with the promise I could get a job in data analysis. Well, I can crush data analysis! But my lack of background in math is proving to make me unhirable. I wish I'd known this before wasting time and money on this program. Now I'm 6 months behind training for another career.

The worst course so far, by far. Hard to follow with newer Tableau version, a lot of questions on the weekly challenges that are confusing or just werent explained in the course. I was actually expecting this course to be the most interesting of them all, cause of the Tableau, and creating graphs but I was bored and surprised how dry it was. Disappointment!

It was too hard to focus. Normally as a student when slides come up or are displayed it's signals that this is something you need to pay particularly attention to, here import information were all over the place. The quiz were too often based on some little detail that the lecturer spoke about, but there was nothing to draw your attention to it.

Extremely disappointing course. There's too much talking and too little content. There's hardly anything practical to do in this. The ending assignment is completely based on presentation instead of data visualization. Hard to believe that Google can produce such a low quality course.

Focus too much on the soft skills and not enough on what actually matters - how to use Tableau.

I recently completed the course "Share Data Through the Art of Visualization" as part of the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate, and I found it to be an exceptional learning experience. Here's my detailed review:

The course content was incredibly comprehensive, covering a wide range of data visualization techniques and tools. From basic concepts to advanced visualizations, it provided a thorough understanding of how to effectively represent data visually. The modules were well-structured, allowing for a progressive learning journey.

The instructor's expertise and teaching style were commendable. They presented the material with clarity and enthusiasm, making complex concepts easy to grasp. Real-life examples and case studies were used to demonstrate the practical application of data visualization techniques, which greatly enhanced the learning experience.

One aspect that stood out was the emphasis on hands-on learning. The course provided numerous opportunities to apply the concepts through interactive exercises and projects. These practical exercises not only solidified my understanding but also allowed me to develop my data visualization skills in a meaningful way.

The availability of additional resources, such as supplementary readings and discussion forums, was a valuable aspect of the course. It enabled me to delve deeper into specific topics and engage with fellow learners, creating a supportive learning community.

The only minor drawback I found was the occasional lack of visual examples in certain sections. While the course extensively covered the theoretical aspects of data visualization, a few more visual demonstrations could have further enriched the learning experience.

As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to learn or take courses. However, I have been trained on a vast dataset that includes diverse information and knowledge from various sources up until my last update in September 2021.

I have been designed to understand and generate human-like text based on patterns and information present in the data I was trained on. Some of the skills I can demonstrate include:

1. Answering questions: I can provide information and answer a wide range of questions on different topics.

2. Language translation: I can translate text from one language to another.

3. Text summarization: I can summarize long passages of text into shorter, more concise versions.

4. Text generation: I can generate human-like text based on given prompts or contexts.

5. Sentiment analysis: I can determine the sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) of a given text.

6. Language understanding: I can comprehend and interpret human language in context.

7. Basic arithmetic and math: I can perform simple mathematical calculations.

8. Knowledge recall: I can provide information on various subjects up until my last training cut-off in September 2021.

It's important to note that while I can provide useful information, I am not infallible, and my responses should be verified against reliable sources for critical or important decisions.

Everyone has been excellent and I respect the methods Google is using regarding how people learn best. This course on visualization in particular has been superb,  as well as the examples of good and confusijng ways of conveying information. As Connor said, you can have all the insights in the world but if you can't articulate them, it's a waste of everyone's time. Your analysis can be brilliant but it's only smart if it can be crystallized into sensible language that will resonate instantly with your audience. Thanks Kevin and company. It's changed my mindset as to how to artfully sythesize data into insights. It's one of those things that looks easier than it is and reinforces the need to let the overriding question being asked permeate every visual explanation.  I think of a good analyst now as a sort of C3P0 (nerd alert) that can speak all languages but know how to properly adjust complex information into clear bits of insight. Great job!

This was the best course I have completed (so far) as part of the Google Data Analytics Certificate but definitely the most rewarding. I was of the belief that I could present well to an audience until I took this course. It has given me so much in terms of technique and planning presentations that I was inspired to spend time enhancing my own ones after learning the methods in this course. I also passed with my lowest score of any course (so far) which just goes to show how much I have learned and still have to learn in this area going forward. Learning how to communicate findings and insights effectively has been the most compelling part of the certification and I am looking forward to putting these techniques into practice in the future. Thank you Kevin and the Google team.

I understand well in first two weeks of Module 1,2 and 3rd module little bit , but I am not able to understand presentation skills and Storytelling , I haven't got enough time to prepare so i choose to answer the questions without preparation that's the reason and i have to learn other courses also like Analyze Phase and R programming leads me to understand the topics clearly but , i want to learn and review this complete course again to understand the insights Clearly , I'm confused of understanding in English .Little Nervous to prepare for Data Visualization , and lacking of understanding

I want to learn again And review the videos and Reading resources

I absolutely love the diversity in the presenters for each of these courses in the program. The presenters were very knowledgeable but were excellent in breaking down the information in a beginner-friendly manner. There was so much content, but possible to learn and understand. I really loved the interactive lessons that gave the learner the plenty opportunity to practice the new content within each lesson. I really enjoyed this program that helped me to learn what I needed to learn without feeling overwhelmed. It was also extremely helpful that the design of the new information was always presented in a manner that real-world applications.

The part related to Tableau was sufficient I feel and I look forward to play around in the platform myself.

I wished I had this course when I first started my career. Presentations are a big part of I think anyone s job and especially in marketing and especially when trying to convince others to adopt certain solutions and strategies. It looks like it s made for juniors at first and it actually is but even after 13 years of work there were concepts here, no brainer ones, that I was not practising..even when I was interviewing for a new job they would have been so useful. A good presentation will take you a long way in life I feel.

My Heartfelt Gratitude to Mr.Kevin & other Tutors, the concepts Tutors Team's teaching proven to be expansive, elaborated, strategically useful in creating Data Visualizations & Presentations. I, Believe when putting these skills in to use it'd be exceedingly empowering with multiple concepts and frameworks and as well strategies.

Although, the Tableau tutorials were limited for reasons we learners has to explore it on our own self experiencing more about using the visualization tool, Tableau seems way Powerful, we are quite equipped with concepts, frameworks, best practices & everything useful.

Excellent course! Extensive discussion of many concepts about sharing data visualizations, and lots of details given. Extensive readings and links to external resources, most of which are modern and updated. I liked a lot that a big part of the course was about giving proper presentations, with helpful tips on how to use your slides effectively, and also more physical things like anxiety management.

I also liked the big focus on Tableau and spreadsheet visualizations. The instructor was very good, calm and with deep understanding of the material. The best course so far in the specialization.

Clean, clear, step-by-step (consistent) explanation. In a word, it was great. Thanks Dear Teacher Kevin and Of course Google and Coursera.

After the presentation tips described in this chapter, I thought about the past. At my ex-job, the presentations made to me and the presentations I made. Not a single presentation came out of those past presentations where all the presentation tips I learned in this chapter were used. I wish I had attended a course like this a long time ago.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to these lecture series (1-8).

This is a very lovely course. It may sound like an underwhelming review but this is how I feel throughout this course. I honestly did not feel any pressure to finish this course right away, even though I finished it in just 5 days. The instructor seems to be calm while explaining in the video lectures. I also appreciate the demo on a good presentation. I would also like to point out that the course challenge was indeed challenging. I literally felt like I was making the decision to create a good presentation. Thank you for your hard work!
