This course really changed my perspective in how to create visualization not just using Tableau but in every visualization application. I'm very happy I could take it and learned from it.

Great coverage of chart types and creating them. Step by step instruction with the "why" element helped me understand how to pursue the chart and understand why I would want to use it.

This course may as well have been called Design Principles of Visualizations, as doesnt really include almost any practical teaching about tableau. Dont get me wrong, is nice to understand this principles, but it's a bit dense and quite boring, would greatly improved if doing it a bit longer but with much much more application into tableau

No Feedback from quizes, it doesn't even show you what you have answered, makes it very tedious to study the material. I like the questions during the video, that is an addition that ought to be used more often, because it forces you to remember and learn faster.

Some concepts were explained poorly (e.g. Gestalt principles, pre-attentive attributes). Peer review was frustrating - easy to fail the week 4 assignment due to the 5-point rating scale for some parts, which invites reviewers to deduct points arbitrarily.

The instructor doesn't come across as knowledgable or as an expert in this field, repeating sound bites and elementary ideas without being able to go beyond the introductory phrases. And this was a recurring theme in all of the modules.

A lot of the material covered in this session was common sense. I also didn't learn any valuable skills that will help me design Tableau dashboards

The peer graded assignment is far to volatile in this context. It should either be graded binary (done / not done) or done by staff....

It feels like the video tutorials were rushed and hard to follow this time.

All it's about visual design. I was expecting more deep on tableau usage.

Not really a Tableau course, and more a generalized data viz course

This was one of the most tedious courses I've taken on Coursera, and I did not learn "Design Principles for Tableau" rather this was more of a "visualization good practices" with a tiny bit of basic Tableau. The test was unfair as it asked us to remember historical details that are not important to learning data visualizations. Being aware is one thing - remembering a detail for a test that is about a skill is just not a fair request. I passed the test, but again - we didn't learn Tableau. Furthermore, during the peer grading assignment, my submission was repeatedly failed by other peer reviewers. On top of that - one of the assignments I reviewed was copied and pasted from my own, with my Tableau Public link. This course should be removed, or redesigned to limit bad peer grading and plagiarism. Also, take into account your own lessons on clutter and cognitive load.

Class 2 of 5 in the Specialization was repetitive, of itself and the first course, and was very high level. While the exposure to the tool and accompanying online communities was interesting, fun, and good Tableau practice, Courses 1 and 2 could be covered in 1 week; at times it felt like a Tableau infomercial. We never dug deeper than what Tableau does- no examples or practice on how to use it. This course doesn't stand up to the quality of content and teaching in other coursera courses I've taken including 'Learn SQL Basics for Data Science Specialization' and 'Excel Skills for Data Analytics and Visualization' - I highly recommend these courses. Based on reviews for the 3rd Tableau class I will not be continuing with the Tableau Specialization.

I have completed all my assignments before the deadline. However, I didn't get two certificates of the assignments which I have already done in August. If I want two certificates then I have to pay Rs 3500 for that certificates. I will never recommend this course to anyone and will not do any certification from Coursera again.

he is going sooooo fast with the practical part as if he is explaining to someone who has an analysis experience if so I would've take this course and he doesn't e plain the equations he is adding I felt that I issued a course in the middle before this course very disappointed and feel really not smart enough

Too much psychology theory part. I want to learn Tableau rather than how System I or System II works in my brain. I read Kahneman's book when I have leisure time, but I don't want to do such multiple choice problems in a computer class.

This course supposed to come with access to a 6-month, license for Tableau Desktop but it is impossible to get. I have been trying to get the license for a month but no luck. So disappointed.

This is completely theoretical. It would be better to include some practical work at the end of every week. It's completely boring. Try to include practical contents.

The teacher is clicking around and does not explain much. My screen often doesn't match his. I have taken many online courses. This is the worst.

Quiz references readings that are not listed anywhere in the module. Content of videos is helpful but the arrangement of this course is poor
