The course material and assessments were just right and very useful. The course is well structured and the instructors explain things so neatly that there are no doubts left after watching the videos.

This was a lot of fun, challenging, and very practical. I was able to start implementing the new skills I learned at work after each learning module. Can't wait to take the advanced course! Thank you!

This is very disappointing. Very little support given to mac users, unlike the previous courses. What a shame.

This class is not nearly as good as Intermediate I. It addresses more complex content but spends very little time doing so. The lessons are too brief for what it should be. The Practice Assignments and Assessments need to be reviewed and cleaned up. A lot of the instructions for the Assignments are poorly worded and confusing. The lessons show you a basic example and then you are expected to take that basic example and apply it to a much more complicated scenario without any additional instruction. I spent more time submitting reports to fix the content and address questionable quiz answers than I did actually learning the material. I am doubtful that this content is still being refreshed as a lot of the discussion forum is filled with unaswered questions from students going back years. It looks like the content was created in 2017 and hasn't been touched since. This was a very dissapointing class that fell well below my expectations.

The first two courses we excellent. Here they switched instructors and its absolutely horrible. Instructor moves way too fast, talks over instruction (she's clicking things in the background that apply to what she's currently teaching and not explaining that what she's doing is necessary to fully understand the concepts), etc. Then this first practice exam is so difficult that nearly everyone in the forums is struggling with it. There are people dating back 3 years who asked for help and got none. Some people have tried making whole columns to do calculations and then applying the answer to the worksheet, others have used simple formulas that don't work for everyone else. I myself have not been able to complete it. Here's the thing friends, there are 4 courses in this specialization and I complete the first 2 in a week. When everyone is struggling on the same thing, you know you aren't the problem anymore.

Awful. Go someplace else to learn this. One teacher speaks so quickly you can't understand her (I am a native speaker of English). I am still completely confused as to how to use IF functions, and how to nest functions. I would not have passed if I hadn't used ExcelJet and Lydia for support info.

It is fine for week 1-5, then you will be totally lost in week 6, as the level suddenly jump from intermediate to advanced, while there is insufficient explanation and examples in the video. I passed my final assessment, but most of the questions covering week 6 are incorrect.

The course is not updated and there's no much assistance. Many exercises in the practice challenges are patched up and errors can be traced back to 2017 when the course was created.

Besides, in some video such as the last one in week 6 coding procedures are not clear.
