Essential Design Principles for Tableau
Data Visualization with Tableau,
In this course, you will analyze and apply essential design principles to your Tableau visualizations. This course assumes you understand the tools within Tableau and have some knowledge of the fundamental concepts of data visualization. You will define and examine the similarities and differences of exploratory and explanatory analysis as well as begin to ask the right questions about what’s needed in a visualization. You will assess how data and design work together, including how to choose the appropriate visual representation for your data, and the difference between effective and ineffective visuals. You will apply effective best practice design principles to your data visualizations and be able to illustrate examples of strategic use of contrast to highlight important elements. You will evaluate pre-attentive attributes and why they are important in visualizations. You will exam the importance of using the "right" amount of color and in the right place and be able to apply design principles to de-clutter your data visualization.

A good course if you're looking at design principles as they apply to any visualization, data specific or otherwise.
I was initially disappointed by the focus on design principles with a limited emphasis on implementing these principles in Tableau.
That assignment includes instructions like "use one of the 9 design principles in a visualization that... ".
Excellent course related to visualization design principles using Tableau I really liked this course, I wished there were more graded projects to get a bit more Tableau hands on experience.
I found this course extremely useful as it helped me better understand design principles which can be put into good use in other visualization tools as well.

Rename "Essential Design Principles for Tableau" to "Essential Design Principles" and the course would be fit much better.For those thinking about the Specialization:I'm doing the Specialization "Data Visualization with Tableau" and contents through the courses are soooo repetitive.
the course i helpful and have good knowledge about the design principles.
In depth training of design principles.
Although it is a part of the tableau specialisation, the course focus is more on design principles rather than anything to do with Tableau.

peer graded assignment
The course doesn't walk you through an example of how to meet and complete the requirements of the peer graded assignment.
The problem was that each weekly module concludes with a quiz, but there's only one peer graded assignment for the whole class.
I would like to have more additional material to read..i think the videos are not enougth The peer graded assignment is far to volatile in this context.
Taking too long for peer graded assignment to be checked.
Moreover, in peer graded assignment I think the requirements should be placed as bullet points.

Enjoyed the assignment.it was not too time consuming and complicated but very useful, and the ability for peers to review and review others.
Great course for beginner to have a overview of data visulization The course was very well designed and very useful too.
This course didn't teach me much in Tableau - instead, it was packed with design theory that isn't very useful in practice.
