fundamentals of visualization

This courses is a very mild gentle introduction to tableau with very little hand-ons,but with a very rigorous coverage of the fundamentals of visualization with specific emphasis on why,what and how of the visualization.

Fundamentals of Visualization with Tableau?After you end with this course, you will feel so dissapointed.

Very important part of this course is the fundamentals of visualization in general.

This course, on the contrary, provides very deep dive into fundamentals of visualizations and uses Tableau as of the instruments to create them!

Recommend other to get this course to start and understand the Fundamentals of Visualization with Tableau.

In addition, quiz and exercise are boring ... Good foray into the subject of Data Visualization nice Covers the basic components Fundamentals of Visualization with Tableau is avery usefull It was a good way to get into the fundamentals and start having a basic understanding of data visualizations.

I think this course if totally relevant but should change the name to just "Fundamentals of Visualization" While the material was very good one of the assignments was very outdated and it was not clear how to proceed using the free version of Tableau nor what was required.It did require more thinking and knowledge organisation than I am used to (being a stats person) but was a valuable introductory course nonetheless.

rather than

It touches very little Tableau so maybe if someone is looking for fundamentals on how to make a visualization in Tableau this is not the right course because it goes more into theory of visualization rather than hands-on the tool.

Though I felt that week 3 was a little boring but that is mostly because it was too technical and also the Tableau Public has been updated in 2019 so there are a lot more options to connect with data rather than using Odata servers.

The few hands-on exercises that are presented would benefit from more specific objectives (e.g., rather than just creating and saving "a visualization", specify a question for students to answer with that visualization.)

I liked the discussions around context and building sound research principles rather than simply jumping straight into Tableau.

More focused on 'how to think' rather than hands-on practices.

Not very informative, it would help a lot if there was some sort of standard dataset that was included with the course rather than picking your own, as the dataset I picked was not nicely formatted for use in Tableau (although I would've been fine making visualizations in Python/R/etc).Final project requires you to post on Twitter.

too simple

However, if you already have some basic knowledge or experiences, the course would be too simple for you to learn.

For someone with absolutely zero knowledge of data viz or Tableau, I'm sure this course will be great, but from anyone with even a little knowledge, it's too simple.

this course is too simple god one Covered the basic of creating a story for visualisation in Tableau.
