Data Visualization and Communication with Tableau

Excel to MySQL: Analytic Techniques for Business,

One of the skills that characterizes great business data analysts is the ability to communicate practical implications of quantitative analyses to any kind of audience member. Even the most sophisticated statistical analyses are not useful to a business if they do not lead to actionable advice, or if the answers to those business questions are not conveyed in a way that non-technical people can understand. In this course you will learn how to become a master at communicating business-relevant implications of data analyses. By the end, you will know how to structure your data analysis projects to ensure the fruits of your hard labor yield results for your stakeholders. You will also know how to streamline your analyses and highlight their implications efficiently using visualizations in Tableau, the most popular visualization program in the business world. Using other Tableau features, you will be able to make effective visualizations that harness the human brain’s innate perceptual and cognitive tendencies to convey conclusions directly and clearly. Finally, you will be practiced in designing and persuasively presenting business “data stories” that use these visualizations, capitalizing on business-tested methods and design principles.

data analysis

It's one of the best 'Data Analysis' I've come across online - and you can take it for free!

it's very good for me, before this class I know nothing about data analysis.

awesome tool, teaches you how to think like a data scientist Good course Excellent course, well presented Good JobLuca I really enjoy this Course the Explanations and Utilization of Tableau are the best, I really recomend this to anyone interest in Data Analysis or that need to work with a lot of data in their daily activities.

Best course from Duke's data analysis specialisation.

I felt that the videos and supplemental information provided valuable instruction on data analysis in the Tableau software and the communication of the results.

This course has been fantastic for getting a foundation in understanding data analysis and the use of Tableau!

This is an excellent class that covers basic data analysis and visualization with Tableau, but more importantly covers how to approach data analysis and how to present the results of a data analysis to a business audience (i.e., management executives).

Real application of data analysis and Tableau with a real data set and problem needing recommendations Really polished videos, really thorough explanations of how to do everything, really great overview of different functionalities that gave us a good balance of breadth and depth.

Way much better than data analysis with excel course.

Real-life project / dataset , in-depth exercises and a free 6-month license for Tableau desktop makes it extremely easy to practice, play and get expertise with both data analysis and Tableau software.

Thoughtful insight on approaching problem solving in data analysis world.

This course gives you a new idea of data analysis and visualization.

The course is professionally well done and covers all elements you need to think of during the data analysis process.

Excellent course not only in teaching basic (and some advanced) functionalities in Tableau, but also showing how to effectively communicate your findings after the data analysis.

They covered many things in Tableau and the examples are interesting and easy to follow.

final project

The exercises and final project are a little difficult.

The final project is interesting and needs some commitment that make this course a valuable one to take!

The final project is time and effort demanding but it is a wonderful chance to utilise what you have learned during the course.

Outside of quizzes which are graded by computers, your "practice" assignments (which aren't practice because you can't check your answers before a test, super awesome when you can't really ask for help), final project and forum questions are graded or answered by other students.

very useful, especially the final project.

Every lecture material (videos/exercises/final project) is carefully crafted to optimize student's learning experience.

Be sure to submit the final project days before the deadline.

The lecture videos taught me a lot and I was happy I got to use whatever I learned in the final project.

The only reason why I'm giving three stars was because of the submission process for the final project.

The final project allows you to showcase the learnt skills.

I stopped short of the final project, but the course was otherwise useful.

There is a gap between the instruction level and the difficulty of quizzes and final projects.

The only thing I wasn't too happy was the final project as the data was not easy to understand.

Very good structure of the Course Excellent class all round It is a solid course, also the final project is fun I learned quite a lot from this course, not only about Tableau, but also about effective communication of data analyses and insights.

too much

Although Week 1 and Week 4 are not too much about Tableau, Week 2 and Week 3 are really helpful.

Really interesting even if a little complex at times A really insightful course on visuali New user to Tableau - I found there to be too much information in both weeks 2 and 3 to absorb completely, which made the practice exams very time consuming.

Maybe I am expecting too much from an online learning platform?

Its a good course, but I feel too much details in week 3 course content.

Great course to get an introduction to Tableau.The downside for me was that some videos were rushed with as they had too much content, and quizzes could be much better, I found the questions not really up-to-par with the course content.

The quizzes are taking too much time.This is really unacceptable Great Course.

presentation skills

The professor is very knowledgable about the analytical & presentation skills and Tableau.

Overall, I think that the class is designed well for sharpening communication and presentation skills, not well for learning Tableau technical skills excellent As enjoyable as it is challenging, which is quite rewarding.

As you might already know, this class requires us to put together a 5-minute screencast video that will demonstrate our understanding in 1) Tableau, 2) Business Analytics and 3) Presentation skills.

I particularly liked this course for teaching me the basic presentation skills and expressing them through tableau.

Thanks very much for great content and especially, Ms. Jana Schaich Borg for brilliant presentation skills, lovely voice and good looking as well.

well organized

The course was very well organized.

Very well organized, and worked in a format where you would build as you learned and had several milestones for review.The one complaint I have is that the final asks for you to work in Tableau, and provides you a license for 15 days, although the course runs longer than that.

Awesome class - very well organized, great examples, challenging assignments, and includes interviews with real data analysts and data scientists!

Very well organized, material is engaging and really well presented.

The course is very practical and well organized.
