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 is alright, straightforward but un-surprising. Need more course material on HOW to use Tableau's functions.

Overall it was good but I think it was too theoretical. Too many concepts without applications on Tableau.

This course should be taught for school credit rather than here. Too much theory, we need more practice

There is a lot of theoretical material instead of providing the practical ropes in Tableau

We need the subtitles to be within the videos and not in a paragraph below the video

Too little practice, all desire to learn Tableau is slowly fading away..

This course is only useful if you have no experience visualizing data.

Good backgrounder, but should have incorporated Tableau a bit more.

I think the course must be more practical and less theoretical.

I enjoyed visualization until I took this course. This is the worst Coursera course I have taken so far. Though course contents were good, the course was super disorganized. Tableau version used in videos was from several years ago, so it can be confusing if you try to follow along with current version. Many reading materials mentioned in video could not be found in Resources area, but showed up in quizzes; same goes for other sample data (such as Anscombe Quartet data). Week 3 video referred to Cholera map presented in a prior week, but that material was not presented in week 1 or 2. Quiz answers referred to wrong modules to review. Finally, steps for Tableau Desktop installation provided in the course no longer works (and took a lot of googling to find the right method). Overall, the bad product experience took so much away from the course materials, I would not recommend this course.

I was initially disappointed by the focus on design principles with a limited emphasis on implementing these principles in Tableau. However, I realized that the structure of this course and its focus on Gestalt Principles and leveraging pre-attentive attributes were valuable. The problem was that each weekly module concludes with a quiz, but there's only one peer graded assignment for the whole class. That assignment includes instructions like "use one of the 9 design principles in a visualization that…". If the course was restructured so that there were a peer graded assignment to build a tableau visualization at the end of each weekly module it would have been much better.

Too much theory, but overall it can be applied. But for this course I would remove peer review because people are subjective. They added the grades as per their tastes in color. If you like colorful stuff or very strong colors, that doesn't mean they have to be used inside the viz. I don't find it fair to receive a low score because somebody likes red instead of blue.
