I am learning SAS programming. SAS macros are very helpful to apply in my sas programs.
By Choungwan R. on 6/12/2022
I'm sorry to say that I can't find the class helpful at all, though I'm very accustomed to SAS in every persepective. I stopped watching the class after sections 1. Poor delivery in explanation.. Anyone who found this class helpful? good for you. Perhaps This class isn't for me.

Instructor did well, however, it's too basic and do need to elaborate with real world examples
By Nitin Kumar on 12/13/2017
Whatever he had covered in the course is well explained. But, according to me this course should contain more functions to create a macro like eval & syseval. It will be very helpful, if instructor will include tricky & technical questions that can be asked in the interviews. Best Regards, NK

Great course overall!! Hopefully the instructor will continue to add more real-world examples, but I definitely learned some new things with the lessons provided!
By M.D. Kabir on 6/4/2017
I like the course overall. I found it helpful. It would be better - 1. if when the code and logs are shown were slower 2. if the switching between pages were slower. 3. if the reference dataset was shown in more details.

The Course is very easy to understand with lot of practical applications shown as examples. This is very useful and easy to practice and implement at my work.

The explanation is very clear.
By Francois Aguilera on 2/25/2017
Interesting start. Up to now we have gone over the basic concepts of what is a SAS macro, how it can be used in open code and also in a macro function.
By Likhesh Mahajan on 1/26/2017
Very good courses , Explanations are crystal clear.I personally know Macros very well. But there is always a scope of learning new techniques , methods etc. Overall I liked the course.
