Pros
Cons
-
- Clear, patient explanation of all covered concepts. Absolutely no computer background is necessary to get through this series.
- Thorough walkthroughs make it easy for you to open your own spreadsheet and follow along.
- High, positive energy makes an otherwise dry topic compelling and interesting.
- This is more than just a handful of tips to help with Excel. It is a comprehensive tutorial in the features, functions and applications of the software.
-
- As with any YouTube tutorial series, there is no direct interaction with the instructor.
- 12 hours is a lot of time to spend going through Excel. Course can feel long.
- Despite the deep dive, lessons do not cover background knowledge necessary to fully utilize some of the explained features (e.g. Lessons on statistical tools do not fully teach how the statistics work).
