I couldn't get access to the Sandbox environment to practice and think it is outdated. Link > https://looker.qwiklabs.com/focuses/18343?parent=catalog The course is good, but I didn't get a response to my Q&A re: Sandbox environment. This meant I could not practice the skills being taught. This makes me consider making payment for future courses where support is optional or not guaranteed.

I would like to see a bit more of chart visualization options and customizing their apperance.

Well done. The content was explained nicely and was well organized. I also appreciated going through the examples and projects for hands on practice. I am a beginner with Looker and found this class very helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to use or explore Looker.
