Good effort in making it simple and understandable. I expected more content for the tile of the course. But what ever was delivered was up to the expectations
By Paul Moldovan on 3/30/2023
It appears evident to me that this particular course did not justify the monetary investment, and I am of the opinion that the presentations were difficult to comprehend. I gathered relatively little comprehension from the presentations, and it seemed like they lacked clarity and depth. If one could even classify it as a "course," I found myself understanding more from the introductory "description" section.
By Victoria Ekong on 10/7/2022
This was a short and easy class. if one isn't used to excel it would be difficult to grasp all the helpful information given in the course of this lecture. Asides that, i enjoyed my class
By Sourav Suman on 7/28/2022
All in all good beginner course. Wanted little more on theory for wider understanding. Practically very good . I got this course for very less due to coupon code. Thanks for teaching Sir,

The content of this course was above my expectations. The instructor provides a clear and to the point explanations of the problem statements as well as solution. I would give it a 5-star if it would have contained a real life project. I look forward to the instructors using a real life data like the ones used for the virtual internship programs.

The course was amazing, it was more challenging than I thought but it was good one for using more than a tool from different areas - Excel, finance concepts and marketing - . The course content was presented in a good way and the resources provided gave me the chance to try using my own hands.
