The course is all over the place, it has no set direction, and it doesn't make sense, making it difficult to follow up

By Aliaa Mohameed on 1/21/2026

The trainer successfully bridges the gap between data science and graphic design. They transform students from "report builders" into "data storytellers" by focusing on professional-grade interactivity and clean, executive-level aesthetics.
