I was certainly able to get some good insights on visualization and where storytelling comes in. However, the course seems more geared at journalists or scientists than at business. The bar is set quite high for visualizing complexity, e.g. using animated visualizations. The language of the course sounds more like written than spoken language. I'd check the transcript. It's choc-full of mistakes that lower the credibility of the course. Some examples: "dodgiest visualization" for ".js visualization" or "rose" for "rows", "aren't coated" for "are encoded".

An overall good course on how to structure storytelling and make it appealing to your audience.

So far I am very happy with Udemy courses. I have a lot of courses I need to study and have to go back an forth between several of them. Because it has been laid out so well this has been an easy process..Thank you

I enjoyed this course. It highlighted a great way to tell stories through visualisations and data and how to engage your audiences.

Good match. Different approach to many other data storytelling courses which is important. Introduced me to new tools which I liked (DS, Odyssey).

By Jacek Jusyn on 12/28/2018

Very interesting course, although the volume level could be improved. Listening to the course through iPhone was very difficult as I could hardly hear anything on max volume of iPhone. The only lesson, which was recorded well was the one that came from another course and was not really related to Storytelling course. Anyway, the course is worth its time. Thank you.

The course is so easy to follow, even for someone who is new to data visualization techniques. I enjoyed the use of the storytelling arc to build a data story. It made the material totally relatable.

Very happy with the quality of information provided in the course and the clear delivery by the instructor. Topics that can be hard to grasp were explained beautifully and repeatedly throughout the course so a firm understanding was gained of the topic.

engaging and informative, yet academic and thorough...
