In this first course of this specialization, you will discover what data visualization is, and how we can use it to better see and understand data. Using Tableau, we’ll examine the fundamental concepts of data visualization and explore the Tableau interface, identifying and applying the various tools Tableau has to offer. By the end of the course you will be able to prepare and import data into Tableau and explain the relationship between data analytics and data visualization. This course is designed for the learner who has never used Tableau before, or who may need a refresher or want to explore Tableau in more depth. No prior technical or analytical background is required. The course will guide you through the steps necessary to create your first visualization from the beginning based on data context, setting the stage for you to advance to the next course in the Specialization.

Principales reseñas sobre FUNDAMENTALS OF VISUALIZATION WITH TABLEAU
Amazing course, amazing instructors and assignments. I really enjoyed working with Tableau. You may experience some confusion for some assignments but don't worry! Just use the discussion boards :)
Am glad I learnt a lot from this module, which I know will sharpen my skills for my chosen career path as a data scientist. Am hoping to learn more new skills to improve on my already existing skills.
The course deserves a 5-star rating because: (1) content is relevant, (2) the professor is concise and possesses great teaching skills, and (3) the learning modules are applicable to daily problems.
A course that really "holds your hands" when starting in tableau. The fact it forces you to use your social media account (or worse, create an account if you don't have 1) is a big downside for me.
