Principales reseñas sobre INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ANALYTICS: COMMUNICATING WITH DATA
por GG15 de ago. de 2020
The course does justice to its title i.e "Intoduction" but there could have been more hand on experience other than assignments. But a good start for the people getting into Data Visualization.
por AK12 de jun. de 2020
This course is ok for those who are looking fora good understanding of the concept of data visualization. However, there is no hands-on training on any of the data visualization tools.
por RP3 de sep. de 2019
It was great to give me a better understanding about the way how we can structure and systematically deliver a great data visualization. It will definitely improve my communication.

I loved the course it was great, although in the last honor track assignment I think it should be revised as it doesn't have anything to do with what was seen throughout the course
