    G​reat Course! Still some gaps between what is expected to have learned and what was actually taught as far as a couple of the charts are concerned. But overall just an absolutely WONDERFUL course.

    Documents should be updated when the system updates. Also, more learning around creating Visulaizations such as Treemaps and Heat Maps

    Information needs to be updated. Too much information not mentioned in the course but asked in the project, very confusing. Unless you already have a strong basic knowldege and research ability, otherwise you need to spend a lot of extra time figuring out the answers for not complicated questions just because the informationn mismatched. If you have trouble learning the material, I want you to know, it is not your problem, they claim the course doesn't need prior knowledge, which is not true The way how they teach make it impossible. I took other detailed courses before, which is why I was able to finish this course, but experiencing a lot of unnecessary strugglings. If you already have some visiuoalization experiece, you may give it a shot. Overall, I don't think this is an mazing course as they claimed.

    hello,

    I am very mad with registering accounts ibm.

    I paid 40$ each month. The course lasts 11 months, and I have only 1 month trial permission.

    Do not mention promotion codes. I interupted when I used it.

    Bad experiences.
