This course was excellent! I really needed to learn macros, and it has made a significant impact on my career. While some of the hands-on exercises were a bit ambiguous, I managed to grasp the concepts and successfully learn macros and VBA. In the end, the course fulfilled its purpose, and I feel very accomplished.

It was sometimes frustrating because the course assignments weren't always clear. However, it made me think, dig around the internet, and come to really appreciate CoPilot. In retrospect, what frustrated me actually helped me learn more than I would have being hand-fed.

a lot of introductory references in the video, inconsistency of assignments, raw, the materials seem to be formed by people and ii. but in general for the course thank you for the pro it does not stretch to the pro but for a good overview of the possibilities you can say yes I would rate it on the 10 level of knowledge on the depth of penetration in excel on 4

Couple of issues are found in the course material. First, the example in the video to demonstrate the concept is swapped with another video. Second, the dataset files provided for the assignment are casually prepared. There are dataset files that is at the "processed" state rather than the "beginning" state for the assignement. There are missing data in the dataset files where assumpation has to be made in order to complete the assignment. The handling of missing data is not the purpose of this course so I do not think missing data in file is in purpose to examinate how the student handle the situation. Rather, it confused the student to fouse on what the main concept and skill for this course. Lastly, the assignment instruction for the peer-graded project in this course is very confusing. The video that explained how the project can be done is using a different dataset. And it does not talk about how to complete the second part of the assignment, which is the part that confused me the most. I submitted twice in order to get pass on the course but I do not know if my answer is the correct approach. The peers who graded the project seldom leave helpful comment on why they gave out a lower grade.
