About the Course

In this third course of the specialization, we’ll drill deeper into the tools Tableau offers in the areas of charting, dates, table calculations and mapping. We’ll explore the best choices for charts, based on the type of data you are using. We’ll look at specific types of charts including scatter plots, Gantt charts, histograms, bullet charts and several others, and we’ll address charting guidelines. We’ll define discrete and continuous dates, and examine when to use each one to explain your data. You’ll learn how to create custom and quick table calculations and how to create parameters. We’ll also introduce mapping and explore how Tableau can use different types of geographic data, how to connect to multiple data sources and how to create custom maps....

Through this course learner can efficiently learn about dual layer maps, dual axis, creating calculated fields and many more. Thanks for such a great platform to learn and for great instructors.

This course, which I completed as part of UC Davis' Data Viz Specialization, was clearly presented and involved a lot of hands on assignments that helped to increase confidence and skills.

The course was a great overview. I wish we would have spent more time on specifics. I feel like I didn't always have enough information/training to complete the full exercise at the end of each course.

Assignments were just a mere replication of visuals. A good mix of self-created visualizations would be good for learners. There is too little information on the replication assignments as well.

Good course, correct level of detail but need to provide grading rubrics for peer graded submissions as part of the directions rather than finding out what is needed after submitting.

Much more interactive and useful than the previous two courses in this specialization. I learned how to engage new features of Tableau and practiced them in the assignments.

I liked that academic content but wished it had references to technical content. But analytics is more than the mechanics of creating visualisations. Highly recommended.

In the peer graded assignment, the pictures of visualisation shown is not good enough, we need to zoom it to 200%. Rest all are excellent in this course. Must do

This was the first course in the specialization where I learned something new. People with any experience with Tableau should probably start with this course.

I was not able to put together the formula and that it cause me a problem submitting the week assignment.

Very frustrating and do not see any help at all.

This course was short and sweet. I wish there were more practical examples with different datasets. The assignments could've been more challenging

THe course is well explained, you end up with four visualizations and it's a good first attempt to understand how to create great visualizations.

Interesting to acquire basics of Tableau

Then a lot of fundamental features are missing like interaction, Level Of Details, and so on

Hoping to see much advanced courses in coursera, basic course as this one is very easily available on youtube and tableau's site.

Course is good but the data sets should be improved for assignments, and some little clarification in assignments will be good

I wish more time was spent on Calculated Field Functions, along with practice problems for the available functions in Tableau

Well done. A right quantity of theory about visualization and of practical use of Tableau to apply what you learned.

It is a good course but it need more examples, especially for uncommon charts like Gantt charts, bullet charts...

I think the explanation of the tools was good but you migth learn more of the videos that are on Tableau.com

In the first week the assignment contained concepts that were not taught and we're taught in later weeks.

useful but some of the teaching is outdated as the UI of tableau has changed with recent updates.

It would be great if mentors/instructors can promptly follow up with students' requests/problems.

I liked the course and learned. The peer graded assessments were not clear in the instructions.

It might be more appealing to have not one, but two or three examples in every video of Week 3.

Overall, I like the class. I just hope the assignment instruction can be a little more clear.
