This course is simply awesome. If you want to learn something worthwhile, then this course is for you. It has no answers anywhere to copy, so we have to work hard on it and practice the material. The Coursera and Macquarie University deserve many thanks.

I thought I was advanced in Excel, since I use it every day, but with this essentials course I found out I can be even better, and even if I know how to do many of the things taught in this course, they gave me tricks and shortcuts to do them even better

Ce cours est extrêmement bien expliqué. J'aime l'aspect permettant à l'apprenant de toujours pratiquer ce qu'il a appris antérieurement et également il est facile pour lui de retenir les raccourcis et les terminologies Excel. C'est un excellent travail.

The course is well-planned. They really make sure that you retain the information they discussed in the videos. I really learned a lot about Excel in here. Everything tackled was explained clearly. I must say this is one of the best courses in Coursera.

I've been using MS Excel for more than 5 years now at work and I figured out that I still have a lot of things to learn! This course opened my eyes to a more technical perspective for MS Excel. I can say that I am more equipped to handle my current job.

Recomiendo mucho este curso debido a que esta muy bien diseñado. Si bien el curso nos muestra los aspectos básicos de Excel, existen aspectos que rara vez se usan y son de mucha utilidad. Los videos son cortos y precisos, con una explicación muy amena.

I learnt a lot from this course. I had Spread Sheet Modelling in my first trimester of MBA, still there were many new features taught in course that I didn't come across earlier. End of Module exercises serve their purpose in "Practice makes Permanent".

Great course to get your basic skills up to scratch. What you learn is important for a university and work context. I would say it was a bit tricky to do this on a Mac (with different shortkeys etc), but for the most part it was all compatible. Thanks!

Excel does magic in making data tasks easier in every possible way. This course helped me to know the basic of excel and as the tutor said practice makes permanent, so I keep learning new thing by practice on the different worksheets. 5/5 from my side.

The questions for the assessments are too good. Not very easy and you have to put your head into it, think, and answer. The syllabus division is made in a way that it doesn't create too much pressure. Looking forward to start the intermediate courses.
