This course was supposed to be aimed at VBA beginners, with little prior knowledge of excel functions and VBA. The course started well but by week 4 the assessments tested areas that were not covered in the course and the final assessment in week 4 used excel functions and inputs that were totally new and not even discussed or explained. This led me to spend excessive time reading literature and asking for support from colleagues purely to pass the assessment.

I had hoped that this course would be enjoyable and that i would follow up with the next courses to build my knowledge.....i wont be taking any more VBA courses and will opt to read books and get help - the timeline was to tight as I work long hours and have a young family.

if i coud have left zero stars i would have.

This is the worst course I've taken on Coursera.

The instructor doesn't want to help, answer questions or clarify anything. You can't contact him, and he won't answer anything put to him in the discussion forum. His style of delivery is awful too. Talks fast, but constantly says the wrong thing, and then corrects himself. Painful listening.

Instructions given lack clarity. There is clear inconsistency in assignments, and all in all I just found it a shambles.

I have unerolled, and will find a better course to learn about VBA.

Good instructor and easy-to-understand explanations, but it is impossible to progress through the course because the "Grader" files do not work appropriately, and you can't move on if you don't submit the assignments. I confirmed multiple times that my code was working properly, but the Grader file still didn't work. I wasn't receiving any responses in the assignment discussion, and don't know if my "report issue" actually went to anyone or not.

There are COUNT comments about the grading files NOT working on Macs (even with office 365), and no one is dealing with it. If the materials are not compatible with Macs, there should be info on the course introduction page. Waiting for students to find out themselves after enrolment is just unacceptable.

If you are going to do this course, you absolutely cannot use a Mac for it. This is not made clear in the beginning and wastes a lot of time. There is also no communication between the instructor and the class, and the last bit of it was from 3 years ago. If I have questions, they will never be answered.

This could have been a supercourse... however the grading system deters me to such a degree (it uses an 'automated' grader whereby every step such as naming should be 100%) that I will not be taking the exams.

I've taken a lot of Coursera Courses - and this is the worst. I would expect a stronger core build up of foundational elements. This jumps right in with a lot of assumptions and terms.

Worst course ever !!! Don't buy it, trust me !! I have passed more than 20 courses on Coursera but this one is awful

West of time. No experience of teaching. No one can learn anything from the instructor.

cant get access to 2nd week

No assistance available. Had to quit in week 4 and try something else.

Very bad Course
