More Focus Required on What Course Promises to Accomplish
Rachel was a great instructor and was very engaging. Course started off with a strong concept and was built on concepts required to ultimately get exposed/learn more complex analytic tools (PowerBi). Last two courses (17% of instruction) were really a throw away and had nothing to do with "Data Analytics" those two course should have spent more time helping students learn how to use tools rather then how to market themselves to future employers. Storytelling is important, but it should be kept to the framework of understanding what your data is telling you and to communicate this to others in organization as finance professionals. Would have liked to enrolled a couple others in my organization in course, but will instead look for courses that are more focused on practical applications of available analytic tools. Large disparity in knowledge level among instructor/participants kept the classroom discussion bogged down to accommodate those who struggled to understand concepts.
