Content is outdated, and instructions are very vague and incorrect at times. I had issues completing the peer graded work, and had to find workarounds to be able to pass the course.

Wish that the course could spend more time teaching visualization tools that are more widely used in industry instead of Cognos. Not a lot of companies use Cognos.

i think we could have used a bit more exercise, information and practice with Cognos Analytics. It felt really short, also the trial should last minimum 60days.

The databases used in the hands-on labs are out of date and have poor formating, which makes it impossible for students to follow instructions.

Course is good but the peer review is bad. Either incorrect evaluation or given a zero so obviously person has not reviewed. Frustrating!

Includes incredibly irrelevant questions of type what did person X say in video Y. Does not actually test knowledge on the topic

This course needs to be updated as it did not always align with the exact way that it is set up on cognos.

IBM Cognos is not a common dashboard making tool in the market!! Teach us Power BI or Tableau instead.

Cognos is somewhat broken for our purposes.

Unfortunately, the course requires several updates.

IBM Cognos is not used widely, PowerBI or Tableau would have been an appropirate choice.
