Brilliant course! Essential knowledge for anyone wanting to become a GIS analyst. Great videos and tutorials, and assignment, which help you to apply and understand what you have learned.

Excellent course to have taken. Really enjoyed the course. And the instructor was really helpful throughout the course and explained everything in a really simple and straight manner.

Well structured but as with the previous course in this specialization there is way too much focus on ArcGIS. The course is called "GIS Data Formats, Design and Quality," not "Processing Data in ArcGIS." The module on ArcGIS Online is just unnecessary. There is nothing to be learned in that module that can be applied outside of an ArcGIS context.

Major lack in instructor support but a decent intro to GIS. Also, some clunks in hw instructions that slow things down. The first lecture should be on getting your student license bc it takes a few days to receive.

Scattered and lacking focus. The material is all there, but it feels like a laundry list of miscellany that didn't make it into the previous or next course in the specialisation.

Perhaps it needed a bit more clarity on the final assignment.

Sad that the series of this course, which was very useful at start with Nick, is going downhill. No technical support, no clear explanation of a certain concept or terminology anymore as it continues. This course is all about demonstration of different ArcGIS tool with little guidance. It takes only a few months to realize that I should start finding other learning materials to learn ArcGIS Pro.

This course has good information, but is riddled with typos and confusing aspects on the assignment. The final assignment has entire steps missing that are critical for finishing the assignment, making it very difficult to complete without outside help. I do not recommend this course.
