A bit too fast for me. Need to go back to sample worksheet to follow what the instructor is talking about.

I prefer face to face learning so I can stop the tutor if I need a point to be clarified. I find that the relentless talking with the assumption that I understand it all first time very frustrating and I keep having to rewind to hear it again. The constant stream of information with little explanation and the pop up messages that are not simply a reinforcement of the commentary makes this very difficult to follow and take in, especially as they do not stay on the screen for very long. I suggest that while the captions are up the commentary is stopped to enable the course taker to read and inwardly digest the information. The ability to put into practice the new processes learnt at more frequent intervals would have been useful rather than having exercises that incorporated so many new concepts at less frequent intervals. Overall I did not find this an enjoyable course and there are still many functions that I will not be able to use as the explanations were convoluted and delivered at a speed that made it impossible to follow.

I think this course was a bit fast paced. Personally I think the annotations are particularly useful for learning but trying to read the text whilst he was also talking quickly made it a bit confusing and I had to keep pausing and re-watching sections over again. Further more in the exercises, having all the same city, state and zip code (after row 30) made it confusing to check my answers were correct. Finally there were some errors in the solutions/questions. In exercise 1 there was an instruction in round nine to input the data into 'Main A19' but I'm sure they meant to put it in A10 to update the conditional formatting.

For me, this course was an adequate introduction into the various parts of being an intermediate excel user. From lookups to customizing pivot tables Simon was able to clearly explain the basic functions of each excel tool. However, his explanations on how to apply or customize those tools were too fast as I often found that he would splice or insert various formulas in a quick second, whilst explaining another concept. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of text on the screen window paired with the teaching audio only served to clutter the workspace that Simon was using. This resulted in a muddled delivery that had me too quickly switching my attention from the text to trying to comprehend what Simon was teaching. I purchased this course on sale for 18 dollars and can only recommend the course at that price as a full 75$ is just too steep.
