I thought there would be more information and practice on how this applies to visualizations and how to improve upon visualizations through color theory. It is some really good information, but it's more about the background of color theory compared to practical applications.

Understanding the theory of color was beneficial, although it would have been better to minimize the repetition of terms like "scheme" and "concept." Instead, more time could have been dedicated to providing illustrative examples by visualizing alternative charts.

Few eye contact to audience, instructors kept looking at each other making me feel like I'm intruding into their private space. Some lessons felt like they were thought up on the spot, making me feel unsure if what they say is true or not.

I really enjoyed the idea to present artist vs nerd approach, it feels both light and pragmatic that way + was nice to see that presenters were having fun with this work. Definitely useful for any of my future report with visualization.

Could've been more detailed about color theory. Started off strong and got better toward the end. It was nice to see chemistry between the hosts, but some of the banter could have been reduced.

The content is incredibly useful and I'm glad I took the course; but the instructional style left something to be desired.
Kirill is a wonderful teacher - I love his other Udemy courses - but this instructional pairing was more distracting than it was engaging. The dynamic between the two them felt awkward (even strained at times) and they addressed each other more often than they spoke to the audience. The result was a less-than-captivating, and somewhat disorganized-feeling, lesson. It's entirely possible that my frustration stems from personal learning preferences; but for me, two instructors felt like one too many.

The course was great, I think it didn't have these practical examples earlier, at least that's what I can make from the older reviews. The only minus was the lack of chart types discussed during the hands-on exercise. Otherwise a fine course with a good blend of live examples and theory. I ran it at 1.75x but perhaps that's just personal preference.

This course is EXCELLENT! I develop visualizations in Tableau everyday but hesitate to go beyond the canned color pallets provided by the tool because every time I do it looks awful. I feel empowered to experiment now using the concepts and tools provided in this course! Thank you!
P.S. the Artist and Nerd thing really works!

It is only discussing the colors and visualization in the presentations and i wanted a course which is a design or photography coloribg related

It was a very nice experience to learn the color schemes and how important it's to choose the colors wisely for the data visuals to be most useful.

I really like how this course is packed with basic and practical information about color theory and schemes.
It gave me good perspective how to connect a color with data in data storytelling. It also gave me some ideas how to use this knowledge on some other projects of mine.
If you're new in data visualization, this is the course you should take to learn how to use color to present data and communicate with your audience as it is important part of data science job.

I found the content lackluster; between the music into/altro, the chatter and interactions between the speakers, and the slow pace, I would not recommend this for a Data Science course.

It is a good course, especially if one is looking for a basic foundation in color theory and application. The course does have quite a bit of fluff which dilutes the content. I did appreciate the resources and tools that the authors used in the course. All in all it was worth the discounted price that I paid.
