The Postgraduate Certificate in Data-Driven Science Journalism (Advanced) was a great experience for me. I liked how the course was structured, with a mix of theoretical and practical lessons. The instructors were good, and the materials were relevant to my work as a journalist. I learned a lot about data visualization and how to use it to tell stories. The course also helped me improve my critical thinking and analytical skills. One thing that could be improved is the feedback on assignments - sometimes it took a while to get feedback, which made it hard to adjust my work. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Data-Driven Science Journalism (Advanced) was a valuable learning experience for me. The course provided a thorough introduction to data-driven journalism, covering topics such as data sources, cleaning, and visualization. I appreciated the detailed explanations and examples provided in the course materials, which helped me understand the concepts better. The instructors were also very helpful and responsive to questions. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies from diverse regions, including Africa and the Middle East. Nevertheless, I found the course to be well-structured and informative, and I'm satisfied with the knowledge and skills I gained. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in data-driven science journalism, particularly those looking to enhance their analytical and storytelling skills.
