Míša Charvátová is taking this course right now, spending 1 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be very easy.
It is for people who has never seen Excel before (just little exaggeration). The lector doesn't use any shortcuts - so he can't recommend them... He just types everything and it takes ages... There is no added value to Excel documentation or help pages... -
