The lessons were easy to follow through and the explanantions were easy to understand. The hands-on practices also helped improve hands-on skills with the data analysis tools introduced in this course

The theory covered is not bad. However, there is a disproportionate imbalance between theory and practice opportunities. I was only able to follow along the lessons on SQL because of prior knowledge. The lessons on SQL were covered superficially and in haste. Don't think it even qualifies as a basic introduction. The quizzes are also poorly designed. Given that this was a course exclusively on 'preparing data', it should have been more practical. I felt a sense of fatigue while completing the course.

NOT for beginners. A lot of being talked at. ZERO hands on activities. You will need to google a lot of answers to pass tests because you are told "you'll learn this later on" and then a questions will pop up on a graded quiz. I despise this course, honestly and am only continuing so i can get this certificate. I legit wanted to learn data analytics but at this point my interest is dwindling. I learned more about SQL from a LinkedIn connection and their weekly newsletter. AND IT WAS FREE
