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

As a beginner, I really appreciated the ease and pace of the course. The videos were explanatory, the reads weren't over-whelming, and the hands-0n activities were very easy to follow and comprehend.

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

It is not user-friendly. Plus the course content in video series is very less compared to how much a person has to read. If we have to read, then it is better we consult a book. I think the structure of the certificate can be improved by understanding how other course are provided by top rated universities where they force our learning to stick with us by making it more enjoyable. I am not enjoying the course at this stage and it feels like too much reading always.

I just really wish they would just teach us the material in a straightforward manner. There are so many elementary-school-level examples trying to make the content seem relatable and real-life it's actually a bit offensive. We're experienced learners, not children. We don't need long winded examples about country fair judges to learn that data can have biases.

The sections over SQL were not in order of complexity and I felt like I was just getting a handle on the basic queries when queries with "Distinct" showed up in the practices. This was frustrating because I wasn't taught that. And then the class went right back to the basic queries again. BigQuery is complicated and this course did not help very much.

1. I found several time difficulties to understand the question of SQL, and once I answered wrong I was suggested to go to refresher but still I cannot understand in which part of the refresher related to that question.

2. some running SQL is not working eventho I have wrote the same query as example I dont know why
