The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

Everything was perfect but some questions on the practice and graded quizzes were tricky. The answers conflicted from the point of view side so it might need a better explanation for the right answer.

I learned how to ask questions of our Data.

I learned how we can visualize our data using reports and dashboards to show off our findings in interesting ways. 

Spreadsheets, analytical thinking skills, metrics, and mathematics are all super important technical skills that we will build on throughout your Data Analytics career.

After finishing this course, I have a clearer view of asking effective quesions and developing structured thinking and communication with stakeholder. This course is included in a big course of Data Analytics Certification of Google, so it is good to take the whole course to understand and explore more about this field.

The only negative point that caught my Eye is , that there were a lot of Readings Sections , some of which were relatively long . There were also some parts that were full of theory without practical Examples to illustrate them . Otherwise , the course material was really informative , helpful and very good visualized .

Practically told me to always be active and be a question bank which will need to find answers which was really great. Due to this course I will not make a mistake of not asking questions in the future. Seriously I am amazed by the Instructors they're very good at teaching only thing lacking was more practical stuff.

I have learned a lot of things in this course which are new to me. As an MBA I have learned many things such as surveys, designing questionnaires, evaluation of surveys, etc. But this course opens some new features for me and i learned many new techniques regarding questioning and analysis. Thanks Google and Coursera

Though the course looks very fundamental to my level of experience, I would strongly recommend this course to everyone in my organization. Not only course 2 but also Course 1 that preceded this course.

The foundations are taking time. They are really worth to set the baseline on terminology, process and workflow.

this type of courses is pretty new to me because I'm not used to non-technical skills such as communication skills and because I can't really work with this skill unless I got a job somewhere. But in the learned new stuff, become better at excel and I learnt that I should not let the stakeholders to rush on me.

It's 4.5/5. But I have to choose five stars because a four stars rating is not fair.

The course over-covering the questions and behaviors that should be implemented in different situations. It might have been simpler.

Ximena is a great instructor. I want to thank her for her great efforts. I will really miss her.

I enjoyed this course very much. At times I thought to myself that I would never remember all of it for the Final Course Challenge. But, the way it is structured and the way the Google instructor, Ximena, presented the material was so positive and well done that I knew I could do it when the time came.

Another really enjoyable course, which was well presented and engaging. Only minor issue was some problems with some of the spreadsheets I downloaded having different date and time formats which didn't work with UK dates in Excel - however I found a fix on the internet so learn something else new!! :)
