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.

Me encantó este curso, fue un gran refresh de temas tan imporantes y básicos que a veces olvidamos pero simplemente son fundamentales: La comunicación efectiva, establecer metas y objetivos claros con nuestros interesados y ser mejores profesionales cuando se trata de mejorar nuestro rendimiento en las reuniones.

This course is helped me a lot, because of I don't know how to stakeholders working, how to communicate with them, how to ask right questions, sending emails regarding for reports and updates. How to collaborate the team in different departments, how to solve the conflicts with the team.

Really, it's very helpful for new beginners to understand the workplace scenarios.

It's amazing how easily Ximena(the Instructor) was able to connect the twisted concepts with real-life examples, making the study of 'Ask Questions to Make Data-Driven Decisions' so much more interesting.

I am appreciative for the efforts, training, and materials put into this course, as I am now beginning to gain a greater understanding of the Data Analytics course.

I learned a lot about this course! Knowing what the important points are before starting a project, how to face a meeting or how to communicate to a team member or a superior when we don't meet the deadlines of a project are very important things to know, and they are rarely explained in courses. I find this learning really helpful and valuable, I recommend it 100%.

This second of 8 courses in Google Analytics Professional Certificate taught and oriented me on how to make data-driven decisions. And the more I got immersed in data analytics, the more I gain interest in learning more about the course. I'm looking forward to further my knowledge in data analytics and eventually practice it to complement my journalism background.

Lots of great info. Enjoyed all of the videos and the "hands-on" exercises. I appreciate how the Course Challenge presents real-world situations rather than a re-hash of the Week-Challenges throughout the course. Definitely revealed a couple of areas I should have paid more attention to. Moving forward! Thanks for the great course material and learning!

This course is really amazing. It taught us about different ways of asking questions, structural thinking, ways how to del in meetings and our subordinated, and how to deal with difficult situations at the work place. This course has lots of practical examples from where we can learn the real scenario. Thank you the organizing team and special thanks to Google.

A solid way to start digging into the more detail-oriented side of problem solving. This course will focus on the "ask phase" of the data analysis process. You'll hone in on things like questioning, problem-outlining, and communication between yourself and others. It's a little slow at times, but it's all apart of the process. Take it all in and be curious.

A Breeze!! Loved every minute! So much of this I know from my previous position as a Instructional Data Coach, however I have learned so much more about data limitations, fixes and errors. I have also worked as an instructional trainer and project manager so the components that covered effective communication and leading great meetings were pretty routine.

one of the best courses I have ever take as it gives a lot of information and a lot of real-world scenarios that allowed me to have a good idea of what data analyst do on an everyday basis, and the instructors have very great presentation skills as they provided the information like they are telling a story and was enjoying it like I was watching a movie :)

I've used some form of data analysis in my current career as an Engineer, this course allowed me to expand my current knowledge of data analysis by expanding beyond just crunching numbers. I am now better prepared to define the problem at hand by asking the right questions, including the right people and improving how my analysis are communicated and used.

Honestly, as a teacher. I can think of several ways to improve some of the reviews provided, using interactive t-charts and other types of diagrams. If you were to create a table with the types of stakeholders and have the students drag each position into the correct area, it would possibly reveal any misunderstanding and help students clear up confusion.

I saw the other rating and was sceptical. But I endured and started the course. It was worth it. The course was a good mix of new and repetition. I am already familiar with the tecnical side, that is spreadsheets and so on, but I did not use the Google versions up to now. It is amazing how fast one can get to results. The Kurs challenge was good. Thanks.

This course was very useful for me in many ways. First, this course is The first process step in the data analysis process and is the cornerstone. Second, I have benefited from this course in my life, as it gave me the ability to solve problems by asking effective questions to arrive at possible solutions. (I highly recommend).

Good trainers all around, and the main trainer seemed very natural. I think any even "normal" admin workers can make use of this particular course, even if they're not planning to take the whole Data Analytics course. I can't express how many times I saw people taking out their calculators and then typing out the results one by one in their excels.

The experience with this course has been excellent. Now I have a clearer vision of how I should address the questions, situations and to establish clearer communication with the stakeholders of a project, I learnt tools such as spreadsheets and SQL and mainly on how to ask objective questions that allow me to carry out an effective data analysis.

This Course covered the most important stage of Data Analytics which is Asking Effective Questions. To be honest this course helped me a lot in building my concepts about effective questions, using spreadsheet, Formulas and Functions, structured thinking and improving communication skills. Thank you Ximena for instructing me throughout the course.
