Asking relevant questions to the correct stakeholder, at the right time, is essential to all projects. This course did a fantastic job in going thru the various aspects of structured thinking, working with stakeholders and managing expectations. The study materials complemented the videos nicely, an the tests ensured that what we learnt stuck!!

At first, I have no idea that becoming a successful Data Analyst also must have to have skills in asking effective questions. I thought that Data Analyst is only dealing with Data and numbers. But since I finished the 2nd course of this program, I hope I'll get a better understanding and know how to deal with stakeholders in real life/work.

This course is very informative and interactive with the discussions. It offered a wide range of topics regarding how to ask the right questions in a project and how to properly communicate with stakeholders. I definitely recommend this course for anyone who's looking into improving their communication skills in the field of data analytics.

This course was great, it applied skills that were introduced in course 1 and the new skills learned in this course and tied them together. The scenarios and activities used in this course made me really apply my analytical skills and what I have learned so far and help me feel confident in doing so. I can't wait to start the next course.

I liked the course, but just would like to point out that the name of the course is not descriptive of the entire course. It includes so much more, which I wouldn't have known if I hadn't taken the course. As a result, my certificate also is not clear about the skills I learned. Thank you for the great work you guys are doing. Keep it up.

This was an awesome course! I learned a lot about how asking the right questions helps build the foundations for an entire project. There is a lot more to this course than just talking about asking questions and it was very helpful. I would advise taking notes if your able or going back to watch the videos again and re read the materials!

This course covered the skills of asking the right questions, effective communication, and the awareness of the power and limitations of data. This course introduces thinking about critically at a high level, and aims for people to think question their analysis. It also went over the importance of stakeholders and working alongside them.

So much to learn and know, but presented in interesting and varied formats (videos, readings, short and longer quizzes, self-reflection, and some hands-on practice). Great that it's at your own pace. Perfect for adult learners who don't always have 8 hours a day to sit at a computer, but are lucky to find one or two hours here and there.

I like how Google employees share their insights and experiences about their careers. It really helps me gain a sense of what to expect as a start and learn about data analytics. The course is outstanding and I learn so much from the videos, reading materials, and helpful links provided. I can never learn as much as how this course gave.

Overall the course is very good and informative and I have learned a lot. A small suggestion during the examples when the trainer was showing how to write a formula, it will be great if it can be shown or demonstrated a bit slower as for those who are not aware on how to do formulas find it too fast to cope.Other than that, all is good

I liked this course and its content really very useful for me

Special thanks for Ximena she is so professional and well prepared, as she described and explained each little detalis as depending on life example make the course very easy to understand.

Many thanks Ximena for your proffesional way and thanks Coursera for this usefull course.

This course really give you a framework that you can use to go deeper into the problem you are trying to solve by asking SMART questions. In addition, you will learn about the different stakeholders you will have to deal with and how to interact and communicate with them effectively in order to reach organizational goals effectively.

The "Ask Questions to Make Data-Driven Decisions" course on Coursera exceeded my expectations! The content was incredibly insightful, and the Instructors were engaging and knowledgeable. The interactive approach and practical exercises made complex concepts easy to grasp. A must-take course for anyone interested in Data Analytics!

This is the first phase of the 6 data analysis process and the second course for the Google Analytics Certificate but it is very important. Without this course moving forward can be slow. The way the course is laid out is organized just like the first. The examples that were given make the topic easy to digest. So I recommend it.

This course taught me how important is to ask questions and craft questions which are relevant and needed for a data analyst. In a job, the communication skills is needed for team collaborations which the course covers. Also I learnt about structured thinking and spreadsheet basics. Finally , this course is helpful for beginners.

For me who is new to Data Analytics, this course have been clear, concise and the phase is just right for me. Effective for beginner or somebody who is new to Data. Making us think more tactical, not just doing things with data or task. but to ask question why before so we can help ourself understanding the task and team member.

I had a lot of fun tacking this part of the certificate program, learning about data analytics is really where my career is focused. I'm currently in college to become a statistician. This certificate is exactly the right companion for; career skills, applied statistical analysis, and to create a focused "tool-box" of knowledge.

this course really amazing for asking SMART and Effective questions to get success in their data analyst career or even the asking question to our self to understand the problems from the root and making strategies solve the business problems and your personal problem too. I love this course and I am recommending to go with it.

This is the best Course I hace taken in a very long while, The instructors are the best, very clear with the lecture and more importantly try to break down important concepts for better undertanding. I am so excited to continue with the rest of the course. One of the best things happening to me right now. Coursera to the World.

This course to me is the most important. Coming from where I'm from alot of these communication techniques and conflict resolution startegies are NOT intuitive. For a course to break it down for you like this is so helpful for people who come from similar backgreounds like me that dont usually speakl or type like this normally.

It was an amazing course. It covers a lot of topics, sets a clear and comprehensive learning path linking each of its parts in a meaningful and useful way. The tools, resources and examples included help to understand new concepts and principles, and provide a solid base to continue growing, learning and developing new skills.

I loved the guided projects and the open ended questions, they really helped me build on my knowledge and get insight on what I need to brush up on. My key takeaways are the practical skills of creating the SOWs, structural thinking method of approaching problems. I will definitely be checking out the additional resources too.
