About the Course

This is the third course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. As you continue to build on your understanding of the topics from the first two courses, you’ll be introduced to new topics that will help you gain practical data analytics skills. You’ll learn how to use tools like spreadsheets and SQL to extract and make use of the right data for your objectives, and how to organize and protect your data. Current Google data analysts will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks with the best tools and resources. Learners who complete this certificate program will be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as data analysts. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, learners will: - Find out how analysts decide what data to collect for analysis. - Learn about structured and unstructured data, data types, and data formats. - Discover how to identify different types of bias in data to help ensure data credibility. - Explore how analysts use spreadsheets and SQL within databases and data sets. - Examine open data and the relationship between, and importance of, data ethics and data privacy. - Gain an understanding of how to access databases and extract, filter, and sort the data they contain. - Learn best practices for organizing data and keeping it secure....

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

Thank you for the course! It's a nice introduction to SQL and Google Big Query as well as the concepts of data privacy and security. The course also offers some great tips for professional networking.

Some of the exercises and self-reflections seem repetitive and unrelated to the material. These feel more like course filler than anything of practical use.

A few points of confusion for me include stating that metadata isn't used in data analytics and also stating the encryption isn't part of data privacy.

This course is tought with lots of SQL challenges and information buried in documents. This one has taken me the longest out of the courses thus far.

some chapters had a poor guidance. Kaggle tasks and assignments come without much explanation, either. This course was a bit stressful and too fast.

It was a solid course, outside of the middle of the course where the BigQuery videos DO NOT match up to the current version of BigQuery at all.

Learning Kaggle was a bit confusing, I still don't have the best understanding of it.

But, the offsite hands on learning activities were fun.

BigQuery's UI is not that great, also a lot of the content felt somewhat repetitive but other than that it was good.
