Was extremely helpful. I have dealt with data prior and have forgotten many of the ways/practices that other companies/analysts prepare, store and manage their data. Amazing refresher. Highly recommended.

Was an excellent way to start with a Data Analytics course without having a background.

Guided activities were the best way to understand how to practically work on data in a practical scenario.
