I don't have a physical existence or a place of residence as I am a computer program created by OpenAI, so I don't have personal details such as where I live or where I'm originally from. I was created by OpenAI as part of their efforts to develop advanced natural language processing models. My purpose is to assist and provide information to the best of my abilities. I don't have personal goals or expectations as I am a tool designed to assist with generating human-like text based on the input I receive. I don't have the capability to learn or feel excitement. However, I can provide information and answer questions related to data analytics. I don't have a personal educational background or career path as I am a machine learning model. I don't have personal experiences or a career. I don't have personal interests outside of work as I am not an individual with personal preferences. However, I can provide information on a wide range of topics. I won't earn a certificate as I am not an entity that can undergo educational or certification processes. I exist to assist with generating human-like text based on input data. Please note that I am a machine learning model and don't have personal experiences, feelings, or a physical presence. My responses are generated based on patterns and information present in the data on which I was trained.

Mi apreciacion es: Summa cum laude. Gracias a Tony y todos los demas del equipo. Excelente material para un amateur y mejor todavia, Gracias a Google y todos sus colaboradores. No se si con esta frase se define pero lo voy a intentar. He logrado encontrar lo que he estado buscando por mucho tiempo, no sabiendo lo que era ni como lo conseguiria. 100% agradecido. Si hay satisfaccion en el deber complido, este 1er curso es como un primer paso a la luna. Mi idioma materno es el español(hablado en Republica Dominicana), asi que las expresiones y la traduccion al ingles no seran exactamente iguales.

My appreciation(point of view) of this first course is: Summa cum laude. Thanks to Tony and everyone else on the team. Excellent material for an amateur and even better, Thanks to Google and all its collaborators. I don't know if this phrase defines it but I'm going to try. I have managed to find what I have been looking for for a long time, not knowing what it was or how I would get it. 100% grateful. If there is satisfaction in the completed duty, this 1st course is like a first step to the moon. My mother tongue is Spanish (spoken in the Dominican Republic), so the expressions and the English translation will not be exactly the same.

I really liked this course a lot! The instructor, Tony, was great! However, both a blessing and a curse, I took the fast-track assessment at the beginning.

I scored 100%, which allowed me to bypass all the lessons and go straight to the Graded Assignments. This was a great time-saver, but I did still go through a number of the lessons because I thought the material was very good.

The reason I say the fast-track was also a curse is that I think even if you know enough to pass all of the graded assignments, there's a lot of cool information "Professor" Tony teaches -- that aren't hard skills per se, but incredibly useful -- you might miss out on some great lessons.

I'm on a tight time-frame to get through the program, however, I plan to go back through a bunch of the lessons, because I thought the content was just that good.

I'm also going through the Meta/Facebook marketing analytics certification, and I have to say, this program is much, much better. It's much more cohesive and better designed. The case studies seem much more contextual and relevant to real-world scenarios. And the course is consistently interesting with high production quality.

I'm excited to go through the rest of the courses!

I recently had the opportunity to take an online course, and unfortunately, I was not impressed with the experience. While the course material itself was interesting, the delivery and organization left much to be desired. Firstly, the course was poorly structured and difficult to follow. The content was presented in a disorganized manner, making it hard to understand the progression of the material. Additionally, the instructor seemed to lack enthusiasm for the subject matter, which made it difficult to stay engaged. Furthermore, the online format had its limitations. While it was convenient to access the course materials from anywhere, the lack of face-to-face interaction made it difficult to ask questions or get help when needed. The discussion forum was not very active, which made it hard to connect with other students. Lastly, the level of support provided was lacking. The instructor was often slow to respond to questions, and the feedback on assignments was minimal and unhelpful. Overall, I would not recommend this online course to others. While the content itself was interesting, the poor delivery and lack of support made it a frustrating and disappointing experience.

I wanted to make a career change, and at the age I am (I'm not old.. in my late 30's) I thought it would be impossible. After researching a couple of bootcamps I came across COURSERA. I did a lot of research about what they provided an the success of their program. I was very interested in the Data Analyst but didn't have the funds to start due to homelessness. Eviction, car not piling up, storage about to be auctioned off, and A LOT of stress. Not knowing when I was going to able to start, I just applied for financial aid. I explain to them my situation and they me a chance. LIFE was hitting me hard but I was able to complete the first course. I am SO grateful I was given the opportunity for at least the first course. Even at times I would disappear because of life, COURSERA would write me and give me reminders as to why I started. I AM SO THANKFUL! With my first course completed, I will start my second course and so on once I find employment. So excited to move on to the next course. What I LOVE about the first course is, the lesson videos because I can pause the video to take notes, and back if I missed anything. I know the next courses will be more exciting.

This was a great introductory course on data analytics. Since I have a bit of skill in database and spread sheet manipulation, the course made me more confident in the things I have to learn from here. What I did not like were the discussion prompts. Perhaps the threads need to be opened and closed to specific time frames or cohorts? For instance, in one of them there were thousands of posts and not much discussion. I felt they were a waist of time because I felt that whatever thought or effort I put in to the prompt, and any comments I made, I would not get in return.

Otherwise, great course. Encouraged me to keep going! Also, I really liked all the google personnel in the videos. I'm not sure if that was carefully manicured, but even if it was I don't care. I felt they all had great points and represented diverse sets of the population.

I did notice the re shoot in some spot. Tony's hair is a give away, lol. He was quite compelling, especially towards the end where he was able to go off scrip and speak to his own experiences. I really like him as an information presenter.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I really appreciate it!

Best,

Donald Brown.

The course and Lecturer performance is very good. The process of learning steps are very effective. The course structure is well organized. Sharing The google team experiences is very good idea. The videos also have small quizes that keeps you more focused on. The case studies are very well written, Easily understandable, clear. The videos have been supported with text. Exams are fairly designed based on the knowledge they provide. Also the course helps attendants to improve their presentation skills and provide tactics on how to look for jobs. Understanding skills , data analytics jobs, or similar functioned jobs are explained well. This gives good understanding to new starters. Really enjoyed the course. Even familiar with some subjects, I ve learned a lot.

Discussion forms are encouraging students to be proactive and offers help.

Broad diversity on lecturers (Google team presenters/ employess)that took part indicates that the Company is fair to its employees . Company give chances to the employees to improve themself and give opportunity on different career pathways. I would definetly join them based on their approach and organizational culture.

Fue bastante entretenido, inclusive más largo de lo que llegué a pensar, pero aún así me gustó la metodología de aprendizaje de hacer pequeños quices antes de llegar al examen final, además de que siempre te daban actividades para realizar y un pequeño resumen de lo que se supone debías haber aprendido, esto último fue lo que más me ayudó, porque guardaba estos resúmenes para poder estudiarlos y aprender con mayor facilidad. 

La introducción del curso fue diferente a lo que me esperaba, iba a un paso un tanto lento, pero me parece que para alguien que no tenga ningún conocimiento previo con el análisis de datos (pero al menos si con el uso de una computadora) es un buen comienzo. 

Iniciaré el segundo curso a sabiendas de que se irá lento, pero seguro.  Finalmente me gustaría comentar que si bien está en inglés, este curso introductorio usa un vocabulario simple, entonces es muy accesible para personas como yo que el inglés no es nuestra lengua nativa (razón por la cual escribo este comentario en español).

Tomar un curso en línea de negocios y tecnología fue una experiencia increíblemente valiosa para mí. Aprendí no solo conceptos teóricos, sino también cómo aplicarlos de forma práctica en un entorno de trabajo. Me sorprendió cómo estos cursos logran combinar conocimientos técnicos y de negocio de una manera tan accesible. Fue revelador ver cómo la tecnología, bien utilizada, puede optimizar procesos y mejorar la toma de decisiones estratégicas. Lo que más me gustó fue aprender sobre el uso de datos para respaldar decisiones empresariales. Ahora me siento más seguro para interpretar métricas y ver cómo esas decisiones impactan realmente en el negocio. Además, el curso me enseñó a pensar de manera más analítica y a ser adaptable, cualidades que creo que son clave en cualquier industria hoy en día. Definitivamente, siento que salí de este curso con una mentalidad mucho más estratégica y con herramientas prácticas que puedo aplicar directamente en mi trabajo.

Today I completed first step towards Data Analytics. Before taking this course, I spent a lot of time in Excel and SQL so as to prepare myself for this course. But contradictory to this, Till now i hardly touch Excel or SQL in the course (as per course curriculum). Because this course is created so that we can know "Why we are doing analysis?" before doing analysis. In this course I learned about Data Analysis Processes, Analytical Skills, Analytical Thinking, Data Life Cycle and much more. Among these topics, the topic which i like the most is "Ask" Phase- Where we Ask effective questions, define a problem, communicate with others. And the most challenging topic for me is Data Bias - Fair/Unfair Analysis. I found it complicated, because there is no correct way to determine Fair/Unfair analysis. Hopefully, as I continue my course, I will understand more about it. Thank You Coursera - Google Data Analytics Certificate for providing this amazing course.

It was an excellent entry into data analytics for someone who has never even explored the subject before. Learned a lot of the core foundations that go into data analytics but it didn't feel like it was holding my hand too much. They provided tonnes of resources and reading materials that not only helped during the first stage of the course, but that I know will help for later on. Excited to continue! I've tried online courses before and always ended up being bored or overwhelmed with the workload. The way this course is structured makes it so easy to jump in and out of and the lack of pressure from tutors and none of those screaming bold, red "MISSED DEADLINE" headers on your page made this a very relaxing and enjoyable course to do. I'm not one for sticking with things and completing them, but being able to jump in and out of the course any time and do whatever work whenever I wanted to do it has motiviated me to continue. Really enjoyed it!
