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.

i love the course as it helped me understand the importance of asking the right questions, understanding the problem and expectations of stakeholders and impotance and the right way of communicatilon.

Overall, this was a very informative course. The presenter was clear and easy to understand. The reason for the 3 star rating is the final 2 weeks of the course. While week 1 and week 2 were easy to digest, by the time you completed weeks 3 and 4, the information from the previous 2 weeks seemed so distant. I would recommend downsizing the sheets sections so the course as a whole is easier to retain long term.

I had really high hopes for this course, but from what was covered, I have definately already had experience with asking questions, how to write emails, and how to get along with co-workers so this felt very out of place in a data analysis course, I understand those skills are imperative to being on any team, but I don't think they should have been included specifically in Google's data analysis program

There are many good things going on with the course, and I believe it covers important topics. That being said, I am a bit disappointed. This is a Data Analytics Course, so I was hoping for more practical lessons. I want to actually learn how to use the various software. While I already am familiar with R and Excel, I wanted to further my knowledge. Until now, we covered things that are far too basic.

The parts where spreadsheets were explained were too basic and the pace was too slow and boring. Meanwhile, the parts wherein SQL was discussed were rushed compared to the pacing of the spreadsheet explanation. Making it difficult to actually learn the basics of SQL. I did not like that they did not edit the instructions in the guided assignments to align with the updated BigQuery interface.

I think this is a great course and does a wonderful job at breaking things down for all learners. The issue I do not like is that it seems this was rushed to fit the times of the pandemic. Videos state they are a certain length then they get cut off before the ending and when it comes to quick labs you are not able to see the full layout making it hard to read the words written.

Ehh, this course went a lot differently than I expected. There was a lot of information from the first course and it seemed redundant. I thought we would be focusing more on asking the right types of questions and how to do so. Yet, I felt that we did that only in the beginning and the end and the middle was working with formulas and functions which threw me off completely.

I lose interest since the module 3 spreadsheets. Middle school students might find it interesting. I am really bored and wishing to finish this course very much. I don't find any value in that. I lose interest. Real world examples are good but too much examples just confuses people. We all have our own background and sometimes the examples make me confused.

Clear and concise, as always coming from Google. Besides that, I would've liked more information and activities concerning spreadsheets and their use and less focus on workplace norms (albeit their importance, they don't convey their relevancy at this stage in the learning process). Really liked the exam, it put the information learned into good practice.

Información importante aunque muy básica... Hay mucho que rescatar en cuestión de conceptos y procesos, sin embargo la parte práctica (google spreadsheets) está destinada para alguien que nunca ha trabajado con hojas de cálculo y desconoce su funcionamiento. La parte correspondiente a la comunicación con el equipo también resulto bastante obvia.

Videos are too short and the explanation is not extensive. Also the study material offers little explanation. Need references to the outside resources to understand the concepts more precisely. In the communication section , a book can be recommended to hone the communication skills. Not everyone can communicate by just watching a video.

Too much time spent on soft skills. How to write an email? How to pay attention in a meeting? If this is going to be offered, it should be optional. The highlight was a good intro to spreadsheets. It was basic enough for someone completely new to them but I have been using them for a years and still learned some new things.

Ximena is fine but I found it more difficult to learn from her than from Tony. I am also super mad that resetting my deadlines meant that 2 quizzes I had already taken had to be repeated all over again. Get it right, Coursera. Now you will not let me keep going to Course 3 and I am losing my patience. Why is this so hard?

I am thankful for this course, but I find it much more difficult with the previous one. Also, the instructor is not that good when explaining. I find most of the terms aren't that included in every slide or video presentation. This is a more of analyzing lessons. The quiz are also harder than the usual and more tricky.

like previous course at times hard to navigate. the side by side remote desk top project did not work correctly
also at the conclusion of the last course all the information to share your credential via linked in etc was clearly provided. this certificate only provides the link. it should be consistent across courses

This one was hard to get through. I powered through just to get it over with. Not sure if it was because I already knew most of this topic, or if it was the way it was taught. Too many questions were "come up with your own idea" so if you're struggling, its hard to know if you're grasping it.

Both this course and the first one of this series are very dumbed down for lack of better words. A lot of it seems like busywork. I think it's good to try to get the students to interact through several activities, but honestly, there isn't too much useful information being presented in them.

The course was as good as others but someone that has been working professionally for years it felt unnecessary. For someone that is new to work environments I can definitely see the need. Maybe there could be a third option for certification students to skip the work professional steps.

Very little information about asking questions. Many lessons are not relevant. Not suitable for people who have working experience. It's more like a soft skill class in high school. If you've started to work, you don't have that much time to spend on these soft skills and theory videos.

Course was fine, but all of my progress got wiped when I took a few weeks off from working on the course. I had done weeks 1-3 and had to go back through it again, including all assignments. Could not get in touch with Coursera about the issue. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Appreciate the details of course. However, this course may include many repetitive illustration of the concept from Course 1 and 2 e.g. ASK, PREPARE, PROCESS, ANALYSE, SHARE, ACT from different instructors in different videos. It will be good to combine them into a single video instead

This part of the course felt like it had a lot of filler. Some of it would be better suited at the end of the course when you want people to begin focusing on how to interact with businesses and collogues. I think the info was valuable but out of place. it felt like it slowed me down.

Generally the content of the course is great and the explanations are very good. I personally however would like to do more in-depth analysis like the course challenge throughout the course instead of the multiple choice, because I believe it will strengthen the knowledge much more.

Some of the questions in the test are just propagating an agenda like an anti feminist can be triggered after the whole test and can not give the test peacefully. my suggestion would be don't use social or political ideologies to be in the course as some people may get triggered.

This course felt a bit redundant In Its video Information. The videos were short but they seem to repeat themself with the briefing and the expectations of the course. I would like to spend more like practicing the application process and less time writing summering situations.

Very easy with some questions being more common sense based than actually reading and watching the tutorials. Also 3 attempts every 24 hours is rather generous, as it's virtually impossible to get one of 8 questions wrong after three goes. He says, for little does he know...
