Due to my previous experience with data, I had earlier thought of skipping this learning and using the speed track, however, thank God I didn't. It was a good refresher and I still learnt many new things, grab new knowledge, picked up new skills and created the curiousity to learn new skills and build up knowledge on them. Thanks to Google for this!

I found the material to be engaging and really enjoy that the segments are short. The one thing I have for feedback, is that I wish I could get real instructor interaction and responses. it would be great to have the option to have dialogue with an instructor who would review my written responses and make sure that I was on track with my knowledge.

I am no good with math and numbers. But i do like researching facts and finding solutions for problems based on the facts. Asking the right questions, pinpointing a problem, thinking about what kind of facts you need to solve it. I am very excited about exploring more. The programm is very good. Step by step you learn more. If i can do it, you can!

As someone with elementary I.T. knowledge, the learning materials in the first module had provided me with a good general overview of what Data Analytic is, the different processes involved and how different software works together to convert datasets into simple to understand and yet interesting insight to the targeted audiences via Visualization.

This is the best online learning course I have ever enrolled myself into. Its so engaging and doesnt feel that I am learning just the theory. Its concept building plus understanding the practical use of these concepts in real world. I am so thankful to both Google for creating this course and Coursera for allowing us the seamless platform to learn.

it was a fun, simple course. I loved the mix of videos and reading and the fact it was bite-size learning. I was able to learn without really realizing as it was quite enjoyable work. Sometimes the wording of some questions and answers confused me, but after reviewing some questions I missed and rereading problems, I understood where I went wrong.

I love this course. I have no idea about SQL and this course has shown me the basics of SQL. The presenter Tony is very clear in his speech. I enjoyed the discussion prompts and the readings provided. For someone who loves finding out answers to problems, and you do not poses the knowledge on how to find answers using data, this course is for you.

This course is an introduction to data analysis; Therefore, it exposes in a general way the importance of data in the life of any type of organization. I thought the course was very important because it reinforces the importance of doing data analysis.

Although it is also important to mention that sometimes the evaluation questions are confusing.

This is Course 1 of the full Google Data Analytics Program. This course mainly focuses on the fundamentals and thinking process of a data analyst. All in all, this course introduces suggestions and actual input about the role of a data analyst.

This is a great beginner course. It is perfect for those who want to understand the data analyst role better and figure out if it is right for them. The real world examples and videos from Google employees helps the entire course feel connected to real meaningful work.

Hello,

This was a good entry level in understanding the Foundations. It is in fact true that we are dealing with Data all around us at all times. I have enjoyed going through Course 1 and looking forward to the next course. As a Data Analyst, it is important to stay true to the steps and understanding the life cycle of the data itself.

Let's go!

It is a course that gives a great insight into data analytics. You may find it boring at first if you are anxious about getting into the main thing, but you will be missing a whole lot if you don't go through it. The videos were very helpful and learning was simplified. It made online learning awesome. I'm looking forward to the remaining courses

I am truly hooked with data analytics. In this course, you have to read every material and do every exercises in order to apply what you have been learning. In my case, it was effective because I was able to understand the topics. It was also advised to read and participate in the discussion because you can gain great insights from other people.

This portion of the course has been very informative. I love the introduction and insight into the role of a data analyst and the steps used to gain an unbiased insight into data collected to assist with informed business decisions. There's so much more from this course that I can mention but will keep it short. I'm looking forward to the next 7!

i have known a lot about data analysis but this certification made me understand how to see problem that need to be solved. It also made me start seeing data everywhere around me. Before now, I always think of where to see datasets for analysis. But on completion of this program i am more ready to see data easily while asking neccessary question

This course really helped me. Thank you very much Google Careers. I am a beginner in this field. Now after studying this, I understand what data analysis is. What kind of work do data analysts usually do, what tools do data analysts use, and other cool subjects are in this course. Tests in each part of the lesson help me measure my understanding

I did Operations Research and Statistics for my undergrad and went on to do an MBA. Most of the interviews I have been invited for have been practical, having to analyze data using spreadsheets or SQL which I was not familiar with but this course has helped me enormously, I now have an idea of what to do when I am faced with practical interviews

Great course to explain the foundational principles of data analytics and how a data analyst mindset can be achieved. When we are new to something, we may feel overwhelmed with the amount of subjects we do not know. This course helps us to calm down and understand that with steady and right steps we can achieve our goal to become a data analyst.

Data is actually every around us...while awake and at sleep, data is being generated. The most important thing is that this data can be used for amazing things. This course has opened my eyes to the availability of data and its usefulness. Instructors are really knowledgeable about the subject matter too. Thanks to Coursera for this opportunity.
