I just finished the 2nd Course in the Google Data Analyst course - even though I have experience in the field, this course reminded of areas that I should focus on and work to strengthen my skills in.

The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

This course was well set out, The bulk of it however doesn't cover questions to ask, it is more of a continuation of the fundamentals of data analytics.

It however is all needed information. Anybody with even slight experience in data could take the fast track.

In general, people grossly undervalue their ability to ask the proper questions. During this course, I was able to appreciate better the value of communicating effectively, understanding stakeholders' concerns and expectations, and posing the proper questions.

Excelente la forma como se aborda cada tema, y lo importante que es la comunicación en la resolución de conflictos y el trabajo en equipo, sin dejar de lado lo crucial de lo que se puede y no, al hacer una reunión con miembros del equipo o los stakeholders.

This course is really helpful, especially those who struggle with communication during your work life. Though, I think the spreadsheet was a little easy for people who have experiences beforehand. But, in general, it's worthy to accomplish this certificate!

Ecommerce sites typically use data to drive profits and sales. If you've ever shopped at Amazon you have probably received a product recommendation while visiting the Amazon website or through email. This is an example of a data-driven business decision.

A lot of this course was fundamentals, but it is always good to go back and review the fundamentals to refresh anything that you may have forgotten. The instructor of the course is funny and engaging, too, which helps with what could be mundane topics.

This course was a really good intro overview to using spreadsheets, but the most valuable part of this course was the soft skills for the workplace. Discussing how to prepare for meetings, team communication and conflict resolution was very helpful.
