Everything was expalined in away that was understanble, and smooth. While also constantly being congaudulated for my accomplishments, and by telling certain jokes that relate to what I'm learning I was able to be entertained while I learn, which always helps me learn better.

Excellent course on getting your hand on data analytics! The preparation of data is just as important as the actual analysis itself. It is nice to learn the principles and strategies for data cleansing so that the analysis can be built upon a solid, meaningful structure.

As a beginner, I would recommend this course because you gain some hands-on experience with writing basic queries, which I found both challenging and fun. After writing basic queries, it allows you to run to find what criteria you are looking for within the database.

The instructor was one of my favorites, however I had some issues with the pacing of this course. I am unsure why we were using BigQuery in week 2 when it wasn't properly introduced until later weeks. Overall the course was very informative and taught me new tricks.

It was really great, I learned to use a new software (BigQuery), it was tough to understand but I got the hang of it at the end. The best part of this course was about networking and the use of linkedin and finding a mentor. I will definitely search for a mentor.

This course prepares you really well for the next step in the learning process. Sometimes you don't realize how important things are to learn. For example, I know data should be kept safe and private but going into more detail about the process really helped.
