Solid "big picture" refresher course before getting into the more technical stuff I'm sure down the road, even for folks with backgrounds in math and science but haven't used it years (okay, decades).

I loved the course and I have learned a lot. The content is good along with the explanations in the video. However, I think there could have been more problems to use SQL and formulas and functions in the final course challenge. But, overall great experience.

To me this course is filled with inspiration, rather than with knowledge or skills. It is focused on getting you interested in the world of data analysis, and I feel it is targeted to young graduates, not to people with even just a few years of professional experience, wanting to learn something new to advance their current careers. Many of the videos got me frustrated by the amount of pep talk, which made me feel like I am being manipulated or at least not taken seriously.
The course provides opportunities to test yourself, to repeat and reflect on the material, which is helpful. I missed more opportunities for practical excercises.
Overall I think it may be good for people who are hesitating and do not know, if data analysis is something for them. It is a waste of time, for the ones who are actually looking for some practical knowledge.

Some of the questions were odd or I believe them to be incorrect. One of the final exam questions used 04000 as a zip code but the leading zero should probably be requested as text for '04000' in the where statement but this was counted as incorrect. Question 6 in one of the weeks asked what SELECT * did. it says it selects all of the data from the table but that isn't quite correct, it selects all features of the data but a where clause would limit the data as well, so saying select * selects all of the data is misleading.

One day of material spread over a suggested 5 weeks. Most of the material can be cut or moved to another course about general computer and professions skills. Is it a coincidence that they offer 14-day free trial but don't teach anything for the first 5 weeks? Finally, parts of the course seem politically motivated, like classifying all data a "fact". Instead, they should focus on teaching the material and leave their personal politics at home.

Well presented but often a game of guess the appropriate corporate jargon than come to grips with concepts.

I would not recommend this course to anyone. This course is designed for a specific type of person, with a specific type of rote memorization and recitation learning style. By taking this course, you can pretend to understand data by learning the lingo and following the steps. A bit horrifying to see, but illuminating as to how the world has gone so wrong. Honest review from a real person with decades of expert hands-on real-world professional data experience in the manufacturing industry.

Overall, I found the "Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" Google Coursera course to be an excellent learning resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of working with data. Here are my feedback and suggestions:
1. Comprehensive Content: The course provides a comprehensive overview of various data-related concepts, including data types, data storage, data cleaning, data analysis, and data visualization. The content is well-structured, with clear explanations and examples, making it easy to grasp even for beginners.
2. Practical Approach: I appreciate the emphasis on hands-on exercises and practical applications throughout the course. The use of real-world datasets and the integration of Google tools like Google Sheets and Google Data Studio were particularly valuable in reinforcing the concepts learned and bridging the gap between theory and practice.
3. Engaging Instructors: The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, delivering the course material in a clear and engaging manner. They demonstrated a good balance between providing theoretical explanations and practical demonstrations, making the learning experience enjoyable.
4. Well-Designed Assignments: The assignments were well-designed, allowing learners to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios. The feedback provided by the instructors on the assignments was helpful in identifying areas for improvement and reinforcing learning.
5. Additional Resources: The course provided additional resources, such as supplementary readings and external references, which were valuable for those who wanted to explore the topics further. These resources complemented the course material and enriched the learning experience.
6. Course Duration: The course was well-paced, and the duration was appropriate for covering the foundational concepts of data. However, in some instances, certain topics could have been expanded upon to provide a more in-depth understanding.
7. Community and Discussion Forums: The course could benefit from a more active and engaged community and discussion forums. Encouraging learners to interact and share their insights or challenges could enhance the collaborative learning experience and provide opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.
8. Practical Examples: While the course included practical examples, incorporating more diverse and industry-specific use cases would further enhance the course's relevance and applicability to different domains and professional settings.
9. Certification: Offering a certification option upon course completion would be beneficial for learners who want to showcase their newly acquired skills and knowledge to potential employers or clients.
Overall, "Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" is a highly informative and practical course for beginners seeking to develop a solid foundation in data-related concepts. With a few minor enhancements, such as expanding certain topics and fostering a more interactive learning community, this course has the potential to become even more impactful and valuable to learners.

As someone who is already a data analyst and wants to go back to learn the basics (I learned data analysis as a necessity of my work, not intentionally), I found this course highly useful. It can be a bit repetitive at times, but it does not take that long to get through all the course content. In contrast, I value being drilled repeatedly on all the steps, especially on the 'thinking '-related ones. I think it is very valuable to be reminded to always take a step back and consider the data and steps from different angles. Those that just want to get to the technical bit will probably not find this course as useful though.
