I think the first half of the course was amazing because I never thought of adding the smart methodology to questions however I failed to see how the last half connected to Asking Great Questions to make data-driven decisions.

This course was definitely an eye-opener as to how a course can be taught professionally, by breaking down the overall content into smaller, much easy to understand video and written modules. Congrats for such an amazing job!!

The course material was well-explained and easy to understand. I liked the way they included self reflection exercises. These allow you to really get a firm grasp of the concepts you have learned during the video tutorials.

It was a good follow-up for the last course, activities were a bit longer but that's good for learning. There were some soft skills too and I also think that's great because sometimes not everything has a technical solution.

Good introduction into important topics that one would face in the Corporate world, I would like to see more of how to deal with bosses that don't understand the timelines and that are pushy to get their asks completed.

The content was great but it made me redo the week challenges even though I had a already done them. Adding on, I have already completed everything in the Weeks but it is not giving me check marks for week 1 or week 2.

Please pay attention to this particular course, I think it is the backbone of analytics because without asking the right question, one cannot identify the problem to be solved. Thanks Google for this insightful course!
