Videos are too short and the explanation is not extensive. Also the study material offers little explanation. Need references to the outside resources to understand the concepts more precisely. In the communication section , a book can be recommended to hone the communication skills. Not everyone can communicate by just watching a video.

Too much time spent on soft skills. How to write an email? How to pay attention in a meeting? If this is going to be offered, it should be optional. The highlight was a good intro to spreadsheets. It was basic enough for someone completely new to them but I have been using them for a years and still learned some new things.

Ximena is fine but I found it more difficult to learn from her than from Tony. I am also super mad that resetting my deadlines meant that 2 quizzes I had already taken had to be repeated all over again. Get it right, Coursera. Now you will not let me keep going to Course 3 and I am losing my patience. Why is this so hard?

I am thankful for this course, but I find it much more difficult with the previous one. Also, the instructor is not that good when explaining. I find most of the terms aren't that included in every slide or video presentation. This is a more of analyzing lessons. The quiz are also harder than the usual and more tricky.

like previous course at times hard to navigate. the side by side remote desk top project did not work correctly

also at the conclusion of the last course all the information to share your credential via linked in etc was clearly provided. this certificate only provides the link. it should be consistent across courses

This one was hard to get through. I powered through just to get it over with. Not sure if it was because I already knew most of this topic, or if it was the way it was taught. Too many questions were "come up with your own idea" so if you're struggling, its hard to know if you're grasping it.

Both this course and the first one of this series are very dumbed down for lack of better words. A lot of it seems like busywork. I think it's good to try to get the students to interact through several activities, but honestly, there isn't too much useful information being presented in them.

The course was as good as others but someone that has been working professionally for years it felt unnecessary. For someone that is new to work environments I can definitely see the need. Maybe there could be a third option for certification students to skip the work professional steps.

Very little information about asking questions. Many lessons are not relevant. Not suitable for people who have working experience. It's more like a soft skill class in high school. If you've started to work, you don't have that much time to spend on these soft skills and theory videos.

Course was fine, but all of my progress got wiped when I took a few weeks off from working on the course. I had done weeks 1-3 and had to go back through it again, including all assignments. Could not get in touch with Coursera about the issue. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Appreciate the details of course. However, this course may include many repetitive illustration of the concept from Course 1 and 2 e.g. ASK, PREPARE, PROCESS, ANALYSE, SHARE, ACT from different instructors in different videos. It will be good to combine them into a single video instead

This part of the course felt like it had a lot of filler. Some of it would be better suited at the end of the course when you want people to begin focusing on how to interact with businesses and collogues. I think the info was valuable but out of place. it felt like it slowed me down.

Generally the content of the course is great and the explanations are very good. I personally however would like to do more in-depth analysis like the course challenge throughout the course instead of the multiple choice, because I believe it will strengthen the knowledge much more.

Some of the questions in the test are just propagating an agenda like an anti feminist can be triggered after the whole test and can not give the test peacefully. my suggestion would be don't use social or political ideologies to be in the course as some people may get triggered.

This course felt a bit redundant In Its video Information. The videos were short but they seem to repeat themself with the briefing and the expectations of the course. I would like to spend more like practicing the application process and less time writing summering situations.

Very easy with some questions being more common sense based than actually reading and watching the tutorials. Also 3 attempts every 24 hours is rather generous, as it's virtually impossible to get one of 8 questions wrong after three goes. He says, for little does he know...

I loved the foundations course and felt like I learnt a lot. However, this course was a bit of a letdown for me since I haven't learned as many new things as I did in course 1. Ximena is a good instructor but with better material or scope, the course would be much better.

Great, I can't imagine a perfect course rather than this. I really loved this course because this course let me feel like a professional data analyst. Not just theories, but also gave a ton of communication and real life situation practices. My Advice, TAKE THIS COURSE!

There were two hands-on project where I was asked to come up with questions on my own, and left me paralyzed with what situation, or company I would be working with before asking the kind of questions relevant to the company/situation. Everything else was great.

There was so many videos; it get mundane. I like the hands-on approach and less vids. I have a hard time becoming a data analysist when I dont know how to actually do the work. This seems like a course for people that already know how to analyze data.

The Instructor was easy to understand but the content was all over the place. Spreadsheets were fun but beside that it was a serious struggle to stay focused and motivated, my mind kept drifting. Where as week 4 seriously felt like physical torture.

Ximena is an excellent instructor but I feel that there was a lot of non-technical content compared to the technical part. At some point in the course I started to feel like I was taking a communications course and not a 'data analytics' course.

Overall pretty good. However, some parts were unnecessarily stretched and repeting very simple and boring info. The best parts were in the beginning where they talked about actual tools and spreadsheets and taught us things related to them.

I know the big selling point for this program is being able to complete it regardless of one's background, but at times this course felt overly simplistic. Going into such detail on such fundamental skills felt a little drawn out for me.

Definitely tougher than the last course. Too many times there were quiz questions with answer choices using terms we hadn't learned yet. Very nerve-racking when you are new to a subject. Overall I was satisfied with what I learned.
