Very good course, giving beginners an overview of various aspects of data analysis, as well as having data analysts share their experiences, which is a great way for learners to get to know the field.

Great information but VERY misleading. Instead of showing a 5 week course load, I think it would have been more transparent to show that this is only the FIRST 5 weeks out of an eight course program.

The course was extremely well designed. It provided a well-rounded view of the role of a data analyst. I enjoyed the course very much and am looking forward to beginning course two. Tony did an outstanding job walking us through the course and sharing his life experiences and his expertise.

This is a good entry course. I already feel that I learned valuable information. The only suggest that I have is explaining the first incognito project better. Once there it did not state what was suppose to be done. I think that logging on was the lab. However, I did learn about incognito.

I would say the course is really educative and helpful. It showed me that there's more to being a data analyst than just spreadsheets, coding, and dashboards. I am glad I took the course and I believe the things I have learnt here would help me go a long way in my career as a data analyst.

i mean Fantastic, Thank you Coursera to share this with us it's a gate for making shine.

Google explain everything very simply, Confidently, Google remove the anomalies and discrepancies that were coming into my mind.

Good Job Google and Coursera it's a mighty nuance of both organizations.

The course is good and I have learned a great deal about data analysis. The only thing is that there are some very important and relatively difficult materials for new beginners that are mostly in the reading. I wish these important and difficult parts can be installed into video teaching.

My man Tony did a good job of guiding me through. Loved the examples, especially the ones with a personal touch.

And so here I go, a young lad with an internet connection from Zambia, working to be in a position to offer enough value to companies that I can work from anywhere in the world.

I am very impressed with the course structure. It is self-paced and gives options to go back on the videos which are very self-explanatory. Definitely, I would recommend this course for those who want to make a career in data or want to change career or have prior experience in this field.

He starts from the very basics and explains everything that is important for a data analyst one by one. This way, you start learning with better foundations. The instructor is very sincere and natural, and explains everything in a fluent and understandable language. I highly recommend it.

the course is really amazing, the faculty is keen on helping us learn, even though the sessions are recorded you won't actually feel it that way, the interaction level is the best part about the course. there are a lot of small quizes in betweeen the recorded sessions and they help a lot.

I have been studying Data Analysis by my own for a while and I had the feeling that I wasn't having a correct global comprehension about the entire process.

This course paints the big picture of Data Analysis and provides great foundations to build all what's come next in the courses.

I like the process of this program. I am able to retain information by studying on my own and at my own pace. Thanks for giving, us types of students, the opportunity to learn without a classroom and teacher with a chalkboard. Not all of us learn the same way. Thanks Coursera and Google.
