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.

I really like the way the course is structured, each time a new concept gets introduced, it is reinforced through quizzes and repeated enough times throughout the course which makes it easier to retain it and incorporate it with the new information that keeps being presented.

This first course really lays the foundation for you! It's very beginner friendly and you don't need to be familiar with data science to get started. Don't fear that it will miss anything, just keep going and this course will definitely cover it. I'm excited to keep going <3

Data foundation, makes me clearly think that data with us, this starts with how our process of solving problems through analytical thinking then transforms it into available pieces as a form of data driven decision. The more fundamental, the more we know that it is important.

This course helped cement what I already knew and immediately started teaching new skills. I was surprised that in the very first course I would learn how to write SQL queries as I know this is a common skill required on job descriptions. Looking forward to the next courses.

I have learned a lot from this course. Also, what I like most is being informed to focus on your area of interest while working as a data analyst. Because, now, many business areas are starting to look at data for business progress. Thanks to Google for creating this course.

I Knew nothing about data analytics and the tools we could use. After this course i know so much more, i wish they could have exaplained about SQL a little more rather than that its best for begginers or those who want to undersatnd what data actually is. Just give it a go!

Videos and readings were very informative even if you know a good amount of the material already. Video presenter was very enthusiastic and kept the video to the point. The due dates motivated/challenged me to strive to finish before the appointed date. Overall great course.

Very well planned course. Introduced each and every topic step by step. Ensured that one understands the relationship between the previous topic and the new topic. It wraps up things by introducing aspects as to how one can use these concepts in a real-time data analyst job.

Provides the basics of data, data life cycle, data analysis etc in a simple and well structured manner. I recommend it to professionals in the field as it can be a good review, and to anyone interested in the Google Data Analytics certificate as it gives a solid foundation.

Great course to familiarize yourself with data analysis space and figure out if it's the right path for you. Definitely recommend it as a starting point and see whether you want to continue and dive deeper into the world of data or explore a different path in the IT sector.
