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).

Awesome class. Found out why I'm always analytical about things in my personal life and the critical thinking that this provides. I love it and hopefully this will help me land my dream job at Google!

Good overview of whats about to come in the course. I liked the idea of reverting back to the overall goal of getting a job right after the technical dive into SQL and Visualizations. My one complaint is that when the SQL and coding comes into play heavily in the courses, it would be great to download the notes. Instead, i downloaded the example pictures and retyped them into my notes

It's an awesome course that tells all the minute differences and importaces of various aspects from analytics to analysis and differences between a data analyst and data scientists, importance of asking questions, processing of data, ethically using data, importance of subject matter experts, destroying data and much more, great course if you are into data or getting started with data.

This course is a great intro to data analytics skill. It introduces tools such as spreadsheets and SQL. The course is very comprehensive and encourages you to learn things on your own, like building the habit of creating your own journal and polish your analytical skills. Getting the certificate is easy but it's more important spend some time to do all the homework to gain the skills.

An excellent refresher for some topics for me and at the same I learned new things, as well. I like the combination of videos, readings, and additional reading resource materials. Quizzes and challenges are a great way to review and think about what I have learned. It is also good that you explain why the answer is correct or wrong. Looking forward to proceeding to the next course.

Very well designed and well structured course. The course used reinforcement learning technique by repeating the most important concept of this course. The most important concept of this course was to understand the six phases of data analysis. These phases in chronological order are Ask, Prepare, Process, Analyze, Share, and Act. See I Remember these which mean the course is awesome.

La voy a escribir en español por si alguien que hable mi idioma vé esto.

Tremendo curso ! por lo menos en primera instancia me mantiene entretenido, ademas que los videos grabados entregan casos reales y ejemplos aplicables a la realidad, eso sin duda ayuda a mantenerse activo y a seguir aprendiendo.

Para los aún siguen aprendiendo ingles como yo.. es "reach two target with one shoot".

I enjoyed this course. I am new to data analytics but very familiar with excel sheets, databases, and SQL so it was pretty quick and easy for me to get through. I especially enjoyed the information on the different types of analytics jobs and the insights into how to interview. I am hoping that through this I can get more hands on with what day to day life is like for a data analyst.

I am extremely amazed how elaborative this course was. It was one of the best online learning experience for me. There is so much covered in this course but it was all so subtle that you do not feel like you are bieng pushed to move forward. Infact, it was made so interesting that you keep moving with the flow, all the while effectively absorbing everything. Great Job team Google.

Finally, I'd like to express my gratitude to all of the teachers who contributed to this resource. This is the most comprehensive data analytics course I've ever taken. While getting the correct answer after a quiz is fantastic, it would be even better if the following line included a link to the information, when answer is incorrect, as some of the answers were difficult to find.

This course was one of the best experiences in my life because I learned a lot from it. I didn't have enough information about Data analytics but I wanted to learn this skill. After starting this course, Data analytics changed to my passion and now I want to work full-time as a Data analyst and the reason behind it, is the motivation and knowledge that I gained from this course.

I could not believe how important this course has been. It was more than just a refresher of the basics but helped me building the mindset of how data is been viewed by analysts and the stories of different people of how they viewed data in life ignited my passion for data analysis. It has been the right decision to opt for this course and is more than what I initially expected.

The information in this course is very thorough. This is my first time learning about data analyst and everything in the course is written or shared in a way that helps with understanding all the important processes and terms in this field. Also, having reflection writings and completing different exercises related to data analyst really helps you to experience it hands on.
