This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

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).

This course is amazing. I have no idea about whether I like playing a role as a data analyst or not, but this course, especially, Tony and the professors gave me an insight into this job.

Fantastic! As a complete beginner I love how they really broke things down to make sure we fully understood what Data Analytics is, how it's important everywhere and the roles analysts can take. Their approach gives you, as a newbie, confidence that you might be able to learn and fully grasp this new skill set

I was surprised by the larger focus on soft skills in the course, but quickly realized that the field of analytics is not limited to queries, coding and visualization. It turned out to be a nice balance and refreshing to write regularly my thoughts in a journal, complementing the more technical tasks required.

Everything is just amazing so far. I've learned and I'm still learning a lot when I watch these well-produced videos or read the provided reading materials. I even learn a lot through these quizzes, whether I get it from the first time or for the n-th time. The course is so good for real! Thank you, Google!

This elementary course is a great foundation, especially to those who want to start or shift their career to data analytics field. The more interesting thing about this course it is not just covering the theoretical aspects but also instructs about how you will do in practical life as a data analyst as well.

Wonderful course, it covers all aspects of a Data analysis career. All real-life examples help to understand the concept better. The teaching method doesn't feel like watching a recorded video instead it feels like attending a live session. Great work Google team. Thank you, Coursera for such a nice course.

I am so grateful for having a chance to learn more into Data Analytics through this beginner course! It gave me the idea that I have already been doing Data Analytics in my previous works, yet i didn't know that that was Data Analytics. Plus, this beginner course gave me more things to learn and understand.

The course was made very to understand at the same time it is informative. When getting wrong answers, it tells you why your answer was wrong and it explains it fully why it was wrong and it helps you think on your own what the right answer should be making it easier for you to understand the topic better.

I'm completely new to the world of Data Analytics and I really appreciate the way this course is structured. Learning is easy and with plenty of real life examples. Videos and readings are also easy to understand. Even though, if you really want to take full advantage of it, I fully recommend taking notes.

I feel very exciting and rewarding after completing this course. They have tutored me so well, like a mentor. They have paid attention to every minute thing that must be taken care of while preparing a student for the specialization of this course right from scratch. Thank You. Keep englighting me, please.

I really liked this course very much as I didn't have much much idea about data analyst. I learned the basic steps that are required to keep in mind while working as a data analyst in any field. The 5 whys, and 6 basic steps and the data driven decision skill that I learnt in this course is very important.
