A very structured course to give basic and useful insight to the world of data analysis. From zero, one absorbs the possible levels of details and requirements to get into the world of data analysis.

Great course to get the overall idea about what analytics is, where will it be used, various tools. Best part of this course is it has real life data analysts sharing their view points.

It was a good introduction to Data Analytics. The only downside was that the recorded videos were to fast for an amateur like me that was not conversant with the foundational concepts.

The design of the course is very interactive and a person without any knowledge specific to Data Analytics can understand and execute the program effectively. Thank you IBM & Cousera!

I thought the course was effective at introducing data analytics. The quiz questions didn't always seem to represent what I considered to be the main ideas presented in each chapter.

Although it was mentioned that this course is for beginner. You'll still be needing some prior knowledge of the topics. Overall every part of the course is helpful and informative.

That was an excellent overview of the topic. This is the second introductory course I have taken on this topic. Coursera's course was far superior in depth and breadth. Thank you!

it was an interesting course. however, i think there should be a summary document after each section which the learners could access offline for further reading and references.

I found it basic course regarding the introduction to Data Analytics. But the information it cover is very helpful and give a brief introduction to the field of Data Analytics.

Very good introduction materials, however I would expect at least some practical exercises, for example: analysis of some .csv file to get some valuable information out of that

Everything ok. However, I find these videos based in the experts opinions less instructive and effective than a one teacher planned and previously prepared class. Tnak you

Overall a good course teaching the broad strokes of data analytics.

My only issue is in the videos they pronounce SQL incorrectly. They say S-Q-L when it's pronounced sequel.

Great course overall! Easy to follow, packed with useful information. Can be a bit repetitive and monotone; however, I would still absolutely recommend taking this course.

The course was clear and very much an introduction. My grade for the peer review was a bit unfair as my answers were correct but they did not give me the points I deserved.

Me encantó la parte dónde los profesionales en Data Analysis contaban sus experiencias y consejos. Me gustarían que mejoraran la dinámica de los videos, son muy aburridos.

I really enjoy your course while study, I have just one suggestion that please use normal English in video so who is from non-English background they can easily catch you.

It was a great course for any beginner out there. I was able to get familiar with the basics of data analytics. However, more case studies could give an even better idea.

Como dice el título del curso: es una introducción. En varios lugares los subtítulos de los videos no son del todo exactos. Le faltaría algo de actividad práctica.

The text script had many spelling errors. I'm not of fan of peer review as we are all learners. Other than that. I enjoyed the course. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Una introducción muy completa en lo que a Análisis de datos se refiere, si bien no se profundiza en temas técnicos, si se otorga una visión general bastante útil.
