These programs need to focus more on teaching what needs to be known instead of life stories. I find they drag out and make it discouraging to want to continue to participate, although vocabulary is great, it needs to be more showing what we will actually use in the work force such as SQL. I'm not taking an english course.

The videos are so jam packed with buzz words and 'story-time' examples that the actual learning opportunities in the course are limited. I'm aware the course those with no professional data analytics experience (like myself), but there's some things that are common knowledge and don't need to be covered in this course.

The course dealt a lot with theory, without us getting enough idea of the practice. To ask good questions one needs a better acquaintance with the material being studied. It is difficult to understand in advance what is expected further down the road. Also, the instruction of the course was a bit tedious.

A lot of the questions during the activities are nonsensical, confusing, and don't provide learning opportunities--very ironic considering the course material requires you to think about the kind of questions you ask and to be more specific about them. The contrast is pretty jarring.

I feel like the first course covered a lot of the material in this series, and the first course had for more engaging content about thinking about becoming a data analyst. I feel like this course could have went into more detail, or been more difficult, in addressing the Ask phase.

I understand that the program is for Data Analytics beginners but this course is aimed at people who have never even touched Excel or any other spreadsheet software. After spending 5 minutes watching the presenter fill in cells in a spreadsheet, I realized that this is not for me.

The last test is hard, not because the material, but the way it was written, example is the =sum question, since it was on written formula it was unreasonably strict, the answer was obvious but sometimes the grader mark my answer wrong just because i wrote it differently

Very difficult to follow along. When it comes to Google Cloud BigQuery section, the instructions could be simpler and clearer. The videos and activities are not correlated with the updated versions of Google Cloud making it extremely difficult to follow along.

Utilizan conceptos muy básicos, este curso es optimo para personas que tienen cero experiencia en reuniones, grupos, trabajo en equipo. Ex dificil seguir el ritmo de las capacitaciones de excel al mismo tiempo que la locutora. No me gustó este modulo.

Several portions of this module contains questions and assignments that aren't taught in this module anywhere, and there's no humans to ask questions. The instructor also doesn't speak clearly and module 2 isn't nearly as effective as module 1

Following this course was very difficult due to the choice of instructor. They simply weren't fit for educating nor motivating beginners. There were some pronunciation problems, speech unrealistic as in just reading from a sheet, etc.

All theory and very little technical training so far. It consists of mostly reading or watching lectures and then taking multiple choice tests. A lot of it is common sense or stuff you would probably quickly pick up on the job.

It feels like a course that should be at the end or near the end of the overrall course. i am confused by It being the second course. Ximena was lovely but this course did not need to be here or to take as long as it did.

The course is not really what its title suggests. The first half DOES focus on asking questions though too brief while the second half completely gets off the track by focusing on spreadsheet and communication skills.

Finally something technical here in the third week of the second course, where basic Google Spreadsheets was taught. Other than that, mostly filler content that puts you to sleep and forget the next day.

Curse name "Ask question to make data-driven decisions" but only talk about SMART QUESTION. The 20% of this course represent the curse, but the rest 80% is talking about introduction spreadsheet

Redundant and feels more like they are preparing you to apply at Google than becoming a Data Analyst. Very little interesting content in this course and might discourage people to continue.

Pretty basic, with very ambiguous questions. Many of which have multiple correct answers that could give the wrong idea to someone new to analytics. I would not really recommend this one.

Similar critique to the first course; extremely little hands-on work and many hours of videos drilling basic concepts that anyone who has a job before should already know.

It was very basic and I would like to immediately advance to technical aspect. I don't really have any experience, so I decided not to skip, but this was really dragging.

I loved the information, but honestly, I didn't really like Ximena. I don't like how her tone is very monotone. She is like a robot. I hope Hallie is not like this.

This course seemed to drag along without a lot of critical information. Seemed like you could watch the videos while doing something else and still pass with a 90%

I was expecting to learn more about asking questions. I found the course speaking about all aspects from asking questions to data sharing! I hoped to be focused

A bit of good info in here and a good excel refresher, but oh my god I don't need to spend multiple hours learning how to communicate in the workplace.

Not challenging, the quizzes were common sense and the topics were not in depth, rather just the same message repeated across several videos.
