The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

Im already in Course "Prepare for Data exploration" Course 3 in Coursera from Google Professional Certificate for Data Analysis.

And Coursera erased already Course 1 from my record, although I already have my certificate from Data Data Aspects Everywhere. Kind of weird, right? It says have just completed only one course which is "Ask Questions to Make Data-Driven Decisions" When Im Actually already completed 2 out of 8 and Im already in the 3/ 8

Since we pay for the course a Monthly amount, I just want to let people know this is not correct

Second course finished and I still haven't learned anything, despite passing with flying colors. And yes, I am very much a "beginner" so according to the course description this is the right place for me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that 99% of the course content is made up of videos showing nothing but the speakers' faces and almost no time actually interacting with anything meaningful. Feels more like those cheap training videos you are forced to sit through at a new job than anything else.

Like course 1 this was filled with readings, multiple useless videos 95% mostly all NON hands on. I was excited to finally start spreadsheet basics with functions and formulas but after the quick weekly lesson that stopped and there was a week of basic information, non data relevant, such as how to write good emails, etc. I quickly lost my steam for continuing. I will see how course 3 goes but I am ready to unsusscribe from this DA course. Too much wasted time.

I believe that all of the content for this could have been summed up in less than an hour. There is so much "fluff" it feels like they are saying the same thing 10-20 times over. It is difficult to stay watching, and you can easily pass all the quizzes on common sense alone without watching any of the videos. Nothing here really teaches you any work experience.

I was very excited by this speicialisation but I am currently very disapointed. I don't understand why it was spread in so many courses with very little material to learn in between courses. The videos are very short with tons of weird reading materials in between and multiple choice quizes. I really wanted and advanced and practical course.

It's either the instructor were not clear or this course was not written in a oragainzed way. It's almost painful to watch the course videos. The material was very superfical. Also, please stop recommending StackFlow.com. It's almost impossible to ask a question there without being criticized by some of stupid members and the website!!

I'm encountering a challenge with submitting my Module 1 assessment for the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate on Coursera. Despite having applied for financial aid, the platform prompts me to upgrade in order to proceed. I'm seeking assistance in resolving this matter promptly to ensure seamless progress in the course.

The title of the course did not match what was taught in the course. After the first course filled with foundational material, I was hoping for something in depth but there was none to be found. Once again, there was too much focus of jargon that one would need after they have already become a data analyst.

In the videos with instructor Ximena, her shirt was too small and I could see her breasts. That made me feel extremely uncomfortable and on edge the entire time I had to complete this course. It's shocking to me that a Google sponsored course would allow something like this.

It was very difficult to complete this course. No. it is not difficult. It is BORING . They explain basic things over and over again. Repeating them twice and more. A brief introduction would be enough! People need PRACTICAL stuff, not theoretical.

"I requested to have access to this course for free, and you agreed. Now, it's asking me to enter credit card or bank account information. I'm a recent immigrant and don't have a bank account or credit card yet. Please help me."

The course is good but the way Coursera counts minutes of Quiz is pathetic. It didn't bother to stop the time when I paused it due to an urgent errand and failed me in the course Quiz. Please improve the interface.

Well, a 30-minute YouTube video will teach you way more than any of the content in this course. I suggest skipping these courses and heading towards YouTube if you really want to learn data analytics.

A bunch of employees reading a script full of jargon, trying to make you believe that you have become a data analyst Complete Waste of time, Just talk without any practical application

Continues the same trend as the previous module of too much talking and little useful information. Honestly this specialization should probably be targeted for high school students

Really crappy. After I completed all lessons and quizzes that took me weeks, it delete my grades as if I never did anything. On top, unreachable customer service.

I completed all requirements and paid in full, but I cannot download a certificate nor post this course on LinkedIn, as was promised to me when I registered.

ROI in this course very low. Only basic excel function like min, max, sum, average, and a lot of common sense stuff what to do and what not to do...

How about improving by adding your introductionary courses to the other courses' inside, spreading is so appriciable? Thank you for reading my post.

It might be pretty decent but after 180 after purchase it locks you out, without warning. I wish it told you that somewhere.

This course does not teach data analytics (how to add value with data analysis). It teaches tools used in data analytics.
