It was my 1st course on Coursera. It surprized me. It is online cousre prepared by google and delivered by coursera. Both companies made this course as easy as ABC. I never imagined that anyone can teach as they have done. I completed this course in a week taking this course in part time. This will not only help you to become data analyst but also encourage and motivate you. This course increased my interest in data analytics field.

I learned a wealth of information. I enjoyed the instructor, he was very inspirational. The course constantly reviews the information which allowed me to secure what I learned in my memory. Although this first course gave me plenty of opportunities to utilize what was taught, I still have a lot of review to do independently to ensure that I can apply what I have learned. I am so grateful for how this instruction is being rendered.

This course was very informative. It was very helpful to understand the basic understanding of data and how it works. Also to show how important data analysis is and that it is important in all aspects of work. There are so many ways to use data analysis and you can implement it into any work that really interests you. I feel like I truly understand the foreground of data analysis and can continue to build my skills and knowledge.

Nice and interesting course. for the first stage it's about strengthening understanding first, and I think this is the most important and basic thing before learning more skill tools. besides that, apart from the video, below there is a description of everything that was discussed in the video, this really helped me in understanding. for videos, questions or quizzes are very balanced, so that the material studied sticks in my mind

I was happy to learn that Data truly is all around and more is easily compiled and begins to be understood with every new question asked. Better understanding the structure of the breakdown of the process and the various cycles of data and understanding it helps one to feel they can grow to learn more difficult pieces. Thankfully the difficulty seems that it lies only in understanding more of the stair stepping aspects as you go.

Google gave a new opportunity to the world for becoming a data analyst and this is one of the best courses. They explain in very simple language that anyone can understand the concept and learn accurately. The timeline is the best part. All learners have to follow the timeline so they are on the right track of learning and complete the course on the scheduled time.

Thank you google

Thank you google for everything. Thanks a lot.

El curso dice claramente que es de nivel principiante, pero es muy efectiva la manera en que se presenta la información y en como estratégicamente utilizan los cuestionarios para lograr que nosotros los estudiantes retengamos los aprendizajes, además de permitirnos repasar los conceptos a través de los glosarios proveídos. Realmente he aprendido y también he fortalecido mi interés por querer saber mas acerca del análisis de datos.

The course has been structured brillantly! It couldn't get better to start-off as a novice in the data analytics field than to start with this certification course. Tony has been amonsgt the best instructor I have ever come across. His way of conveying information keeps the student engaged, and the clarity with which he delivers modules is simply outstanding!

Kudos to the team at Google for bringing up this certification program!

It is a very educative and explanatory course on data analysis and the steps in data analysis. It also provides notable examples of real-life situations, that definitely help you understand the topic being discussed. The Quizzes and assessment also help you practice and retain the knowledge acquired. Overall, it is a great introductory course to data, and the data analysis process. I truly can't wait to see what lies ahead of me.

This foundational course has given me an overview of the responsibilities of a data analyst. It has given a sense of direction for the purpose of specializing in an area or sector. Spreadsheet, data cleansing, data analysis, data visualization, and SQL are the skills I've learned. I intend to delve further into these skills and build on the acquired knowledge that this program has offered me. I'm excited about the journey ahead.

I honestly thought I would hate having them talk about Data Analytics so generally. However, I really appreciated the way they discussed what Data Analytics was, how its different than data science, and discussed all the ways in which it is being applied throughout industry. I also really enjoy how they teach you how to "think" like a data analyst as well. Really valuable stuff and lots of diverse staff (another + in my book).

As a beginner in the Data Analytics field, this course was very simple. Simple in the way where, if you know NOTHING about data analytics, you will be okay! I was super nervous but each week was mapped out with videos, readings, testimonies from Googlers, and interactive activities that help you really understand the information. I would recommend this course if anyone is interested in diving into the world of data analytics.

When I started the course I did not know anything about what a data analyst do, I finished the course with more knowledge, more structured. The course was well conducted, it is very technical, but it is accessible, it is easy to follow, it gives the foundations to be a data analyst. The well-selected instructor explains and develops his program very well, I am excited to follow him. In general terms I liked the basic course.

Some of the terms are confusing because it seems like they're defined ambiguously in some cases, and then a bit differently in another area that has made it harder to know the exact answer. I really liked Tony, and the other people in the videos. At first I wanted to speed through them because I thought it was wasting time, but I realized they do quickly tie it to a topic. I feel like it was a very good introductory course!

This course gives you a glimpse of the DATA Analyst World. It will clarify all the doubts that we have about the term "DATA SCIENCE". It will show how we do data analysis in everyday life and what is the power of data in solving both micro and macro challanges in both personal and professional life.

This course shows you how to step into the data science world and use the unlimited power of DATA to see the future potentials.

The best course that I had passed. The course is introduction to Data Analyst specialization, but it provides the big-picture vision, full description with a lot practical examples, and without redundant theory. Of course, the technical tools, the notifications to email, the file templates to hands-on assignments, the video lessons and presentation are wonderful, useful and comfortable. I feel that I spent my time the best.

I really loved the way this course provided an overall view of where I could go and what I could do after completing the entire course. I think it is very important to help set vision and goals from the beginning to give online learners the ability to push through challenging times. Excited to see where I can put this information to use in my current life and what future opportunities it may bring as I enhance my skills.

The course content was excellent and focused on the basics, the foundation of any learning path. The quizzes and case studies were also good in level as they compelled me into thinking of different scenarios. However, I wish there could have been more business case studies in the assignments.

Thanks to all the Googlers who took the extra responsibility to make their knowledge and learnings reach out to the other learners.

I liked the way the content was presented for this course; it was very engaging, with varied mediums and approaches to getting the students engaged (there was a forum, written responses, multiple choice quizzes, the option to "like" and "dislike" content, etc.). I wished there were a few more videos and maybe some more animated visualizations though; I think the videos and tutorials really help to let the concepts sink in.

This course is a great way to understand what data analysts is. They help you understand basic knowledge what you need to know in data analyst world. They'll guide you step by step that you don't need any understanding about what you should know if you want to jump in this job field. As someone that take IBM data analyst course too, I recommend you to take this course instead (if you have zero knowledge about this field).
