I did not expect it to be this great! As a transitionist (academe to data science), the things I have learn here is very helpful. The course does not only talk about the subject matter (data analytics) but it also provide information on how to start and build a career in data science. This portion is usually left out in most courses as they only focus on data analytics topics.

It was a good introductory course, teaching me a data analyst's mindset and key concepts that a data analyst should know and apply to their works. I think 5 week is too long for this course, giving 2 hours a day is enough to complete it in one week. Overall, I am happy with the course and thank you for everyone involved in this for their time and effort. Keep up the good work!

Provide you good understanding on data collection and analysis. Also touch on a little bit on SQL.

The course is relatively easy for me, probably only provides 20% of new knowledge to me, as my previously work experience requires to read data and make data driven decisions. If you previous professional experience has nothing to do with data this may be helpful course to take!

This course is good in getting understand the basic and beginners concepts of Data and Data Analysis process. Everything was explained and taught very clearly and its Learning Log, Self-Reflection and Practice Quizzes helped alot in building knowledege. 5 stars for the course. Course is for beginners who do not know anything about Data Analytics and also who just know little.

The course gave me excellent insight into what Data Analysis entails, what it means to be a Data Analyst, the kind of business problems I can help solve, and the impact I can have on people's lives (which is so important!). It also gives you some great advice on how to look for your first Data Analytics job and the things to keep in mind, which I found quite helpful as well.

This course gave a broad explanation of Data Analysis and went in depth on the steps, procedures, and ethics of analizing data. For somebody like me, who never knew anything about Data Analysis and hasn't worked with databases and spreadsheets, this course helped me understand core skills I would need to learn more about various tools and steps of being a Junior Data Analyst.

A great introduction to the fundamentals of Data analytics. The course gave a basic introduction of what a data analyst is, what are the skills that an analyst would require and what are the opportunities available for a Data analyst. The course does not require any background knowledge or experience related to Programming or Analytics. A must recommended course for beginners

It was such an enriching experience for me to learn from people who are working with the most esteemed organization in the world. Coursera and Google made our lives easier by creating such a beautiful platform to learn and perform at the same time. I am so much grateful to all the people who are involved in my learning. I wish that god may fulfill all their wishes. Thank You!

This course will make you understand the basic of the data analytics and what does a data analyst do, the job responsibility and roles of an analyst in so much detail and makes it so interesting that you will become so eager to just quickly learn and grab a job in the same field. Thanks to Tony for making this understand that data analysts as a job is so interesting and cool.

As a newbie into the world of Data Analytics, through this course i have to been able to learn the concepts of Data and how it relates to our everyday life, learn how to make informed decision making, and also learn the skills of data analytics and have it at my finger tips. It has been a joyful ride and i hope and believe that the upcoming courses will be the same and more.

Completing the first course in the Google Data Analytics Professional Certification program was a fantastic experience. It offered a solid foundation in data analytics with engaging content, hands-on exercises, and practical tools like Google Sheets and Data Studio. The instructors were knowledgeable, and I feel well-prepared to continue with the program. Highly recommended!

Coursera's foundation course on data analysis helped me learn how much it means to be able able to take data-driven descisions on business/ company/ organization in this modern era where there is tons of data everywhere. I am overwhelmed that it layed a great foundation for me in the journey of becoming a data analyst. I am excited to excel further with the upcoming courses.

As someone with little to no prior knowledge of data analysis, this course was amazing. It was incredibly thought out and easy to understand. When certain processes' were being explained and when they "clicked" for me in my head I got a sense of excitement I haven't had in a long time. I'm overwhelmingly eager to continue on and acquire gainful employment as a data analyst.

Great work, the courses were clear and concise. The quizzes were right on point and not too overwhelming. The length of the videos was on point. If I had to say something negative, I would just point out that sometimes it can take a considerable time to answer the questions, however, it is by taking the time that we learn. Thanks a lot, Tony and the Google Team. Georges HENG

Good for an introduction. Many terms and steps are very subjective; they give a good structure for those who have never done any data analysis and could fill in gaps if you work differently—overall good course, clear and easy to understand. If you are already familiar with data analysis, you can very easily do all quizzes. Some might require to double-check a lecture or two.

Me pareció un curso muy completo en cuanto al aspecto introductorio del análisis de datos, a la par de didáctico. El instructor habla desde su experiencia y comparte información relevante.

I found the course to be very complete in terms of the introductory aspect of data analysis, as well as didactic. The instructor speaks from his experience and shares relevant information.

This was such a fun, engaging program. I would highly reccomend tis to anyone considering becoming a data analyst. I was very impressed with the resources available and the structure of the learning. Tony was well spoken and passionate. Thank you for allowing this program to be an option. I am finishing this course with self confidence and pride.

Gratefully,

This course has provide me with the fundamental knowledge needed to start digging deeper in this field. I recommend that while learning, you should use these new concept to relate to your everyday life and start thinking critically whenever facing a difficult problem. However, this course alone won't be enough so you should go through the entire program to better yourself.

Its a great course, it also encourages you on completing every course on the way of completing the course, which is very essential, and the Test and Quiz and the Hands ON experience Decision Prompts, they are the real deal, they help you to pen down or write down all the important concepts with the help of a given scenario, which helps to remember the concepts much easily.

I must say, it starts at the very basics and they take their time in teaching you the foundations which was very insightful. As a beginner to Data analysis ,it is made easier to understand what and how it works. I took my time in understanding everything i could since this is the basics to what a data is and i suggest you do not rush this if you are just start out as well.

I believe this course is designed for beginners. One notable aspect is that it is taught by Google employees, which I find to be an excellent approach. Google's decision to have its own employees as instructors adds significant value to the course. The expertise and real-world experience they bring to the table contribute to a high-quality learning experience . keep it up

I would like to thank Google, for allowing me to access this course and get an understanding of what is Data and Data Analytics. This course has proved to me the importance of Data Analytics and motivated me to choose my future career goals. The course was clear and informative, which allows you to understand easily, what you need to start in the field of Data Analytics.

This is what i was looking for, a strong foundational building of what the overall program was going to be about and some really insights into why Data Analysis is important. It also starts off in a way that allows someone completely knew, or thinking about getting into this field, a view into what its all about and helps them discover is this is the right path for them.
