This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

The only thing I would change would be to go over more types of charts and their meanings. With examples as well. I believe the visualization and cleaning data phases were the only ones I think could have went into more detail.

Great course so far. My only regret was I didn't start a year ago when I first discovered it. Week 3 is when I finally understood what Data Analytics truly was. I'm looking forward to completing this course, sooner than later.
