About the Course

This is the fifth course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. In this course, you’ll explore what it means to actually analyze your data. You’ll take what you’ve learned up to this point and apply it to make sense of the data you’ve collected. You’ll learn how to organize and format your data using spreadsheets and SQL to help you look at and think about your data in different ways. You’ll also find out how to perform complex calculations with your data to address business objectives. You’ll learn how to use formulas, functions, and SQL queries as you conduct your analysis. Current Google data analysts will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks with the best tools and resources. Learners who complete this certificate program will be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as data analysts. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, learners will: - Learn how to organize data for analysis. - Understand the processes for formatting and adjusting data. - Explore how to aggregate data in spreadsheets and by using SQL. - Use formulas and functions in spreadsheets to make data calculations. - Learn how to complete calculations using SQL queries....

Very good and useful practice of SQL. The JOIN party is pretty hardcore so I definitely couldn't master it but got enough of an understanding where I could learn quickly with some on the job training.

An excellent course for learning analysis techniques using Spreadsheets and SQL. Recommended for all engineering and data science students as well as for those managing businesses and human resource.

So far, this was by far the worst course in this specialisation program, it's incoherent, most of the info is already covered in the preceding courses, the order of lections within the course doesn't make sense (functionalities are used before explanation), every example/exercise used a new data set (for no apparent reason) and many of the quiz questions ultimately relied on semantics. I thoroughly did not enjoy this course and considered dropping the entire specialisation program because of this.

Instructor very fast and she doesn't give detailed explanations to what she is solving which really demotivate me and when I checked many also say same thing on our discussion area and there is no actual responses from your side all they say (thank you for your feedback) is that all so actually we didn't feel any steps taken maybe your company actually is taking steps in this regards but we will never know if nobody tell us which in return actually give us not good image of coursera

did not care for the instructor at all. most of it was probably tied to the fact that several times incorrect codes were given and it would take multiple hours to figure out what actually needed to be put down. Made several complaints about this in reports and never heard back. Even found a group of people who were searching out the answers in stackoverflow and found some. there were entire missing lines in the SQL code. please review your Bigquery codes for this unit.

Terrible. The instructor does this way too fast and provides the most excruciatingly confusing examples. I tried accessing public datasets from bigquery and it kept saying "url not found". So i tried contacting Google Cloud support, which was literally impossible. I actually think I would have somehow learned more if I had not taken this course at all. This made me want to completely stop trying with the professional certificate and now I honestly want a refund.

No STAR at all.

Coursera.org and Google are great, but this course seriously needed to be revisited and all the videos and content to be reviewed and synchronized.

the teacher is very professional and knows her subject BUT she is not a teacher by all means.

please replace the teacher and revise the course with the latest CLAUSE please.

I am grateful to GOOGLE and COURSERA.ORG for providing me with great professional skills.

I'm only rating this way because I can't rate the entire Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. I just wasted 6 months on this course with the promise I could get a job in data analysis. Well, I can crush data analysis! But my lack of background in math is proving to make me unhirable. I wish I'd known this before wasting time and money on this program. Now I'm 6 months behind training for another career.

this course is so repetitive compared to the prior courses. I expected this course to teach us how to analyze data when looking at a dataset, It turns out just showing some sorting that are similar to "process course". I would not recommend anyone to study this, a complete waste of time and money! I guess the instructor did not watch the prior content from the process course.

By a longshot, this course has been the most poorly executed in the Data Analytics curriculum. The teaching versus the exercises were nonsensical. For anyone new to data analytics, SQL or spreadsheets, prepare to be amazingly confused. The sheer number of corrections in each video should have given the QA team for this video, pause. This section needs a complete overhaul.

The content of this course was neither explained very thoroughly nor presented in a way that was easy to understand. I found myself looking for a lot of other resources to learn some of the topics, especially SQL subqueries. Upon requesting for assistance through discussion forums, I discovered that many of my peers also taking the course were equally frustrated.

I learned a lot from this course but it was a nightmare. The instructor moved extremely fast through the important parts of the code writing and examples. I had to pause each video countless times and rewind just so I could figure out what she was doing. Also, not enough explanation of what she was doing in each step. All the other courses were at a great pace.

this part was the most important one ,i think it is the difference between the theoretical and the practical, between what you arrange in secret and what will appear in public. I think it did not receive enough explanation and practical examples. I think it would have been better to divide it into 3 parts between different lecturers.

Its the least useable course so far. It has lots of repeated contents which have alreay disscussed in the privious courses. And the analysis techniques covered are short and weak. I can't beleive those are the only analysis techniques that are worth to discuss for a junior DA.

most of the tutorials are outdated or in correct and then they have added pitstops where after some time they tell its wrong do it this way to get the result ! took most of my time and also confused me ! just paid for it so just hanging on never making this mistake again .

This instructor is way too fast, skips steps and does not answer any of the questions I am left with. I thought the JOIN section was attrocious.

Also, one of the datasets on citibikes just returned a full set of null values, I could not do anything with the dataset myself.

I am not impressed with volume and the interface, I am work on bigquery, my interface is different from that of the instructor the features such how to query setting is not showing on my interface ..

on how to save and create new table and it has taken a lot of my time.

Teacher wasn't the best and not only rushes and jumps lots of steps but also doesn't address key concepts in an organised manner, the course is poorly sectioned and sections overlap and render it difficult to save the content into relevant folders to study from.

so many mistakes in the lecture, and the instructor is really not organized...Please don't write scripts that don't explain the key knowledge points. I had basically learn everything from W3School instead, what's the point then?

When I the course provided me the syntax that it wanted me to you use on Bigquery, results would come back denied. It was just too many to go though cases like that and it was hard for me to keep up with the course.

Compared all the course, this specifically felt tough. I have prior knowledge of SQL, but still felt it was difficult to follow along. Easier examples could have been used. First poor review from the entire course.

The way of explaining was brief to me about the difficult things in a lesson Subauerv

In practical tests, the examples were much more difficult, than the video explanation, supposed to be consistent

It's very difficult to follow the explanations, so far the worst part of the course. The teacher speaks very quickly during applications in spreadsheets and SQL - Some functions don't work

The instructor in this course is needlessly confusing, and assumes you know functions you have never seen, which then makes it really hard follow along on some of the activities.

i give 0 stars to this course because the instructer covers lot of topics without brief explanation. few concepts i couldnt able to understand, it went above my head

These courses have only gotten worse as they've progressed. Unfortunately I already gave 1 start for the previous modules so there's no lower score I can give.

The instructor for this course doesn't explain all the steps thoroughly and leave the audience blank, please use the videos for this course.
