I just finished the 2nd Course in the Google Data Analyst course - even though I have experience in the field, this course reminded of areas that I should focus on and work to strengthen my skills in.

Интересный, понятный курс для людей, которые только начинают изучать данную стезю. Правда многое из этого курса покажется слишком легким, наподобие работы с таблицами (если ты студент/учился, то уже работал с этим и должен знать)

Excellent course materials, and on top of that the teachers, quizzes, it was all top notch. Loved the exam pattern in the end where we were given a quasi- real project to work on, very grateful for such learning opportunities.

The second course was a fantastic way for a beginner such as myself to get their hands dirty. The hands on labs in this course were great, they were very informative and gave real world scenarios to further enforce the content.

I think the first half of the course was amazing because I never thought of adding the smart methodology to questions however I failed to see how the last half connected to Asking Great Questions to make data-driven decisions.

This course was definitely an eye-opener as to how a course can be taught professionally, by breaking down the overall content into smaller, much easy to understand video and written modules. Congrats for such an amazing job!!

It was a good follow-up for the last course, activities were a bit longer but that's good for learning. There were some soft skills too and I also think that's great because sometimes not everything has a technical solution.

Good introduction into important topics that one would face in the Corporate world, I would like to see more of how to deal with bosses that don't understand the timelines and that are pushy to get their asks completed.
