Hi Coursera, I would like to express my concerns over this course of the program:

Below are the things which I consider the cause of slow and dry nature of this course:

LEARNING OUTCOME WHICH I CONSIDER USEFUL:

1) The learning outcome which I got from this course WHICH I CONSIDER USEFUL is, Structured Thinking, Questions to ask from stakeholders and from myself during the six phases of analysis, Types of problems, Ineffective questions, SMART methodolgy of asking effective questions. Data-inspired decision making, Types of data, Presentation tools, Pivot tables, metric, metric goals, Small data, big data, Spreadsheet info, data life cycle and spreadsheets, Spreadsheet errors and fixes.

LEARNING OUTCOME IN WHICH I CONSIDER MYSELF IN BIT TROUBLE IN DIGESTING THE KNOWLEDGE I GAINED:

1) Scope of work, should be more practice based and practical (giving scenario questions and how to prepare SCOPE OF WORK tempelate for that scenario).

2) Week 4 of this course is not so much appreciated as i found this week's material dry and lots of efforts to understand in one go, please make this week more scenario based, more practical.

Thanks

This was overall a good course but could use a section on how to construct questions better especially if you are new to analytics, business, finance, etc. Sometimes new people don't have the necessary words and background experience to come up with proper questions or understand which questions would be important in that field due to lack of experience and working knowledge. Having a lot of scenarios and sample questions was extremely helpful but these were provided and did not help me in coming up with my own questions unless I changed a word or two to suit my example, which I didn't want to do as it felt like copying. It would be helpful to learn to word a question properly so that it makes sense to everyone. Also, the section referring to Problem types is very confusing and I struggled to make sense of it, seeing as the list of problem types is more of a list of solutions not the types of problems. I understand the overall picture but it took me ages to get there, I feel like if it was worded in a different way, the overall progress of this course would've been faster.

I believe this course is great, but its lacking more in depth examples of how to properly use SQL, Spreadsheets, Database Systems, Formulas and a few other things. As I have stated before, there needs to be a [live chat] available to speak to someone when in need. As I am new to all of this, I have had problems understanding a few things as mention in the above statements. This is causing me to stop or rethink about this whole course why? If I can not understand fully one stage of course how can I continue moving forward with the rest of the program. I will be lost trying to work at things as they get harder because I don't fully understand even the basic requirements. I won't be able to put things together when the time comes. Its very upsetting for me, I don't seem to get the full story in each stage of the course, this will only lead me to think that I know how to do things, but in reality I don't even no how to do the basic things, I feel so lost at times.
