The course was fantastic, and the instruction was excellent. However, I needed some help with using BigQuery, finding it somewhat challenging. I find Microsoft SQL much more user-friendly and prefer it as my go-to tool.

Week 2 seems like a lot but is actually so much fun and you really get to do some hands-on work. This course had a lot of new terms and concepts so make sure to keep a notebook handy to jot down pointers and thoughts.

Course was good and effective in learning most of the topics covered. However, i'm still not familiar with BigQuery. The web interface is much different from the one presented in the tutorial here.

Thank you

It was hard, mostly the lectures because I really enjoy practicing, so when there is a video showing what we need to do is the best option for me! But it was fun, I'm still learning and I'm really enjoying this.

I really like the way she sounded. it wasn't too fast or too slow. Unlike the other speakers where I has to increase the time speed just to be able to appreciate what their saying.

Thanks for this opportunity <3

Getting advice from Googlers working in the field adds value to this course. Week five should't be taken for granted. Also, the course challenge was an opportunity to explore ideas and ways to present data.
