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.

What I like most about Coursera is the variety of courses and catalogs that they have available, which gives greater accessibility to education today, they have different types of topics and branches and the courses are very well structured for what they are easy to learn.

This course is about the foundation of data and how it works and how data analysts can use all the tools. So all areas are covered, and you will get all aspects of data and basic strategies. All the instructors were very much focused to teach about data with peace of mind.

I have no good sense of data,, is never good in mathmatics and always thought that I would never be able to get close to data. Through this course, it really triggered my curiosity, interest as well as confidence that I might be able to get there. Well, we´ll wait and see.

I've learned a lot about data analytics during this course. Even though I'm still doubting if I want this as my career specifically, I came out of this course with relevant information such as what data is, data ethics, and how it works with other careers in the industry.

Very well put together, as someone with absolutely no data analysis background I feel the course was able to explain complex topics and terminology. I whole heartedly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in entering this industry with little to no experience.

Good introduction into Data Analytics and a very useful framework for dealing with Data Science projects. Beware though, the other courses in this career path aren`t as useful. In most of the courses, the focus is on Spreadsheets rather than SQL or programming techniques.

For a beginner like me, it was very insightful. It gave me the thorough understanding of what data analytics is all about. With the first phase of analysis, the ASK phase (which this course 1 elaborate), gave me the confident of knowing how to deal with the stakeholders.

Great course, sets down an amazing foundation and I especially love the examples and the glossary being updated with definitions. As I re-read them everytime a new one is updated and it helps with retaining all the knowledge/information. Excited to begin the 2cnd course!

Very informative for people who are trying to learn the basics of Data Analytics and it is not too strenuous when trying to learn the subject. Great way of breaking off sections into bit sized chunks to be able to retain information better for the long run in the course.

This was such an informative course! Tony was a phenomenal instructor. Not only did he speak clearly, slowly, and with a purpose, but he was encouraging. I'm going to miss class with Tony, but I am looking forward to being one step closer to my certificate! Thanks, Tony!

The teacher is excellent! I had no idea what my journey would be like and what subject would be covered. Now I know how to explain the work of a data analyst, their main skills, and where I want to go. The introduction to the course is excellent and very well explained.
