It lets you understand the significance of Data and how it is used in almost all sectors. It might not always need technical skills but also involves non-technical skills of storytelling and communicating with data. Overall a must study course to anyone who is in touch with data in one form or the other in order to brush their basics.

The experience was great!

The highlight of the learning experience is the video as opposed to reading text. I'd leave it on play driving to work. This allows quick access to the opportunity of internalizing the lessons through repetition leaving me with a hunger to get in the door of the world of analytics.

Thank you Coursera team.

Great Course, especially for someone who has little to no knowledge in this specific field.

Having the videos along with the reading material made it easy for me, to pick up where I left off especially after a long hiatus

Being able to go back and retake the practice exams was also useful to help retain the information learned

What differentiates this course from other online-courses is how much thought was given to the structuring of the lessons. A tip from my side - try not to keep wide time lap between the lessons and try to finish ahead of schedule. I would also recommend that you take notes electronically, so everything remains organized!

Really enjoyed the class! Everything was easy to understand for a newbie like me (didn't know what data analytics was before I took this class) and it was at my own pace! Enjoyed it! Usually says this class will take a month to get through, but if you put in the work, it'll take 2 to 2 1/2 weeks, like it did for me. :)

Really great introduction! It is a really valuable resource that i will definitely revisit at some point, as it explains really nicely and in a simple way so many aspects of data analysis that someone gets a really good view of what skills they are expected to develop! It was worth eventually the subscription :)
