The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

Everything was perfect but some questions on the practice and graded quizzes were tricky. The answers conflicted from the point of view side so it might need a better explanation for the right answer.

This course was a really good intro overview to using spreadsheets, but the most valuable part of this course was the soft skills for the workplace. Discussing how to prepare for meetings, team communication and conflict resolution was very helpful.

This is a great course with very good instructors. They seem excited to teach and explain things very well.

The Avanced Data Analysis by Google is the Opposite. I didn't learn much at all and the instructors sucked! Hard to understand and boring.

Excelente curso que mostra que a análise de dados vai muito além da matemática, envolve a comunicação, o pensamento analítico, e claro, fazer perguntas efetivas para chegar aos problemas e conclusões que serão úteis para a organização. Eu amei!!!

I really learned a lot from this course. Very tiring but the material presented made me think for quite a while. The exercises also made me go back and forth to read the material. And I succeeded. Thank you Ximena, you are a tenacious instructor.

I had a lot of fun learning in this course especially because I did not feel rushed and had time to work and balance life unlike traditional schooling. I recommended this course for people like me that thrive in online non-live learning course.

The Course is excellent. But what I would like to suggest is to check some of the questions once more. Some of the questions posed in the practice tests are so objective that we always feel that the answers could end up being a personal choice.
