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.

Good overview course on asking questions. I would like some better examples in the videos; the ones included are very superficial (e.g., use cases, examples). I understand confidentiality with companies, but some examples are pretty light.

Despite working as an analyst for more than a year now, this course organized my structured thinking methodology of mine and directed me to better communicate with stakeholders. So excited to dig into the next course in the specialization.

Content of the course is well presented and easy to follow. Great course!!

However, the instruction for the Qwiklab exercise is quite unclear. It is difficult to differentiate between preparing to log into the lab and the exercise itself.

Easy to manage and enjoyed the videos with text underneath. As an ADHD person, managing material for classes can be difficult. The text underneath the video allows me to stay focused on the video by giving me two platforms of engagement.

A lot of good information. If you are new to thinking this way and using these tools, this course will be a big help to you and take you step by step. If you are not new to these concepts and information it gives you a great refresher.

Stunning explanations and guided instruction. Lays out a solid foundation for what is to come in the rest of the certificate. Can be a refresh or can be the 1st glimpse into data work and not skip a beat for either type of experience.

More than the number crunching and manipulations of data, communications remains pivotal in data analysis. The six phases of data analysis is very clear on this from the Ask phase until the Act phase. This course did not disappoint.

Great course. I had trouble accessing Sheets from Google. I could find the application but I could not create a new worksheet. I followed the instructions so I am not sure the specific issue. Other than that the course was great.

Great Course and a good start to the Data Analytic Journey. The only feedback I had was around the SOW part of the training and its sudden jump during the practise. Might confuse the trainees, the group discussion suggest the same.
