The lessons were easy to follow through and the explanantions were easy to understand. The hands-on practices also helped improve hands-on skills with the data analysis tools introduced in this course

I like the content, but there are some bugs with the system. Several times my course progress was lost. The help center was always able to recover my history, though.

Thanks to the instructor. I've gained a lot from Preparing data (data security, data structure, data organization and SQL/Kaggle are really interesting topics for me)

Intro to Kaggle content seems misordered, which overwhelmed me. I trust it will come together once we dive into the course on R. Other than that, lots of great info!

This was concise and to the point fairly easy to grasp if taken in chronological order much easier than ibm in so far as explaining interactive application elements.

The instructor could be more "connected" to the camera... it doesn't seem as connected to the student as some of the other instructors in this certification program.

It's really interesting and I learnt a lot. I would say it gives you all the ideas and then you need to put in your effort to learn more. Needs a lot of practice.

There was a lot to learn and take in. The theoretical information was manageable but needed more time and experience with the tutorials, practices and challenges.

there should be a forum where by you can ask questions from facilitators and get feedback immediately. it is possible to that even though it is an online course.

The course was well-structured, and the concepts were clearly described. One suggestion that might help future learners, go into the details of BigQuery and SQL.

This class was the most challenging (and rewarding) of the three taken so far. Do click on the recommended reading and get familar with kaggle and Big Query.

So far, I'm learning a lot. The only complaint I have is that there are too many talking head videos that seem more like filler than actual learning content.

I have only concern about the course is making the reading part brief and increase the video. Reading part sometime makes bore. Overall great course to take.

This course can be considered as step by step guide to one of the main process about the data analysis. Everything is well explained and in good progression.

Learned to use SQL to find in-depth information. In what we find from public information which is useful to use It gives you more perspective on the data.

Almost all the information this course gave was so useful and practical even though I still don't know how practical and important it is to be an analyst.

Course was very educational. I wish Couresa would get the program fixed so that my grades would transmit to my college correctly. I'm very frustrated.

The only small issue I had was working with BigQuery. The "pin" function has changed to "starred". Still the same concept and really an excellent course

Well tailored. One topic focused on a social networking, which I consider as a pros! Anyway I thought that this course will be more around hard-skills.
