Since I am very new to the field of data; I have learnt that data is being used for just about any improvement in our day to day life to big business solutions; automation to the AI technology.

The foundation course has taught me the Why data is so important & How to use it to our best advantage!

The course is designed so nice that it covers everything . Right assessments at right time help your knowledge stick. I am thankful to all the team members who put efforts to design it in a such a way so that it can be learned by anyone from any field without any prior knowledge about the subject.

The course is descriptive enough and is given you the information about data analytics to very basic to very core.

This course also bring you to a point where you can stand in a crowd and talk about the topic without hesitating and this thing about the course bring me the most value from the course

A good introduction of both "Data Analytic Life Cycle" and "Data Life Cycle" . It set out a set of systematic procedure that guide the User (Data Analyst) to (a) go through the whole process step by step in the orderly and logical manner, and (b) achieve the objectives of such designated project.

i really enjoyed every bit of this course and how Tony and every other instructors handled each phase. One part that hits me the most is the area of asking questions. i used to be the type that would rather seek for help by going solely online to avoid being looked down on. but now i know better.

It is a great combination of instructional lectures and related information about how the skills we learn in this course is directly applicable to being a data analyst in industry. I was amazed by how the readings and supplemental lecture videos taught about the real applications of data analysis.

The lesson learnt foundation : Data , Data everywhere are great , very interesting and straight forward .

I do hope the next courses will be easier than the foundation.

many thank to Coursera and Google team for making it easy for me and for the love they have for students.

I already have a background in analysis, but it is refreshing to hear that the professionals at Google have gone and are going through many of the same stuggles I face. Learning about the methodology they use to ask and answer questions has already started to impact my work in a positive manner.

such a great and exelent course have learn so much in just the first course since the instructor tonny , the videos, the definitions and the quizes really helped me a lot to understand more about what really is the job of a data analyst and the basic things I needed to learn! i recommed it 100%

data analytics is a very good career. ... Fittingly, high demand for Data Analysts correlates to an increase in salary—many Data Analysts' salaries sit quite comfortably above the $70,000 line, even in junior positions, with senior and highly specialized positions typically reaching over $100,000

Tony was such a great instructor! He made me feel so excited about data analytics and confident that I could succeed in this new area. I had a great experience in this course and hope the remaining courses in the certificate program are just as good. I wish Tony was the instructor the whole time!

The first module really did provide the basics of spreadsheet, SQL, and other programs that data analyst will get to use. They provide resources like getting familar with Excel and knowing how to use it and as well as SQL it was very interesting being able to experiment and using it for practice.

A fantastic course, fantastic instructors, this course has helped me a lot, It gave me a chance of dreaming that one day I can have a job that I am really passionate about. THANK YOU GOOGLE, I hope I finish this amazing course that gave meaning to my life, and may be one day I might be a googler.

This course is very impactful to every beginner. I learned alot and which help me in future. But Fairness is not a detailing topic so it's a request try to minimize in less content and anyone who is beginner and needed guidance about this course, You will take this course without any hesitation.

The course was incredibly captivating, to the point where I was fully engrossed and determined to complete the initial level without any interruptions. If provided with the opportunity to receive financial assistance, I am eager to continue my journey and successfully complete all eight courses.

Throughout the course, I have the opportunity to work with real data sets and use different tools and technologies to analyze and visualize data. By the end of the course, I gained a solid understanding of data analysis and its applications, as well as the tools and techniques used in the field.

Great foundational course. Presents a nice overview and gives you an overall picture of what is to come. Briefly touches on a few tools to be learned in upcoming classes. Basic SQL queries, spreadsheets, etc. I like how they offer a learning log and assignments along the way. Great first course!

It is a great course. It covers the basic knowledge that we should know if we want to become a data analyst. Another thing that I find the most interesting is the sharing session of Google employees, how their insights regarding this profession, the tips and tricks to become a good data analyst.

Great content and most relevant reference materials to build on learnings. I liked how brief the topic videos were, yet so informative. I have learnt such a lot in such a short period of time. Most important for me as an entrepreneur is the applicability of the learning material to any business.

Some of the test questions are tricky, and the final course exam had 2 questions that were not discussed in the course materials, but were more behavioral "what would you do" type questions. But, overall a this course was good introduction to data analytics. I will continue with the next course.

Fantastic course. I am a CS student who knows a lot about data analysis yet this course taught me a lot. I know which told to use for different tasks. I have a clear overview of the industry and the job opportunities of a data analyst. I am planning on completing the whole specialization course.

at first, i was sceptic, it was not clear what i was starting. But through the weeks, it became more and more understanding, it gave me a clear path to embrace what i was learning; this first course is very important as it will open doors to know exactly what you are embarking yourself into.

I enjoyed this course a lot actually! It was extremely interactive and kept me engaged throughout. It wasn't merely about providing information, instead, it forced me to think, ask questions and reflect on many things. Thankyou for this amazing course Google! Excited for the rest of the courses!
