Was an excellent way to start with a Data Analytics course without having a background.

Guided activities were the best way to understand how to practically work on data in a practical scenario.

It is great for beginners, but a little bit too lengthy and redundant for someone who has some experience. My recommendation is use the speed track for course 1, 2, and 3 of this program.
