Very good course, giving beginners an overview of various aspects of data analysis, as well as having data analysts share their experiences, which is a great way for learners to get to know the field.

Great information but VERY misleading. Instead of showing a 5 week course load, I think it would have been more transparent to show that this is only the FIRST 5 weeks out of an eight course program.

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.

For a foundations course, it was very comprehensive. I got a lot more out of it when using the 'Coach' to help me practice and doing deep dives into the industry that I was interested in & this was in the context of data analytics. I am now continuing with my journey of the next set of modules.

Loved Toney, I just connected with him on a few layers. Refreshing introduction to a professional certification. I was able to really start to understand why I think the way I do and how to start verbalizing in a more logical analytical way. I know this will help me in my career. Let's level up

As someone just coming into data analytics with very little knowledge of what the job means or the tools analysts used, I found this course to be a really thorough and enlightening exploration of the role of data analysts, the tools they use, and the issues they must consider related to data.
