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.

As a rookie, this was a great course to learn about the basics of data analysis. It helps you to get insight into this profession. I really loved that the course includes practical lessons whereas you need to write an SQL query. Long story short, this is a great start to learn data analysis.

Fantastic introduction! Overall great information and exposition, I only would have added more diagrams which represent what tables, attributes etc represent in the context of databases (though maybe it's explained later in the course dedicated to SQL!), I wouldn't change a thing beyond that.

Excellent course, learned much more when Nikki was talking versus the gentlemen in the videos. (I felt he went too fast and skipped over shortcuts Nikki discussed in her previous videos) I learned alot and recommend this to anyone getting back into using Excel or learning for the first time.

Even though I am non technical person I found this 1st module of this course very basic. It helps me a lot. I learned lots of new terms, like basic of SQL,spreadsheets, data analysis procedure, how to approach problem in a stepwise. Different case studies & their approach of problem solving.

Excellent course. Thanks. The division into short units helps a lot to absorb the bowel efficiently and quickly. Repetition of concepts has assimilated them better into understanding. It would have been good if there were more options for the actual practice of tables, visualization and sql.

It was a great introduction to Data Analysis. To be honest, it is an intimidating task not knowing much about it but the material was excellent to get started. Some things were a bit too basic even for me but it´s understandable for a course that is aimed for everyone. Keep up the good work

I enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. The content is well organised and focused on practical situations. I particularly enjoyed the bits of psychological research shared in the content. This course was short but very informative and very helpful for an aspiring leader like myself.

A supportive, informative, and insightful beginning to data analysis. It provides education in an open and encouraging way. With challenges occurring periodically throughout to test your learning but not in an overly aggressive manner or discouraging way. Cannot wait to go to the next step!
