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.

I like how the instructor takes you from basic and builds on the complexity of the course. I especially appreciated giving us a zoom into the job space of Data Analysts. As a 1st course in a series, I look forward to continue with the rest of the courses and discover more on this field.

I learned a lot about data and what it means to be a data analyst. It is not only using software and deal with numbers like I thought before, you have much more responsibilities and you need to educate your brain about how to think to solve the problems. This course enlightened me a lot.

This is a great course for a beginner and someone like me who has worked with Data but is not officially a data analyst. Very helpful. Great modules, great Adult Education techniques incorporated into the content. Went quickly and doing all of the exercises really supported the learning.

Безумно полезный курс, который даёт полное представление о профессии: "Аналитик данных" и в принципе о базах данных и их применениях. Я рекомендую этот курс для всех, кто решил войти в IT с нуля. Спасибо создателям: всё очень понятно, доступно, ярко, интересно! Рекомендую всем сердцем!

The first course is top-notch. They actually made this course in such a way that it was so easy and fun for me who has no prior knowledge of data analysis. I would say if they can maintain this level of teaching in all throught the course this can be one of the best course in coursera.

This is my first course from Coursera and it has been a wonderful experience. The videos were sufficient, the quizzes were great and thought provoking. I love the self-paced learning mechanism and the ability to retake failed quizzes. I'd totally recommend it to beginners in this area.

The course provided a clearer picture of how data is used in everyday life and in different analyst-like jobs across industries. This kind of deep dive helps me and other students understand the value of educated decision-making and responsible research behaviors in business settings.

The first course was very informative and slow paced, attributes that important for individuals whom are not familiar with data analysis. In addition, the what the course reinforced what was taught in the videos and reading during exercises and assessments was high yield in my opinion.

I think this course is a little bit too easy and focuses too much on the conceptual understanding of data analytics. Nevertheless, I think it is a super good start of a series of course on data analytics. Generally speaking, I think the course has a very good quality and worth taking.

This is a foundation course.

For those who are completely new, it is definitely recommended to finish it before going on to the next courses in this specialization.

It is simple and easy for those who have some experience, but worth spending some time on it. You can finish it in a week.
