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.

The first course is pretty theoretical, which might be different from many people's expectations. However, I recommend this course because I find it very useful to have an overview of data analytics, help me to think more analytically, and apply some of the skills in my daily life.

An excellent introduction to data analytics. I have no programming knowledge whatsoever or a computer background, and this made me feel confident and reassure in what I will be doing. Would highly recommend for anyone regardless of learning level -- Tony is a fantastic instructor!

I found the course super motivating except the discussion prompts, I checked the forums and lot of people actually post useless comments, so I ended up skipping all the prompts (I did see a few smart and interesting posts).

A big thank you to everyone who made this course possible!

I couldn't believe I was able to complete a course, things had been rough and I thought I won't be able to do anything right. The course got me hooked and I can feel a little better about myself now, a very detailed course with crystal clear explanation. Thank you for teaching me!

For a foundation to the course, it is well detailed. The process balnces video and reading sections. I love the pop quiz as this helps you to focus and listen to every aspect of the course. The discussion forums and the learning are great to help share ideas and learn from others.

Before this course I knew that Data Analysis is about Excel, SQL, R, Python and Tableau. After completing this first course my misconception cleared. Now I have started believing that data is a living thing. Looking forward to complete all rest of the courses of Google Analytics.

Everything was well structured and the short videos made it easy to learn and understand each concept very well. The quiz and activities helped in making the concepts crisp clear.

It is a really great platform to learn on our own pace and get along with all the concepts and terms.

I just think that the explanation at Fairness/Unfairness could be more detailed, i watched the videos twice and still had some doubts.

I had to research more about that to understand it better.

Besides that, it's an excellent course that introduce you to the world of Data Analysis.

It has been a great journey in learning this concept. It has helped me to broaden my mind to find new opportunities in the field. As a finance student with zero experience in the field, but a keen interest in the concept, this course is the best way to give yourself a jumpstart.

For someone with NO BACKGROUND in data Analytics, this is an excellent introductory course covering all the basic terminologies, tools and skills to be used later in the program- not to mention that there's a ton of extra resources linked which can be a great plus as we move on.

I usually find intructory courses somewhat boring, but this one is great!

It will provide you with all the information you need and will tell you a lot about data analysis, there's some information I had never considered before while doing some research on my own about the field.
