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.

For a beginner like me, it was very insightful. It gave me the thorough understanding of what data analytics is all about. With the first phase of analysis, the ASK phase (which this course 1 elaborate), gave me the confident of knowing how to deal with the stakeholders.

Great course, sets down an amazing foundation and I especially love the examples and the glossary being updated with definitions. As I re-read them everytime a new one is updated and it helps with retaining all the knowledge/information. Excited to begin the 2cnd course!

Very informative for people who are trying to learn the basics of Data Analytics and it is not too strenuous when trying to learn the subject. Great way of breaking off sections into bit sized chunks to be able to retain information better for the long run in the course.

This was such an informative course! Tony was a phenomenal instructor. Not only did he speak clearly, slowly, and with a purpose, but he was encouraging. I'm going to miss class with Tony, but I am looking forward to being one step closer to my certificate! Thanks, Tony!

The teacher is excellent! I had no idea what my journey would be like and what subject would be covered. Now I know how to explain the work of a data analyst, their main skills, and where I want to go. The introduction to the course is excellent and very well explained.

Good course for people with no business-analitycs experience, who wants to get useful insights and basic knowledge in this domain. For people who know basics in business-analytics it could be too easy, I would recommend to find a course with a higher level of dificulty.

It was an insightful course giving me a lot of background for data before I start learning about different phases of data analysis.

Also, I enjoyed the bit size introductions to different aspects of data analyst work life through employees of Google and other companies.

I really enjoyed it. The course design is extremely professional and very user friendly. Thanks! The only little critique I have is that some of the content is explained very or maybe even too detailed - on the other hand it's very good to address all experience levels.

I think this course is quite a complete one to clear the idea of Data Analytics, what it is and how it is done through different processes and what we need to achieve in the end. A lot of things that I have learned from this course, can't explain in two or three lines.

I love this foundation course, it gives detailed information, great examples, excellent and clear lectures. It teaches you from scratch, takes you step by step to understand materials, and then tests you to anchor the learning and understanding of the topic.

Great job!

This is a great intro and/or refresher course for anyone looking to get into Data Analytics. I'm very excited if the rest of the program is put together as this first course. I was suprised at how much I learned from this program even with having some prior experience.

This is a great course for introduction in data Analysis. I was able to learn about data analysis problem solving strategy and gives an introduction to some tools which is needed to become a great data analyst. I have a much more better grasp of what a data analyst is.
