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.

Not a bot btw! I get worried about those too.

A great course that specializes in learning rather than grades, making sure you pay attention on top of getting you into the mindset of a data analyst. Very hands on, very engaging, and Tony is an excellent teacher!

I think you have to add more question which is asked in previous interviews for this syllabus which covered in this module because adding more practice questions means using more find which means you are more closer towards your journey of being a data analyst

I found this course to be fun, informative, and interesting. I never gave much thought to data and how it affected our daily lives. Learning that data is all around us, was a new thought to me. I would like to continue this course once I am able to afford it.

This course is an interesting one. It creates a more clearer picture of what data is, how it is used and how it can be gathered. it is presented in such a comprehending way. It also gets me prepared ahead for all that it takes to become a future data analyst.

I absolutely loved this course. The instructors are very engaging. It would be nice if it was made a little bit more inclusive by allowing voice narration on the app and even by having voice narration done by a "close to human" sounding reader in the website.
