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.

Los conceptos y tareas están muy bien desglosadas y todo el material te pone en contexto de fácil acceso. La preparación te pone en sintonía con situaciones y problemas reales, luego uno mismo lo lleva a su esquema profesional.

Good foundation. Never gets too complicated so if you're a beginner it gives you confidence to continue. For more advanced learners it's a good primer and can help you understand foundations for things you never thought about.

The only thing I would change would be to go over more types of charts and their meanings. With examples as well. I believe the visualization and cleaning data phases were the only ones I think could have went into more detail.

Great course so far. My only regret was I didn't start a year ago when I first discovered it. Week 3 is when I finally understood what Data Analytics truly was. I'm looking forward to completing this course, sooner than later.
