I love how the course it's not limited to teach about the technical skills of a data analyst professional, but it also helps you discover some soft skills that make you a better human resource.

Too many obvious information for a person who has prior experience with data. Please cut the course short for those who already have grip over these concepts. Anyways, it is helpful and great.

Excellent course that provides a robust introduction to working with databases with Google sheets and SQL. Covers bias and data privacy as well. Gives clear definitions and is well taught and paced.
