A very structured course to give basic and useful insight to the world of data analysis. From zero, one absorbs the possible levels of details and requirements to get into the world of data analysis.

A lot of definitions that are probably more relevant to those early or pre-career. But I can see the value to those without any corporate experience.

The course adequately introduces learners to the field of Data Analytics. What could be improved is the quality of questions employed in Quizzes.

Very theoretical with few use case studies. Yet was very informative and was like a wholesome beginner capsule (short yet thorough foundation)!

Good intro module but needs more interaction throughout. Engage during the learning rather than just a mini test at the end of some videos.

The final exam questions 1 and 2 were confusing. Instead of asking for data points, the test should have asked for attributes or fields.

It's a good intro to Data Analytics, however there are a lot of materials which are very very broad and which don't bring so much value.

The narration went a little too fast when there were many new words, for example, lists of specific tools. Otherwise it was great!

The Course Price is not worth it as per the content involved. Either the price need to reduce or the content should be valued up.
