After a year of endless short courses and webinares trying to build my skill set up in a new career path with out attending formal face to face classes. It is all finally making sence to me. I wish this is where I had started. The questions and doubts about analytics as a new career with this course (Google: Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere) I fell like the puzzle pieces are all fitting into place. I am excited about my the path ahead with Google analysis certificate.

Excellent content to start with the right mindset and purpose, follow by how to do the job well and skills required. Very encouraging and passionate trainers to motivate learners to go further. Assignments were great to reinforce concepts and areas of attention. Met my expectation of getting a quick overview to connect with business and ideas to improve my analytics project user competency. Great resources also to use to convince those who are skeptical about analytics.

very good. 1st course is very helpful for those who have no prior experience. If you already have experience and knowledge about the basics you can skip some parts of the course and take a speed track. Google and Coursera always value your appreciable and productive time. If you really love analysis of data and have some gut insights and curiosity to know more and learn more go on. Don't hesitate. I am very thankful for Coursera and google for this wonderful experience.

This course introduces you in a gentle manner to data analysis fundamentals. You get a glimpse of the analysis skills data analysts have, what the data analysis process looks like in a business environment, and the tools and technical skills for data analysis (spreadsheets, SQL, and visualization tools).

The instructor is really nice and gives off a calm and warm presence. I think they were the best choice for an introductory course into a rather intimidating subject.

Personally, this course has made me open up my mind to fully understanding data analysis. I particularly love the way the lectures are broken down and the learning is as interactive as possible, with learning logs and links to improve our understanding of certain topics embedded within the course, as well as shorter videos and assessments that truly test what we learnt in each session. I will definitely recommend this course to people looking to get into data analysis.

I am absolutely not planning on taking the speed course, but I've been doing the placement quiz anyway, just out of curiosity. When I took the placement quiz for course 1, I scored a 70%. Not bad for a newb, but also not passing. Well, today I just completed course 1 and retook the quiz. Mainly so I could receive a checkmark. I got 100%! I feel that says everything about how well the course teaches the information. I now have a great foundation to complete this course!

This is my first exposure to DA and thus far it has been eye opening. It is nothing like what I thought it would be. I thought it was just spreadsheets and visualizations with hours of nerd work. I have come to find out that it is creative, collaborative, and employs a variety of skills. It is interesting, fascinating, and a journey for sure. I am looking forward to gaining the skills I need to have a long lasting and meaningful career in this exploding industry!

El primer curso me resulto atrapante en todo momento. Me intrigaba desde un principio saber de qué se trataba ya que siempre escucho hablar de de datos, analisis, encuestas, etc, en internet, pero no tenia idea de lo que se trataba. A través de videos y lecturas muy bien realizados tal cual lo dice en la información del curso: hecho para principiantes, he logrado comprender y aprender conceptos y procesos que a través de los cursos venideros espero ir profundizando.

Thank you so much for this course! I'm impressed with how much information and access I had during this time.

I would mention that there were a couple parts of the spreadsheets activity in which the questions asked during the assessments were not relatable to what was covered on the activities and learning modules. Perhaps, for people that aren't familiar with spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel), an additional activity could be utilized to go over basics.

I'm currently considering a career change and I was hesitant about making a move towards data analysis as I thought I could easily be too old and too dumb for analysis. This introductory course, getting to have a broad picture of what it is about and what I will need to learn, getting to try out new tools and, especially, finding out that I could actually understand more than expected has made me change my mind and given me a push to carry on. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic introduction to Data Analytics, taught by a diverse and knowledgeable group. Great pacing and a well rounded mix of videos, reading, community participation, and testing. The bonus content outside of the course was informative and helpful. I especially like the coverage of what a career in DA looks like, instead of just focusing on the skillset, this will save a lot of people time since they can find the path that best fits their interest and personality.

Nothing short of great. Especially, the mentor. He's not only good in explaining the topics, he is a great speaker too. The lessons were easy to understand though, at instances due to my limited vocab and sometimes, lack of understanding posed a challenge. We managed to steer off and make it this far. My thanks to Google for this iniatiative. I have found something which would aid me on my way to my dream. I want to complete the specialization and hope that I can!

Most of the content is more focused on establishing fundamental concepts. It would be better to finish reading everything within two days rather than following the weekly schedule outlined in the course.

There are many reflective exercises in between, and some of the content may be unclear for beginners. Just take a look and don't take it too seriously. Consider it as supplementary knowledge, and you can always come back to understand it later when needed for work.

I really love the course content, and the way it is designed to teach a newbie like me from scratch. It tries to cover all the aspect of the Data Analytics introduction and the uses of it in real life. I am satisfied with the information they are providing to match the learnings with the job market and the job titles so that I will be able to identify the right job for me, prepare for that and confidently apply for that. Thank you google for creating this course.

The best Data Analaytics foundation course.

The speakers are inspiring tutors and have great teaching skiils.

This course made me realized that I am already involved in data analytics in so many ways , I initailly I thought it was all about Database Management . Due to this course , I am now able to develop a good mid career goals.

Thank you Google Analytics Team for developing this program.

Well appreciated.

Thanks

I am not too experienced with online schools, or any data analysis background or understanding. But this course was made in a manner which was properly structured and very clear and consise with the information needed to earn the certificate. I can say with confidence that I would recommend this course to anyone who wanted to ingress into any new field or study, in fact for my upgrade to data science, I will definitly consider coursera for their degrees as well!

I honestly hadn't expected this course to transform the way I viewed data analysis and the role that data analysts play in the success of organizations, but it has! And now more than ever, I know this is the road I want to travel! The course makes it so easy to take in the information in bite size chunks, with speakers that make the informatin relatible and interesting. This course has exceeded my expectations and I look forward to continuting to study further!

The "Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" course provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of data analytics, making it an excellent stepping stone for a data analyst career. It covers fundamental concepts such as the types of data and various analysis techniques. . This course effectively builds a solid foundation for understanding how data can drive decision-making, making it incredibly valuable for anyone looking to start a career in data analysis.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the incredible learning experience I had with the course instructors. Their detailed and step-by-step approach to teaching the material was impressive. The course structure was well-planned, with each lesson building on the previous one, making it easy to follow along and understand. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire program. Thank you for a fantastic learning journey.

Overall, I appreciate the approach. Very helpful and learning-intended. Having said that, I learned a lot. Even, when you say "Oh I know that!" or "I already know that!" This course puts the concepts in a better perspective and therefore teaches us to use DATA to make our world a better place to live.

I recommend this course to everyone, anyone, for either professional or personal purposes. This course will help improve your outlook and how you will do things.

This course was so interesting and really led me down a rabbit hole of data analytics. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but the foundations course got me excited about what's to come in the next course for the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. Everything was easy to understand and, despite working full-time, I was able to complete the course in less than a week. My favorite part was exploring a bit of SQL; I can't wait to learn more!

This course was very insightful and knowledgeable . I like the way it is structured and provide great insight on the information that was presented. The only take away was the intro to Qwiklabs Video. It needs to be a little more detail in informing the students it is just a how to on opening and closing the Qwiklabs and not the beginning or introduction to completing the labs. Beside that it was phenomenal and I cant wait to continue on to the other courses.

I have not had work for the last eight months, and every job I tried to apply was asking for some kind of experience. I heard about the program from one of my children and decided to give it a try. The instructor gives you a lot of information to watch and jot down that is very helpful. I am able to put the data analyst certificate on my resume. It took me seventeen days to complete, but then again I am an empty nester and with no job. I highly reccommend

oooof, it was a really great experience with the Coursera team. It was a really professional team and the whole program was a sponsor. In this regard, I cannot help but extend my sincere thanks to all the team responsible for this rich program, as well as all the sponsors of Google and the Coursera Foundation for this effort and the support it provides to all groups from different regions of the world.

Thank you very much, and I hope to be in the next lessons.

So far so good. A very good introductory course data analytics. I have a graduate degree from data analytics and I found a lot of things that either I forgot or learned just now. Anybody who has a zero understanding of data analytics can take this course, learn about what is expected from them as a data analyst (not analytics) in the future.

My main concern usually with this type of courses is the quality of videos. And THE QUALITY IS REALLY GOOD for this one!
