This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

This training has been incredibly helpful to me. Even though the term or precise stage is unclear, I have been working as a data analyst for a while. After taking this course, I feel really competent.

It is a great course. What I like the most are both the self-reflection and study case. That's what I need, doing a case study directly after I got the theory. It would be nothing if you jus watching the video without practicing. This course allows me think in real life cases so that I could implement the framework as a data analyst to analyze the data from ask, prepare, process, analyze, share, and act.

even though I practice the art of data analysis almost daily in my job. This course by itself opened my eyes to the in depth procecess that go into the science of data analysis. I am looking forward to the rest of the courses; This course was very well put together, challenging in that it made think deeper inside my thought patterns to answer the questions. All in all, just makes me better all around.

I really enjoyed the overview of the analytics field. This module taught a lot of foundational information such as the data analysis process and the data analyst mindset which I thought were important. It also does a good job of explaining the purpose of the data analytics tools. Finally, I appreciate learning about some of the different kinds of analyst jobs that exist and how they compare and differ.

The best course I ever done, I like the instructor Tony very much, videos are short, there is a reading part which is useful, plus the glossary. The quiz questions are not difficult to answer if you understand the topics. There is a lot of repetition which helps with the retention of the information. There is time and tools to use the knowledge. Great introduction to SQL! Thank you, Tony and the team!

I really like the way they started with very basics of everything and having quizzes in between keep the momentum up! :) Though it seems to be very simple in the start but gaining 100% in the quizzes will surely boost up the moral.(Who don't like to score 100% ;-) ). This course will surely motivates and help increase curiosity in each and everyone who is going to opt for this course. THANK YOU Tony!

This was a wonderful introduction to Data Analytics. It really helped get me excited to learn more about the world of data analysis. I had done some research on my own before choosing this course and this intro definitely helped me understand exactly what I was getting into. It's a lot of work, but if you're passionate about data it will all be worth it once you are finished with the entire program.

The course is the foundation to understand what is data and what is Data Analysis It has been broken down into pieces and taught so well, that I took 2 weekends to complete this course (Just 4 days). The fact that I was already a bit aware of spreadsheets, queries, etc. helped me increase the pace. However, the course is still very easily doable, and creates an enthusiasm to learn more in the field.

My only suggestion is to please provide feedback after quizzes if you pass without a perfect score! Sometimes I will get an answer wrong but have no idea why it is wrong. It is more effective for me to see the answer right there as opposed to having to go back and reread or watch material. I can see the question and answer and better understand what I got wrong, and also take note of it for later.

The course presents a very good overview of the concept of Data Analytics that relates theory to practice. The instructors present the content in a down-to-earth manner and brilliant language that anyone can understand. The curriculum is concentric and provides an opportunity, at every stage, to review and consolidate previously learnt concepts. Overall, it is an excellent course, and I loved it!

I very much enjoyed this introduction to Data Analytics! It taught me several things that I have considered, however, this course challenged me to think deeper and to consider even more. Something I would like to see improved would be to have some vehicle to ask questions and receive feedback to solidify concepts and clarify trouble areas. I am excited to continue my journey in Data Analytics!

Google is always great in encouraging the learner to work at there own paces and succeeding in every step.

The course was gentle (if that makes sense), which made it easy and fun to learn with no pressure.

I especially liked the host and special guests throughout the course. The constant host made it feel like we were on this journey together. Which was encouraging, and again, made learning fun!

A very gentle introduction into Data Analytics. I would think the ideal audience would be those who do not have any experience with this topic. Although I could have skipped this first course, I finished all of the course work because I wanted to see the quality of the instruction material. I was impressed. Looking forward to finishing the program and learning a few new things along the way.

Very basic and thorough. By which, I mean it is VERY approachable for anyone at any stage of life or career. It assumes a very clean slate of experience by the learner; however, it doesn't come of like it is geared toward kindergartners. It is broken down into niece bite sized and easy to digest portions that is effortless to build on. This is a truly approachable and achievable endeavor.
