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.

Fantastic! As a complete beginner I love how they really broke things down to make sure we fully understood what Data Analytics is, how it's important everywhere and the roles analysts can take. Their approach gives you, as a newbie, confidence that you might be able to learn and fully grasp this new skill set

I was surprised by the larger focus on soft skills in the course, but quickly realized that the field of analytics is not limited to queries, coding and visualization. It turned out to be a nice balance and refreshing to write regularly my thoughts in a journal, complementing the more technical tasks required.

Everything is just amazing so far. I've learned and I'm still learning a lot when I watch these well-produced videos or read the provided reading materials. I even learn a lot through these quizzes, whether I get it from the first time or for the n-th time. The course is so good for real! Thank you, Google!

This elementary course is a great foundation, especially to those who want to start or shift their career to data analytics field. The more interesting thing about this course it is not just covering the theoretical aspects but also instructs about how you will do in practical life as a data analyst as well.

Wonderful course, it covers all aspects of a Data analysis career. All real-life examples help to understand the concept better. The teaching method doesn't feel like watching a recorded video instead it feels like attending a live session. Great work Google team. Thank you, Coursera for such a nice course.

I am so grateful for having a chance to learn more into Data Analytics through this beginner course! It gave me the idea that I have already been doing Data Analytics in my previous works, yet i didn't know that that was Data Analytics. Plus, this beginner course gave me more things to learn and understand.

The foundation stage has been very interesting and an eye opener to the world of Data Analytics. I have learnt quite a lot and understood what it takes to become a data analyst. All the phases that involve data analysis are very informative together with the exercises. Looking forward to the second course.

The course was made very to understand at the same time it is informative. When getting wrong answers, it tells you why your answer was wrong and it explains it fully why it was wrong and it helps you think on your own what the right answer should be making it easier for you to understand the topic better.

I'm completely new to the world of Data Analytics and I really appreciate the way this course is structured. Learning is easy and with plenty of real life examples.

I really liked this course very much as I didn't have much much idea about data analyst. I learned the basic steps that are required to keep in mind while working as a data analyst in any field. The 5 whys, and 6 basic steps and the data driven decision skill that I learnt in this course is very important.

Great course, super much fun to do! I did not get bored at all, even though I am familiar with the basic concepts. I found the Qwiklabs part a bit confusing since there was no real exercise on that platform in course 1, but in restrospect there may be good reasons why to introduce it already in course 1...

This course is the best in the online world of learning. Because of the great instructors and the best platform. The quiz after every topic helps to remember the information for a longer period. Also, the criteria for 80% passing is very much helpful, because of this the learner's study being very focused.
