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.

Loved Toney, I just connected with him on a few layers. Refreshing introduction to a professional certification. I was able to really start to understand why I think the way I do and how to start verbalizing in a more logical analytical way. I know this will help me in my career. Let's level up

I liked how the videos were short and clear and condensed a lot of information in addition to the excellent sound quality. As for the reading section, it was clear and full of interesting information. I did not feel boring when reading it. Thank you for the hard work that went into this course.

As someone just coming into data analytics with very little knowledge of what the job means or the tools analysts used, I found this course to be a really thorough and enlightening exploration of the role of data analysts, the tools they use, and the issues they must consider related to data.

As a rookie, this was a great course to learn about the basics of data analysis. It helps you to get insight into this profession. I really loved that the course includes practical lessons whereas you need to write an SQL query. Long story short, this is a great start to learn data analysis.

Fantastic introduction! Overall great information and exposition, I only would have added more diagrams which represent what tables, attributes etc represent in the context of databases (though maybe it's explained later in the course dedicated to SQL!), I wouldn't change a thing beyond that.

Excellent course, learned much more when Nikki was talking versus the gentlemen in the videos. (I felt he went too fast and skipped over shortcuts Nikki discussed in her previous videos) I learned alot and recommend this to anyone getting back into using Excel or learning for the first time.

Excellent course. Thanks. The division into short units helps a lot to absorb the bowel efficiently and quickly. Repetition of concepts has assimilated them better into understanding. It would have been good if there were more options for the actual practice of tables, visualization and sql.
