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.

He starts from the very basics and explains everything that is important for a data analyst one by one. This way, you start learning with better foundations. The instructor is very sincere and natural, and explains everything in a fluent and understandable language. I highly recommend it.

the course is really amazing, the faculty is keen on helping us learn, even though the sessions are recorded you won't actually feel it that way, the interaction level is the best part about the course. there are a lot of small quizes in betweeen the recorded sessions and they help a lot.

I have been studying Data Analysis by my own for a while and I had the feeling that I wasn't having a correct global comprehension about the entire process.

This course paints the big picture of Data Analysis and provides great foundations to build all what's come next in the courses.

I like the process of this program. I am able to retain information by studying on my own and at my own pace. Thanks for giving, us types of students, the opportunity to learn without a classroom and teacher with a chalkboard. Not all of us learn the same way. Thanks Coursera and Google.

I learned a lot about data and what it means to be a data analyst. It is not only using software and deal with numbers like I thought before, you have much more responsibilities and you need to educate your brain about how to think to solve the problems. This course enlightened me a lot.
