Good foundation. Never gets too complicated so if you're a beginner it gives you confidence to continue. For more advanced learners it's a good primer and can help you understand foundations for things you never thought about.

The only thing I would change would be to go over more types of charts and their meanings. With examples as well. I believe the visualization and cleaning data phases were the only ones I think could have went into more detail.

Great course so far. My only regret was I didn't start a year ago when I first discovered it. Week 3 is when I finally understood what Data Analytics truly was. I'm looking forward to completing this course, sooner than later.

It explained the concept very clearly and the instructor was so informative and clear. The spiral approach in explaining the main ideas through the elements of the course was so helpful and made the ideas stick in the memory.

Great intro. Plenty of good examples. I have been doing a lot of this work for many years, but this course is great for filling in any gaps for the self-taught data analysts out there (advanced excel; csv data hacks). Thanks.
