Not a fan of the peer review. The first time I submitted the assignment, I had all the points/answers laid out in detail but the reviewer still docked points.

Kept losing focus through some videos since it got monotonous at one time I'll also blame my short attention span. Introduce more case studies, they help alot.

Great course, but poor peer review. Grading varies wildly depending on your review, and because of that people copy and paste answers after initial submisison

It is a good course as a beginner, but may be a bit too basic for someone who already has experiences in the field. But interesting and useful nonetheless!

A lot of definitions that are probably more relevant to those early or pre-career. But I can see the value to those without any corporate experience.

The course adequately introduces learners to the field of Data Analytics. What could be improved is the quality of questions employed in Quizzes.

Very theoretical with few use case studies. Yet was very informative and was like a wholesome beginner capsule (short yet thorough foundation)!

Good intro module but needs more interaction throughout. Engage during the learning rather than just a mini test at the end of some videos.

The final exam questions 1 and 2 were confusing. Instead of asking for data points, the test should have asked for attributes or fields.

It's a good intro to Data Analytics, however there are a lot of materials which are very very broad and which don't bring so much value.
