The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

great course setup. I identified with the premise of non bias observation. I personally had pronoun identifiers causing confusion. I did 3 years of english under Mrs. Atnip. West Mecklenburg High School. 1987 Era. quantifiable data. The inclusiveness descripitors are confusing to Me. I surmise The carriculum may ostracise indivudualism. Most of the descriptive identifying pronouns for the student have been removed? very confusing to try to retrain that mental linkage. Your course wants individualism under the guise of an umbrella of inclusiveness.Those are opposing views. I can peform the mental acuity definners. I am concerned that I will be wasting my my efforts, because I may choose to self indentify as ME. I would like a response. I, ME, Myself And I, would like to be able to differentiate the descriptors required, as required for course completion, Rayhack926@gmail.com. I think this is a setup for failure. I will move forward, until I recieve an answer to confirm or deny my suspicions. For now .25 stars. not 1 or 5. If you want real data, you have to be willing to accept more than 1or 5, and I can only give you 5 answers, which will skew the data in your favor. all less than 1 is = to !1? not fair data collection....bias already included

This is a very boring course, it is not clear what it is focused on. There is very little useful information, the video is again just talking heads without supporting video materials. The spreadsheet interface being demonstrated is outdated and this only adds to the frustration. A company like Google can't update its own course? It feels like the course is made for show without the slightest understanding of how to teach people and without respect for the time of their own students. I understand that the course is for beginners, but to teach how to make the column names bold and colored... Don't you think that if people were able to register on Coursera and want to work as data analysts, they have basic computer literacy? Bottom line: a boring and useless course, a waste of time. Something useful is only in the 3rd module.

To be quite honest, I was a bit confused during most of the course. We dedicated a very small part to the Ask Questions part of the course and I found that the quality of some of the tutorials as well as the structure of the course lacked of relevance. I had to go back an forth through my notes to make sense of some of the sections. From my point of view, this was all scattered and made it harder to follow through. I was actually in a rush to finish it, I enjoyed the Previous one in the Google Data Analytics Certificate a lot more and I am sure I will enjoy the rest, but this one had outdated information, non relevant parts and I think it can do with a little upgrading and re-structuring.

I was incredibly disappointed by this course, which said it covered Excel, but was SO incredibly basic. It didn't go into detail at all about how to utilize functions and formulas in excel, and had Zero in-depth exercises on them. There was even a whole section about incredibly basic stuff like "show up to meetings on time" and "proofread all of your emails". Please don't waste my time with a whole week of "tips" like that when it only spent a couple hours on how to utilize spreadsheets. I came away from this course having learned nothing. I wish I had skipped this course entirely.
