Arguably one of the more interesting parts of this Career Path, focused on Data Ethics and structuring. You won`t be getting your hands dirty with a lot of programming/analysis here, but you`ll learn some important things that only professionals consider.

The instructor is excellent. The only problems I encountered were related to Kaggle and BigQuery so I can't fault them. It's best to use Sandbox if you don't have at least a dollar in your account . The Google Cloud trial is not entirely free at first.

I liked the presentors style. She didn't make it too remedial or too hard. I wish the course moved a little faster, but better this than to not understand things, especially in a remote scenario. Her jokes made it fun since she didn't belabor them.

I had never worked with data at such high levels. It was an enriching experience because now I can organize, separate, classify data and process it safely. Putting into use the rules and specifications of the organization to which I provide services.

Enjoyed a lot. Data bias, data credibility, types of data, sorting and filtering of data and many more things were learned. Suggest new users take up this part of the Professional certificate a bit slowly if you don't have prior knowledge about data.

Coursera allows me the space to make mistakes, directs me to previous learnings to go back to in my modules so that I can soak things up again to succeed. The course has been very digestible and really a great opportunity to expand my learnings
