Getting advice from Googlers working in the field adds value to this course. Week five should't be taken for granted. Also, the course challenge was an opportunity to explore ideas and ways to present data.

Was an excellent way to start with a Data Analytics course without having a background.

Guided activities were the best way to understand how to practically work on data in a practical scenario.
