El curso dice claramente que es de nivel principiante, pero es muy efectiva la manera en que se presenta la información y en como estratégicamente utilizan los cuestionarios para lograr que nosotros los estudiantes retengamos los aprendizajes, además de permitirnos repasar los conceptos a través de los glosarios proveídos. Realmente he aprendido y también he fortalecido mi interés por querer saber mas acerca del análisis de datos.

The course has been structured brillantly! It couldn't get better to start-off as a novice in the data analytics field than to start with this certification course. Tony has been amonsgt the best instructor I have ever come across. His way of conveying information keeps the student engaged, and the clarity with which he delivers modules is simply outstanding!

Kudos to the team at Google for bringing up this certification program!

It is a very educative and explanatory course on data analysis and the steps in data analysis. It also provides notable examples of real-life situations, that definitely help you understand the topic being discussed. The Quizzes and assessment also help you practice and retain the knowledge acquired. Overall, it is a great introductory course to data, and the data analysis process. I truly can't wait to see what lies ahead of me.

This foundational course has given me an overview of the responsibilities of a data analyst. It has given a sense of direction for the purpose of specializing in an area or sector. Spreadsheet, data cleansing, data analysis, data visualization, and SQL are the skills I've learned. I intend to delve further into these skills and build on the acquired knowledge that this program has offered me. I'm excited about the journey ahead.

I honestly thought I would hate having them talk about Data Analytics so generally. However, I really appreciated the way they discussed what Data Analytics was, how its different than data science, and discussed all the ways in which it is being applied throughout industry. I also really enjoy how they teach you how to "think" like a data analyst as well. Really valuable stuff and lots of diverse staff (another + in my book).

As a beginner in the Data Analytics field, this course was very simple. Simple in the way where, if you know NOTHING about data analytics, you will be okay! I was super nervous but each week was mapped out with videos, readings, testimonies from Googlers, and interactive activities that help you really understand the information. I would recommend this course if anyone is interested in diving into the world of data analytics.

When I started the course I did not know anything about what a data analyst do, I finished the course with more knowledge, more structured. The course was well conducted, it is very technical, but it is accessible, it is easy to follow, it gives the foundations to be a data analyst. The well-selected instructor explains and develops his program very well, I am excited to follow him. In general terms I liked the basic course.

Some of the terms are confusing because it seems like they're defined ambiguously in some cases, and then a bit differently in another area that has made it harder to know the exact answer. I really liked Tony, and the other people in the videos. At first I wanted to speed through them because I thought it was wasting time, but I realized they do quickly tie it to a topic. I feel like it was a very good introductory course!

This course gives you a glimpse of the DATA Analyst World. It will clarify all the doubts that we have about the term "DATA SCIENCE". It will show how we do data analysis in everyday life and what is the power of data in solving both micro and macro challanges in both personal and professional life.

This course shows you how to step into the data science world and use the unlimited power of DATA to see the future potentials.

The best course that I had passed. The course is introduction to Data Analyst specialization, but it provides the big-picture vision, full description with a lot practical examples, and without redundant theory. Of course, the technical tools, the notifications to email, the file templates to hands-on assignments, the video lessons and presentation are wonderful, useful and comfortable. I feel that I spent my time the best.

I really loved the way this course provided an overall view of where I could go and what I could do after completing the entire course. I think it is very important to help set vision and goals from the beginning to give online learners the ability to push through challenging times. Excited to see where I can put this information to use in my current life and what future opportunities it may bring as I enhance my skills.

The course content was excellent and focused on the basics, the foundation of any learning path. The quizzes and case studies were also good in level as they compelled me into thinking of different scenarios. However, I wish there could have been more business case studies in the assignments.

Thanks to all the Googlers who took the extra responsibility to make their knowledge and learnings reach out to the other learners.

I liked the way the content was presented for this course; it was very engaging, with varied mediums and approaches to getting the students engaged (there was a forum, written responses, multiple choice quizzes, the option to "like" and "dislike" content, etc.). I wished there were a few more videos and maybe some more animated visualizations though; I think the videos and tutorials really help to let the concepts sink in.

This course is a great way to understand what data analysts is. They help you understand basic knowledge what you need to know in data analyst world. They'll guide you step by step that you don't need any understanding about what you should know if you want to jump in this job field. As someone that take IBM data analyst course too, I recommend you to take this course instead (if you have zero knowledge about this field).

This course is everything I needed to make a move in my career, the flexibility offered by the program is amazing. The quality of the content and the clarity in the explanation is absolutely unbelievable. I am determined to continue and finish the entire program and see what opportunities this can open to me. I will also in the future continue with others certificates for my own knowledge and benefit.

Absolutely amazing.

It was a fascinating journey going through this course. Every step was so detailed and easy to understand that even someone with basic computing skills could opt for this course. I have a great deal of appreciation for our instructor, Tony, who accompanied us and motivated us throughout this journey and made it fun and exciting to learn everything. Looking forward to learn from our next instructor in the upcoming course!

Thank you to Google for giving me an opportunity to learn, which was a wonderful experience, and I benefited a lot from it, represented in the possibility of solving problems and developing work in scientific ways and means, even though I am Arabic and I am not fluent in English, but my insistence on taking lessons in English in order to learn language terminology English increased my love to learn the English language.

I really appreciated that this course had different types of learning such as reading, videos, reflection, and practice items. With the videos being short, I was never bored and all the speakers were easy to understand and listen to. I only wish there was more practice items as far as SQL was concerned but the course did provide links to places you could practice SQL and I'm assuming we'll learn more in another course.

This is an excellent course as it teaches you the complete basics of data analytics. For anyone starting in the field of data analysis it's a great course. One advice I would give to new learners, is to really learn and understand things. This course helped me open my mind in ways I didn't know I could. It teaches you to think like a data analyst and provides a stepping stone for further courses in this certification.

I am very satisfied with the course. In my case, the way the material is divided up (number of chapters vs the amount the information) and motivating to continue learning deserves special praise. The exams, called "challenges" are not overwhelming. In addition, the questions verify understanding of the issue and reward the ability to apply the information learned. Less frequently, they verify terminology and details.

Very nice, terrific "Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" : Actually, even not 100% sticking to my head now, comparing to beginning of this course, i feel i'm getting know to the concepts and how to proceed for data analysis process. I'll back here when i need to refresh what i had learned later. Many thanks to all instructors guiding us try to recognize the entrance of data analysis process. Best regards, Kevin Song ~

Сподобалася структура курса,бо я тільки починаю.З задоволенням виконувала завдання,вони були для розуміння професії,розкривали її суть, допомагаючи зрозуміти потрібні навички,заставили перевірити і переосмислити вибраних шлях.Мій рівень англійської мови поки що не дозволяю вільно користуватися курсом ,виконую завдання завдяки Google Перекладачу.Чекаю на продовження,ще багато чому треба навчитися.Дякую за можливість.
