Very good introduction to Data Analytics and leans slightly into the start of Data Science. Helped me understand why the fields are so diverse in different terms while teaching me how the correct approach to a project/task that would include Data and it's Analysis. Thank you Google and the teams that created the content, much appreciated and looking forward to the remaining courses (7 at the time of writing).

This is a fantastic start to a data analysis course. I have taken a few different courses so far. This one stood out in how the instructors motivate and encourage learning. They make you feel like you can do it. And there is a lot of substance to this course as well. You'll learn the basics of SQL, spreadsheets, and what questions to ask when starting a data analysis project. Overall, a great starting course!

Great introduction into the field of data analytics. Introduces the basic concepts needed to excel in the career, and touches upon the skills that would help kickstart your career into such jobs. Would highly recommend for those interested in data analytics and curious to see what they will be getting themselves into. Also ties in with the other courses part of the Google Data Analytics Certification program.

It's a great initiation by Google and Coursera and I appreciate it. It is a great learning experience with videos, readings, Learning Log, discussion forum. This course is easy to access and learning. I enjoy it a lot with the course. And its wonderful chance to complete Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate skills that will have job-ready in less than 6 months with no degree or experience required.

I say thank you to the staff of coursera who put this platform to students and interested in taking online courses and obtaining certificates. I say thank you to the teaching staff for the data analysis. I learned a lot, I believe that I am able to do analyzes on any data. Thank you to you who allowed me to take this course and I hope that I will have the opportunity to take other courses on this platform

I thought "Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" provided a very gentle entry into data analysis and provided a good overview of the process and potential pitfalls. This course would be completely suitable general overview or review for many job positions that have a lot of analysis as part of the job, without getting into the technical weeds. Examples: customer success, technical support, and even managers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was a great introduction to the world of Data Analytics. It went slow enough to keep track of the concepts being explained without having to rush, but I could fast forward if I needed to. Tossed in with some basic level technical learning like Spreadsheets and a taste of SQL coding, it helped me get more motivated on what's to come without going in blind and overwhelmed.

Course is amazing! I had pre interview last week and it was first time in my life for this branche. They sent me a link for some coding game program. The quiz method was almost the same which i had when I had at the and of first chapter of this course. Amazing! I am feeling that i am getting everyday more close to be Data Analyst. That makes me happy. Thanks for everybody who helped to create this course.

This course was one of the most valuable courses that I did. I liked the way of delivering the information. Actually, one of the hardest things we suffer from is that most institutes don't take care of the psychological part of the course and in this one I saw a high quality technique of delivering the information in a way full of suppport and excitment.

Thank you very much for your efforts and knowledge

It is a great introductory course which lights up the path for me, and lets me understand the importance of data and how it drives changes in different industries. this course helps me understand why data is so important in our life and its impact on decision making, how data analytics affect in real life, and it gives me an idea of what is next in each of the subsequent courses clearly thanks Tony a lot

An absolute gem of Instruction to start with!!!

Rather than directly deep diving into tools necessary ,the important aspects of how should a data analyst be is given preference here ,this really helps how to view the data world in a broader sense. This also highlights qualities of Data Analyst ,life cycle of data etc. It was a revelation to really get a perspective on how to be thinking like a Data Analyst

The course is comprehensive and relatable. If your current position requires you to use spreadsheets, SQL, or design surveys this will be basic information that you can easily skip over. However, if you want a refresher or a more generalized view of the what data analytics looks like, this isn't a bad place to start. It's also far more engaging than LinkedIn Learning courses with similar career pathways.

It was just the first introduction, but it made me feel welcome immediately. I went on discussion forums and found people that were posting within minutes of when I posted like we were in class at the same time. It was easy to understand and fun to do spreadsheet and SQL work. The quizzes were easy, but I definitely had to take notes. The Googlers were all great teachers and ambassadors for this course.

Such a great experience to learn in this course, this is the first time I found a wonderful institute who gave the participants in this course a good facility such as financial aid. It's really giving every learner more interest to explore what they want to learn. Keep up and make it easy to educate everyone and everywhere.  Hopefully this course always supports those who want to explore something here.

It is a great course. What I like the most are both the self-reflection and study case. That's what I need, doing a case study directly after I got the theory. It would be nothing if you jus watching the video without practicing. This course allows me think in real life cases so that I could implement the framework as a data analyst to analyze the data from ask, prepare, process, analyze, share, and act.

even though I practice the art of data analysis almost daily in my job. This course by itself opened my eyes to the in depth procecess that go into the science of data analysis. I am looking forward to the rest of the courses; This course was very well put together, challenging in that it made think deeper inside my thought patterns to answer the questions. All in all, just makes me better all around.

There are lots learn about the data.

Instructor – Tony is explain all points deeply.

Discussion Prompt section is very useful for office conversation.

Data is main part of Analysts.

I learn the simple basic concept of gather data from daily roughten work,needs, momenets and make questionaries of them.

From starting concept of Discussion Prompt: Meet And Greet boosted my interest about do this Traneeship.

The best course I ever done, I like the instructor Tony very much, videos are short, there is a reading part which is useful, plus the glossary. The quiz questions are not difficult to answer if you understand the topics. There is a lot of repetition which helps with the retention of the information. There is time and tools to use the knowledge. Great introduction to SQL! Thank you, Tony and the team!

Google data analytics certification program deserves the 5 star rating because of its quality and comprehensive nature. Lectures are well delivered and points beautifully driven home. The courses are masterly designed and knowledge masterly imparted in such a way that it sticks. Data driven approach can be seen employed in every module of the course, thus making it practical oriented and interesting.

I really don't know what to say, this is the first time for me to complete an online course, your teaching methods really are mind blowing, you know when to add a motivation video, and how to keep the learner exaited to learn more. I`m really speachless now, I can`t thank you enugh, especially for theses 2 topics contents 1.Data analyst roles and job descriptions. 2. Samah: Interview best practices

Thank you so much for this well thought and well presented introductory course. It was extremely well-structured, the content was meaningful and the materials just about right: very engaging, containing several additional resources and the option to collect everything in our Drive. Looking forward to the rest of the courses and completing the certificate. So many ideas about future projects already!

I really like the way they started with very basics of everything and having quizzes in between keep the momentum up! :) Though it seems to be very simple in the start but gaining 100% in the quizzes will surely boost up the moral.(Who don't like to score 100% ;-) ). This course will surely motivates and help increase curiosity in each and everyone who is going to opt for this course. THANK YOU Tony!

This was a wonderful introduction to Data Analytics. It really helped get me excited to learn more about the world of data analysis. I had done some research on my own before choosing this course and this intro definitely helped me understand exactly what I was getting into. It's a lot of work, but if you're passionate about data it will all be worth it once you are finished with the entire program.

The course is the foundation to understand what is data and what is Data Analysis It has been broken down into pieces and taught so well, that I took 2 weekends to complete this course (Just 4 days). The fact that I was already a bit aware of spreadsheets, queries, etc. helped me increase the pace. However, the course is still very easily doable, and creates an enthusiasm to learn more in the field.

This course was an eye opener for me as it concerns data analysis, a field I am so passionate about. I really got to learn more as regards data and how it is analyzed. The lectures and activities were very helpful in shaping my thoughts in this great field. I am set to be an analytic and still open to learning more. Thanks Tony and every other contributors, looking forward to continue this program.
