Good course for newcomers and anyone exploring the posibility of a career change. Basic skills taught in this course include but are not limited to;

The five analytical skills The five key aspects of analytical thinking Data-driven decision making Phases of data analysis Stages of data life cycle Data visualization Basic spreadsheets and query languages Fairness when collecting and analyzing data

My only suggestion is to please provide feedback after quizzes if you pass without a perfect score! Sometimes I will get an answer wrong but have no idea why it is wrong. It is more effective for me to see the answer right there as opposed to having to go back and reread or watch material. I can see the question and answer and better understand what I got wrong, and also take note of it for later.

The course presents a very good overview of the concept of Data Analytics that relates theory to practice. The instructors present the content in a down-to-earth manner and brilliant language that anyone can understand. The curriculum is concentric and provides an opportunity, at every stage, to review and consolidate previously learnt concepts. Overall, it is an excellent course, and I loved it!

This is an excellent course for those who gets used to with data field. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of data analysis as well as required knowledge and skills for a data analyst career. For people who still wonder between the data analyst, data scientist and data engineer or any specific job of data field, you will learn the basic different approaches of these specific careers.

I very much enjoyed this introduction to Data Analytics! It taught me several things that I have considered, however, this course challenged me to think deeper and to consider even more. Something I would like to see improved would be to have some vehicle to ask questions and receive feedback to solidify concepts and clarify trouble areas. I am excited to continue my journey in Data Analytics!

It is an interesting course for a beginner like me. I find it so inspiring to take my first step in the journey of becoming an analyst.

The course was gentle (if that makes sense), which made it easy and fun to learn with no pressure.

I especially liked the host and special guests throughout the course. The constant host made it feel like we were on this journey together. Which was encouraging, and again, made learning fun!

A very gentle introduction into Data Analytics. I would think the ideal audience would be those who do not have any experience with this topic. Although I could have skipped this first course, I finished all of the course work because I wanted to see the quality of the instruction material. I was impressed. Looking forward to finishing the program and learning a few new things along the way.

This is my first online course, first time studying Data Analysis and also my first time completing an online course. I absolutely love the way the course has been structured - super interactive with short videos, interesting reading materials and quizzes to keep me going. I loved it and I'm looking forward to completing all the 8 courses in this series to kick start my career as a Data Analyst!

This course is a great beginning if you are stepping into your journey of data analysis.

Very basic and thorough. By which, I mean it is VERY approachable for anyone at any stage of life or career. It assumes a very clean slate of experience by the learner; however, it doesn't come of like it is geared toward kindergartners. It is broken down into niece bite sized and easy to digest portions that is effortless to build on. This is a truly approachable and achievable endeavor.

I am glad that i have completed this course effectively. The way of delivering every lessons meticulously and deligently. Thanks for the opportunity to grab this course and make me understand to be determined with Data analyst process. This course was really helpful to get insight of Data analyst tour and also i learned many analytical tools which build my skills and makes me more confident.

Thank you for this opportunity Google!

"Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" is a highly recommended course for anyone interested in understanding the power of data and how it drives decision-making across various industries. Its engaging content, practical approach, and meaningful insights make it a valuable asset for both beginners and experienced learners seeking to expand their knowledge of data analysis and its applications.

This course is an excellent starting point. The design and interactive teaching methods are well-done. Having multiple instructors was a valuable learning experience. The repetition of key course material was helpful in solidifying my understanding. The inclusion of self-reflection, quizzes, and graded assessments makes this course stand out among others in the same subject available online.

Tony was a great instructor. Got tons of knowledge and understanding about the DA world from this foundational course. The course was very inclusive of people and students being from any background and no matter what their experience in this field is. Learned a ton and feeling motivated to move forward and finish the rest of the course. Thanks to Tony again for being such a great instructor.

This course opened a lot of new insight about data analytics. What really touched my that instroctor made me feel that they empathize with me as a new learner of a language and tools. They not only eloquently explained the topics but here and there they incorporated their personal experience in the data analytics too. Basic of Data analytics are very much cler in my mind after this course.

Wonderful beginner's course! Was very thorough and I felt comfortable as a beginner. I was able to follow along easily and it was nice to go at my own pace. I would recommend this course to anyone just starting out in the data analysis field, or with little knowledge of it. The course touches on some basics while preparing you for the next courses in the series. I enjoyed it very much.

Its very elaborate, hands on and the practical application of what you learn is very effective and brings one to want to learn more. Toney the primary instructor too is very easy to understand and good at capturing and keeping the attention on himself and what he has to say. I would advise anyone to take part of this course as it is the future and google has made it very easy to understand.

The course gave me a good understanding of data analysis and the phases of the analysis process.

Working through the data journal and reading tasks helped me to vary and assimilate information. I will be able to apply the exercise at work when I'll run any analysis.

The course is a very basic level though which could be time-consuming for someone that does spreadsheet work on a daily basis.

I enjoyed this course! I was skeptical about online learning, but I felt prepared for every couse chanllege I took. I love that the challenges are open book and that the format of the course mixes it up by videos, readings, and activities. It feels like actual school work, rather than just online school (in a good way!). Also, loved the course insturctor.

I felt motivated to keeping going!

My first step in to Data World. This is all I expect from the course. Course 1 already guided me to understand variety of new concept of Database, SQL, Data Life Cycle, Data Analysis Process. It's abundantly helpful especially for me - the newcomer of Data Analytics. From this milestone, I hope I keep motivation to step foward and become a real data analyst. Thank you ,Google and Coursera!

Really helpful content with very nice structure! Just the 2 questions I first missed on the course challenge, weren't really discussed in the material:

- Data visualization: different types of graphs, how and where to use them.

- More details on what exactly you would do to clean up the data when processing it. The content mentions the goal, but never really the steps or what you would do.
