Solid "big picture" refresher course before getting into the more technical stuff I'm sure down the road, even for folks with backgrounds in math and science but haven't used it years (okay, decades).

I am extremely amazed how elaborative this course was. It was one of the best online learning experience for me. There is so much covered in this course but it was all so subtle that you do not feel like you are bieng pushed to move forward. Infact, it was made so interesting that you keep moving with the flow, all the while effectively absorbing everything. Great Job team Google.

Finally, I'd like to express my gratitude to all of the teachers who contributed to this resource. This is the most comprehensive data analytics course I've ever taken. While getting the correct answer after a quiz is fantastic, it would be even better if the following line included a link to the information, when answer is incorrect, as some of the answers were difficult to find.

I could not believe how important this course has been. It was more than just a refresher of the basics but helped me building the mindset of how data is been viewed by analysts and the stories of different people of how they viewed data in life ignited my passion for data analysis. It has been the right decision to opt for this course and is more than what I initially expected.

The information in this course is very thorough. This is my first time learning about data analyst and everything in the course is written or shared in a way that helps with understanding all the important processes and terms in this field. Also, having reflection writings and completing different exercises related to data analyst really helps you to experience it hands on.

I did not expect it to be this great! As a transitionist (academe to data science), the things I have learn here is very helpful. The course does not only talk about the subject matter (data analytics) but it also provide information on how to start and build a career in data science. This portion is usually left out in most courses as they only focus on data analytics topics.

It was a good introductory course, teaching me a data analyst's mindset and key concepts that a data analyst should know and apply to their works. I think 5 week is too long for this course, giving 2 hours a day is enough to complete it in one week. Overall, I am happy with the course and thank you for everyone involved in this for their time and effort. Keep up the good work!

Provide you good understanding on data collection and analysis. Also touch on a little bit on SQL.

The course is relatively easy for me, probably only provides 20% of new knowledge to me, as my previously work experience requires to read data and make data driven decisions. If you previous professional experience has nothing to do with data this may be helpful course to take!

The course gave me excellent insight into what Data Analysis entails, what it means to be a Data Analyst, the kind of business problems I can help solve, and the impact I can have on people's lives (which is so important!). It also gives you some great advice on how to look for your first Data Analytics job and the things to keep in mind, which I found quite helpful as well.

This course gave a broad explanation of Data Analysis and went in depth on the steps, procedures, and ethics of analizing data. For somebody like me, who never knew anything about Data Analysis and hasn't worked with databases and spreadsheets, this course helped me understand core skills I would need to learn more about various tools and steps of being a Junior Data Analyst.

A great introduction to the fundamentals of Data analytics. The course gave a basic introduction of what a data analyst is, what are the skills that an analyst would require and what are the opportunities available for a Data analyst. The course does not require any background knowledge or experience related to Programming or Analytics. A must recommended course for beginners

As someone with little to no prior knowledge of data analysis, this course was amazing. It was incredibly thought out and easy to understand. When certain processes' were being explained and when they "clicked" for me in my head I got a sense of excitement I haven't had in a long time. I'm overwhelmingly eager to continue on and acquire gainful employment as a data analyst.
