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).

Great work, the courses were clear and concise. The quizzes were right on point and not too overwhelming. The length of the videos was on point. If I had to say something negative, I would just point out that sometimes it can take a considerable time to answer the questions, however, it is by taking the time that we learn. Thanks a lot, Tony and the Google Team. Georges HENG

Good for an introduction. Many terms and steps are very subjective; they give a good structure for those who have never done any data analysis and could fill in gaps if you work differently—overall good course, clear and easy to understand. If you are already familiar with data analysis, you can very easily do all quizzes. Some might require to double-check a lecture or two.

I must say, it starts at the very basics and they take their time in teaching you the foundations which was very insightful. As a beginner to Data analysis ,it is made easier to understand what and how it works. I took my time in understanding everything i could since this is the basics to what a data is and i suggest you do not rush this if you are just start out as well.

I believe this course is designed for beginners. One notable aspect is that it is taught by Google employees, which I find to be an excellent approach. Google's decision to have its own employees as instructors adds significant value to the course. The expertise and real-world experience they bring to the table contribute to a high-quality learning experience . keep it up

This is what i was looking for, a strong foundational building of what the overall program was going to be about and some really insights into why Data Analysis is important. It also starts off in a way that allows someone completely knew, or thinking about getting into this field, a view into what its all about and helps them discover is this is the right path for them.

It does a great job showing the world of data analysis to someone who does not know about it. Even for people a little experienced with data like me ( in a geology college background) is very useful to understand the big step you're taking. It nails as a preparatory course for the rest of the program. I'm excited to continuing this journey. Thanks Google and Coursera.

This is a well designed, well thought out course which had lots of information that I can, through experience, confirm. It has been a few years since I actively worked on any business data projects, and this course had me feeling like I was back on a work-team, getting answers that the business needs! I look forward to continuing to learn as I move on to Module 2....

What I enjoyed about this course is the personal stories of the trainers and the explanation that some companies have a variations of key terms. The personal stories ground the training and give me the inspiration to continue, while the explanation of variations on the the data life cycle or the analytical processes helps to clarify the commonalities across approaches.

This course helped me to understand about the general view of data. What are they used for, in what ways we can use them and how to look and think what are the insights that we are getting from the data. There will always be questions that we need to ask ourselves about the data that we want to analyze. Overall, it is a good experience to understand the basic first.

The class was very informative and basic. I liked that they broke the data analytics process down to six different phases, which gave me a clear structure of the procedures a data analyst would go through when handed an assignment. I found the format of this class to be engaging and interesting. The stories shared by Google employees were relevant and informational.

Excellent introduction to the core concepts around data analysis, as well as a great review for anyone who has already had an introduction. It really breaks everything down into bite size pieces and introduces each concept in small portions so you don't get overwhelmed. It's also really encouraging to hear from employees at Google and get to know their experiences.
