I feel empowered, Thank you for the opportunity.

I am a Data Scientist but I am not practicing because I don't feel that my knowledge was proficient. This course give me the baseline I was lacking.

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 was very impressed with the information delivery of the course and how the flow helped with making the understanding f the material easier and more interesting to learn . I would definitely say a job well done especially designing the course in a way to invoke enthusiasm for further learning. Bravo!

The only critique I found was , in my individual opinion , i would have wanted to have more opportunity to practice technical skill like excel and SQL, and would have loved to have more exercises to practice more . but in hindsight that could be due to oppurtunity to do so in the further courses.

This is a good course for "data" beginners like me. It layed a foundation for what's about to come. As a full time worker, I like going at my own speed and at times convenient for me. The facilitators keep you optimistic.

If I could change anything it would be to have numerouse practice worksheets for Excel and SQL. The worksheets would be like the ones in the quizzes. I would feel a lot more comfortable if I could practice. This is how I learned statistics, algebra and math problems - practice, practice, practice. However, my guess is there will be an opportunity to do this moving forward.

I'm very impressed with how thorough and well-thought out this course is! So far it is living up to all the hype that I've heard about the program. I'm relieved to see how in-depth the first course is, too. Having zero background makes me nervous about learning the skills I'll need for an entry-level job as a data analyst, but the course is perfectly paced for a beginner with lots of affirming checkpoints, quizzes, and content to ensure that I'm really absorbing what I've learned so far. It's genuinely helpful so I feel like I've made the right choice in committing to this certificate.

It was very interesting to understand the first steps to Data Analytics. The course focuses on teaching you how to be and think analytically, not only by showing you everyday examples, but giving you tasks to help develop your analytical skills. I think it very good to introduce you to the analytics world. However, it's also very good to understand if this field is for you. Consider this course as the first step of this process, but mostly understand that this course is only introductory, I believe that in the next courses I will learn more about how the real deal is all about.

The course was fun and intellectually stimulating. I hope to continue on this journey by learning new skills everyday.

This program taught me a profound understanding of data analysis techniques, tools, and technologies, which will allow me to make better data-driven decisions in everyday life.

Most importantly, this preliminary program has allowed me to develop a basic understanding of SQL and Data Visualization using Tableau. As a result, attaining a certificate from Google is a valuable accomplishment that will motivate me to incessantly pursue this new journey till it ends

This course completely changed my perspective in data analytics, I was teached really valuable things tat other courses didn't, the teacher was engaging and gave us a lot of value, this course teached and changed my perspective on data anlysis.

Before I had done other Data analysis certifications but had no Idea what an analyst did, only knew r and tableau (I had no knowledge on what I was going to be doing at my work and the skills necessary for it) I think this is the starting point I should have taken and would recommend for everyone, it is the best course I have ever had.

Very detailed and very beginner friendly. You really are introduced to the scope of being a data analyst from the get-go. With just that first course you are already on your way to your comfort as regards data literacy. This is a course for the analytical minded one like me who never could organize our thought process when it comes to data. This course made me realize how valuable my analytical mindset was. If you are curious, problem-oriented and detail-oriented, this path is for you. I cannot wait to discover what the whole certificate program has to offer. Great course!

Some of the questions on the weekly and course challenges require deductions that are not explained in the suggested feedback. For example the feedback for the following question is not clear. I know this has to do with stakeholders but there is no section on "key people data analysts work with" so it is hard to find the right section to review.

The people who are familiar with a problem and help verify the results of data analysis include customers and competitors.

0 / 1 point

True

False

Incorrect

Review the section on the key people data analysts work with for a refresher.
