This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

I really love the course content, and the way it is designed to teach a newbie like me from scratch. It tries to cover all the aspect of the Data Analytics introduction and the uses of it in real life. I am satisfied with the information they are providing to match the learnings with the job market and the job titles so that I will be able to identify the right job for me, prepare for that and confidently apply for that. Thank you google for creating this course.

I really enjoyed this course. Tony was clear, informative and pleasant. I learned a lot. I also discovered there was more to being a Data Analyst than just getting answers from data. I had no idea about being like a detective to be asking the right questions or having to be responsible for fairness and not reinforcing biases. I was wondering if I would be able to get that right. But the AI Coach was helpful and let me realize I was getting a handle on that part.

I honestly hadn't expected this course to transform the way I viewed data analysis and the role that data analysts play in the success of organizations, but it has! And now more than ever, I know this is the road I want to travel! The course makes it so easy to take in the information in bite size chunks, with speakers that make the informatin relatible and interesting. This course has exceeded my expectations and I look forward to continuting to study further!

I loved this course! Data is not something I have a foundation with, so I was intimidated prior to starting the course. I am not ready to learn more in-depth information on spreadsheets, SQL, presentation tools, Tableau, RStudio, and Kaggle! Instructors ae down-to-earth and relatable. Course content is detailed. Readings and course content is digestible and easy to understand. Assessments are written as to ensure you have completed and understand the readings.

Overall, I appreciate the approach. Very helpful and learning-intended. Having said that, I learned a lot. Even, when you say "Oh I know that!" or "I already know that!" This course puts the concepts in a better perspective and therefore teaches us to use DATA to make our world a better place to live.

I recommend this course to everyone, anyone, for either professional or personal purposes. This course will help improve your outlook and how you will do things.

This course was so interesting and really led me down a rabbit hole of data analytics. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but the foundations course got me excited about what's to come in the next course for the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. Everything was easy to understand and, despite working full-time, I was able to complete the course in less than a week. My favorite part was exploring a bit of SQL; I can't wait to learn more!

This course was very insightful and knowledgeable . I like the way it is structured and provide great insight on the information that was presented. The only take away was the intro to Qwiklabs Video. It needs to be a little more detail in informing the students it is just a how to on opening and closing the Qwiklabs and not the beginning or introduction to completing the labs. Beside that it was phenomenal and I cant wait to continue on to the other courses.

I have not had work for the last eight months, and every job I tried to apply was asking for some kind of experience. I heard about the program from one of my children and decided to give it a try. The instructor gives you a lot of information to watch and jot down that is very helpful. I am able to put the data analyst certificate on my resume. It took me seventeen days to complete, but then again I am an empty nester and with no job. I highly reccommend

oooof, it was a really great experience with the Coursera team. It was a really professional team and the whole program was a sponsor. In this regard, I cannot help but extend my sincere thanks to all the team responsible for this rich program, as well as all the sponsors of Google and the Coursera Foundation for this effort and the support it provides to all groups from different regions of the world.

Thank you very much, and I hope to be in the next lessons.

So far so good. A very good introductory course data analytics. I have a graduate degree from data analytics and I found a lot of things that either I forgot or learned just now. Anybody who has a zero understanding of data analytics can take this course, learn about what is expected from them as a data analyst (not analytics) in the future.

My main concern usually with this type of courses is the quality of videos. And THE QUALITY IS REALLY GOOD for this one!

A new world full of passion, taught me how to deal with problems, and most importantly, what is the right question, and where is the problem, my vision is totally different from things, it helps me using my mind to understand what is going on , and to understand more and more, and that saves me a lot of time, and it gives me a better insight, expecting more and more information that will help me become a successful data analyst through this great program .

Good foundation for understanding the basics of data. This course provides good strategy and mindset in order to deal with data appropriately and fairly. The videos aren't too long and there's a bit of reading but I appreciate the resources (free) they provide. Overall would recommend to anyone who wants to learn data analysis even if you don't have a background or experience in it. This is a great start, in my opinion, to understand and appreciate data.

This was a really helpful overview couse, it gave a lot more insight into the process of data analysis, and taking us behind the scenes and what critical thinking decisions were essential to work through that process. At times the quiz questions were a bit vague, and I think the lessons could've provided better insight into them, especially with the data visualization/charts. But I definitely would recommend the course. It was a great foundational intro.

I am SO excited that I took this course! I was so hesitant at first, I really wanted to learn more about data analytics but the thought of taking a class kind of freaked me out. After only a couple of lessons in the first course, I felt so comfortable and way more confident. Now that I have taken this course, I will keep taking other courses in Coursera. I am so thankful for this opportunity and strongly encourage anyone to take courses through Coursera!

This course is easy to follow. The video instructions and reading materials are compact yet insightful. Then the quiz with real life scenario also push me to think like the way data analyst think. This course also makes me more confident to follow up the next course.

Thank you coursera and google to provide me this course for free because of your financial ad. I really appreciate it because I really want to be the data analyst as soon as possible I could.

Great course for beginner in data analytics! The explanation is easy to understand, the trainers are encouraging, and I love how the Google team invited those who work in data analytics to share about their experiences being an analyst. The best part is you don't need to have a prior knowledge to data analytics to start this course. Highly recommend this course for anyone interested in data analytics and confuse on where to start. Here's your start line!

I was very excited to be starting the course, and became even more excited though the course with positive, encouraging instruction. The quizzes were great, in that I had to think as an analyst with the trained, structured processes to determine where I was and where I need to be for effective analyses.

I understand this is an introduction to the more specialized courses that will follow. Of course, Google creates a great course, and Coursera gives hope.
