Provided a good introduction to the topic and the final project was good practice of applying the course material to a real life case.

The course is helpful in providing a basic introduction to how data can drive better decision making in real business context. It provides a basic introduction to various tools and techniques. The best part is the final submission in 4th week which ensures learning from the entire course.

A possible area of improvement is including more case study discussions during the course which help understand what kinds of tools and techniques should be used in which scenarios. Currently the course devotes very less time to this aspect.

Good introduction to the topic, provides a high level overview of data-analytics and visualisation and their importance in the work place. After this course I'm inspired to dive further into the field and looking forward to PwC's follow up courses in the specialisation.

Good intro course.

Great insight.

A great introduction course which tells you how can you use the data to drive exciting insights and to drive a faster, consistent and right decision.

This course has a very high production value, and offers a fairly comprehensive introduction to the world of data, but sacrifices depth in exchange for breadth. Thus, unless you are entirely new to data work as it exists today, significant portions will be review. That said, filling in the foundations is crucial to building your understanding of more complex topics outside the course.

A good introduction to Data Analytics.Definitely recommended for beginners with no prior experience.

Good introduction to Data Analytics - Looking to forward to completing the specialization

I loved the course overall, and I thought it was the right amount of information for an initial course in a subject. My only complaint is with the final project/peer review system. Full disclosure, this is my first experience with that, but I wish I had more of a heads up of what to expect.

It is a good course for beginners, but coursera database has free courses that go much deeper without payment.

Its a good start for people who want to start their career with data & analytics

A good high level insight of Data and Analytics area

Good course for beginners.

I think if more detailed examples and elaboration can go through, the learning curve can have more significant enhancement.

Too many concepts and high level introductions. Could be better just combine it to the course 2

The lecture video is invincible, while the exam and peer review could have somewhat improve in terms of the interaction. Detailed explain will be helpful, since it can serve as a feedback for students to check whether they answer is really right or they simply answer at a guess. Peer review may require students write down suggestions. I take the business metrics from Duke Univ and they do have this section which I think help me reflects more on the case study.

Good intro to Data Analytics

firstly this course would seem not effective but the moment it reaches to projects then you will feel the importance as it develops approach towards analysis

Good general overview and introductory to analytics and procedures.

This topic is really interesting and definitely will help any professional to apply a better decision-making process to daily and strategic duties

Good overview of data-analysis and interesting the final project to put into practice the whole course

For beginners it is really helpful. Liked the structure of the course and topics covered. I was able to apply things taught over 3 weeks to the final assignment. Would definitely recommend doing it if one is interested in knowing the fundamentals for Data-driven Decision Making.

Awesome course. A very good course to introduce a new learner into the 'world' of Big Data.

good overview of data analytics and data presentation.
