This is my first exposure to DA and thus far it has been eye opening. It is nothing like what I thought it would be. I thought it was just spreadsheets and visualizations with hours of nerd work. I have come to find out that it is creative, collaborative, and employs a variety of skills. It is interesting, fascinating, and a journey for sure. I am looking forward to gaining the skills I need to have a long lasting and meaningful career in this exploding industry!

El primer curso me resulto atrapante en todo momento. Me intrigaba desde un principio saber de qué se trataba ya que siempre escucho hablar de de datos, analisis, encuestas, etc, en internet, pero no tenia idea de lo que se trataba. A través de videos y lecturas muy bien realizados tal cual lo dice en la información del curso: hecho para principiantes, he logrado comprender y aprender conceptos y procesos que a través de los cursos venideros espero ir profundizando.

Thank you so much for this course! I'm impressed with how much information and access I had during this time.

I would mention that there were a couple parts of the spreadsheets activity in which the questions asked during the assessments were not relatable to what was covered on the activities and learning modules. Perhaps, for people that aren't familiar with spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel), an additional activity could be utilized to go over basics.

I'm currently considering a career change and I was hesitant about making a move towards data analysis as I thought I could easily be too old and too dumb for analysis. This introductory course, getting to have a broad picture of what it is about and what I will need to learn, getting to try out new tools and, especially, finding out that I could actually understand more than expected has made me change my mind and given me a push to carry on. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic introduction to Data Analytics, taught by a diverse and knowledgeable group. Great pacing and a well rounded mix of videos, reading, community participation, and testing. The bonus content outside of the course was informative and helpful. I especially like the coverage of what a career in DA looks like, instead of just focusing on the skillset, this will save a lot of people time since they can find the path that best fits their interest and personality.

Nothing short of great. Especially, the mentor. He's not only good in explaining the topics, he is a great speaker too. The lessons were easy to understand though, at instances due to my limited vocab and sometimes, lack of understanding posed a challenge. We managed to steer off and make it this far. My thanks to Google for this iniatiative. I have found something which would aid me on my way to my dream. I want to complete the specialization and hope that I can!

Most of the content is more focused on establishing fundamental concepts. It would be better to finish reading everything within two days rather than following the weekly schedule outlined in the course.

There are many reflective exercises in between, and some of the content may be unclear for beginners. Just take a look and don't take it too seriously. Consider it as supplementary knowledge, and you can always come back to understand it later when needed for work.

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.

The best Data Analaytics foundation course.

The speakers are inspiring tutors and have great teaching skiils.

This course made me realized that I am already involved in data analytics in so many ways , I initailly I thought it was all about Database Management . Due to this course , I am now able to develop a good mid career goals.

Thank you Google Analytics Team for developing this program.

Well appreciated.

Thanks

I am not too experienced with online schools, or any data analysis background or understanding. But this course was made in a manner which was properly structured and very clear and consise with the information needed to earn the certificate. I can say with confidence that I would recommend this course to anyone who wanted to ingress into any new field or study, in fact for my upgrade to data science, I will definitly consider coursera for their degrees as well!

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 just wanted to express my appreciation for the incredible learning experience I had with the course instructors. Their detailed and step-by-step approach to teaching the material was impressive. The course structure was well-planned, with each lesson building on the previous one, making it easy to follow along and understand. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire program. Thank you for a fantastic learning journey.

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!

Hi All , This certificate program was designed to provide learners with the skills and knowledge needed to start a career in data analysis. The program included a series of courses covering various aspects of data analysis, including data collection, data cleaning, data visualization, and data analysis using tools like Google Sheets. I highly recommend google analytics program and coursera platform for all who have interest around learn something new....

It was exceptional from the fundamentals of data to fairness of data usage and practice has been fantastic. Thankyou coursera for providing me with the aid. Really appreciate the depth in which each topic has been covered from the basics with in depth insights. The instructor Mr.Tony Francis was very friendly and smiling while explaining each topic which made me relaxed to learn and take notes.Thank you Mr.Tony and coursera and google for making this happen.

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.
