Case study is absolutely helpful and gives us a chance to apply what we learnt throughout the program, the design and structure of the module is good, especially adding the interview skills that usually not other data science course will include, it's practical and useful for us. The only downside is the publishing of the portfolio online, I realized it's not a common practice that using Rmarkdown to publish the case study on Kaggle, given the lack of details on how to add the portfolio to Kaggle in this module (the current hands-on activity step-by-step is outdated because Kaggle changed their interface many times already) so I tried to look up myself online, but information on how to do it is very rare. I checked the program discussion forum and found quite a lot of students had the same issues but no one seems to care and let them know how to do it. Their issues are basically either the parse error or the data file directory location. Also the discussion forum is totally not user friendly and very difficult to look for the topics you'd like to know, when I typed one topic in the search box, the search results can show the same threads for several pages. I'm disappointed to the lack of support in the forum.

The level of this course is very low. It contains a lot of supposedly motivating repetitions. The things which are taught are not sufficient to finish the capstone project in the last course. Worse, the taught strategy turned out to totally not help for working on a practical problem. If you already have an idea what data analytics might be, this course is not for you. It does contain a decent first introductions to spreadsheets, tableau and R on a level of a first tutorial. It does contain lots of career advice, so if you are looking for that, this course might be helpful for you. In retrospect I must say I wasted a huge amount of time on it in the hope that finally there will be some gems in it. There are not.

This course was ok.

The introduction, get familiar with the terms.

The only thing i wasn't ok with was when we started learning SQL queries.

I understand this is a super beginnier level and is very basic, but to me personally, was difficilut to pass each SQL quizes or the weekly challenges because I did't have the basic foundtions or understandings of coding programs and by the time i had to take a test or write a query i really strugled.

Now that i completed this certification i am starting classes at a communy college to learn SQL, Excel, Tableu from a begginir level.

There needs to be an additional option for the capstone instead of Bellabeat. This data is not comprehensive and complete. It is not from a reliable source. It should not be used for capstone projects. I will not be able to use this project in my portfolio. Please, add another project so that students do not waste their time on the second capstone project.

The guided project material was OK but not great by any means. The instructions were incomplete and confusing, sometimes one section contradicts another, no consideration given to how exactly the student can apply the guided questions in this specific case . It seems like it was done in a hurry.

The course really holds your hand and doesn't allow you to actually pursue any problem solving. The questions are very often so obvious that you can answer them without even studying the content. I think this course could really be upgraded by adding more interactive graded material.

The course was too long. It could be simplified to half the time. Using R in lieu of Python is not ideal, not for a first language. The SQL was too basic and took way too long to cover. The course material is too long, irrelevant in large portions.

The capstone case study one is not able to be completed through R. There is a breakdown between combining the 12 sheets into one - after uploading.

I felt like this last course of the certificate wasn't needed and was added to increase the amount of time people took to complete the certificate

Some concepts could have been explained a lot better.

I found the course rather wordy and could have been reduced to half the time.

it was very theory based....exams were mostly theory based.....i hope it would be more practical exams and more learning by doing

It just gives an idea of how to become a data analyst, nothing more. For me this course is a kind of hype.

Can be Improved by enforcing some Practical before completion of certificate

Program is excellent but ID verification system is very poor with cousera.

Whole course did not properly prepare for a live data analysis

i dont recive my crtificate

goog

I wish an instructor walked us through this case study and then assigned another one. I had the intention of completing this but got discouraged with a lot of unanswered questions on completing it. For starters, the data set is way too big and was unable to download it onto a spreadsheet, etc. I think a small dataset of no more than 100 would be ideal for a beginner project. I thought they would've updated this course by now, since many learners shared the same sentiment in the discussion group. Imo, it definitely needs to be updated.

My mind is completely messed up with this Course I'm not able to understand apart from Case Study , Portfolio

is Understandable , and Projects aren't worth it Understand for me , All Six Phases Ask , Prepare, Process, Analyze, Share , Act these Courses are Worth for me More , I Learnt A lot through these Courses

I hope you understand my Concern about Capstone Case Study , I'm Confused with Case Study

Very disappointed, once completed the course I've been waiting for the Certificate , but only a badge has been released. Very much disappointed. This wasn't mentioned anywhere.. at the bottom of the course presentation page there is a different reference about the certificate. Adios Coursera

Course started out ok up to the really cute Sally and went downhill from there by all other presenters who seem to be talking to a wall rather than a human being who is trying to learn.

Absolutely abysmal case study prompts. I was very excited to do this but these assignments are boring, generic, uninspiring, and dull.

Was expecting to have more interaction with other students or instructors.

Case 1 and 2 are pretty lame

Too slow and too many unnecessary components in the course. Wish it's more focused on data analytics.
