This is a great introduction to using Looker! I found that the best content is the one for week 1, for the second week I thought it was going to be deeper

5 stars, but still could be better - the last two modules felt a little off - because if you did previous two labs you already know the material.

Excellent basic overview of the Looker tool. I was able to easily compare it to the same features that I know well in Tableau. Thank you!

Some of these exercises are outdated, literally the dates won't work because the data is so old. I submitted a ticket but don't have time to go back and retrieve the detail they need. Please think about updating the exercises.

A nice introduction to looker, instructors are clear and charismatic. I feel like the order of the lectures is a little off (like talking about looks and dashboards at the end) but its not really a problem. I would've prefered it the videos were demos instead of screenshots with highlighted parts, sometimes you dont know where to look. But its not a huge issue. This course provides you with enough information and gives you the confidence to start playing around with looker on your own.

Excellent content to understand and get hands-on experience for a Data Visualization and BI Analytics tool. Looker definitely is a great way to not just create great data visualizations, but it also has great capability to share, extract, build different metrics from the existing content for our organization. I will highly recommend taking and completing this course if you want to be at the top of the list in your peer group with Data and Business Intelligence!

A gentle and clear intro to Looker. The order in which the content is presented can be improved a bit to be more pedagogically logical, specifically covering the mechanics of the platform prior to delving into the more technical content.
