Solid "big picture" refresher course before getting into the more technical stuff I'm sure down the road, even for folks with backgrounds in math and science but haven't used it years (okay, decades).

Awesome class. Found out why I'm always analytical about things in my personal life and the critical thinking that this provides. I love it and hopefully this will help me land my dream job at Google!

I liked the way the content was presented for this course; it was very engaging, with varied mediums and approaches to getting the students engaged (there was a forum, written responses, multiple choice quizzes, the option to "like" and "dislike" content, etc.). I wished there were a few more videos and maybe some more animated visualizations though; I think the videos and tutorials really help to let the concepts sink in.

This course is a great way to understand what data analysts is. They help you understand basic knowledge what you need to know in data analyst world. They'll guide you step by step that you don't need any understanding about what you should know if you want to jump in this job field. As someone that take IBM data analyst course too, I recommend you to take this course instead (if you have zero knowledge about this field).

This course is everything I needed to make a move in my career, the flexibility offered by the program is amazing. The quality of the content and the clarity in the explanation is absolutely unbelievable. I am determined to continue and finish the entire program and see what opportunities this can open to me. I will also in the future continue with others certificates for my own knowledge and benefit.

Absolutely amazing.

It was a fascinating journey going through this course. Every step was so detailed and easy to understand that even someone with basic computing skills could opt for this course. I have a great deal of appreciation for our instructor, Tony, who accompanied us and motivated us throughout this journey and made it fun and exciting to learn everything. Looking forward to learn from our next instructor in the upcoming course!

Thank you to Google for giving me an opportunity to learn, which was a wonderful experience, and I benefited a lot from it, represented in the possibility of solving problems and developing work in scientific ways and means, even though I am Arabic and I am not fluent in English, but my insistence on taking lessons in English in order to learn language terminology English increased my love to learn the English language.

I really appreciated that this course had different types of learning such as reading, videos, reflection, and practice items. With the videos being short, I was never bored and all the speakers were easy to understand and listen to. I only wish there was more practice items as far as SQL was concerned but the course did provide links to places you could practice SQL and I'm assuming we'll learn more in another course.

This is an excellent course as it teaches you the complete basics of data analytics. For anyone starting in the field of data analysis it's a great course. One advice I would give to new learners, is to really learn and understand things. This course helped me open my mind in ways I didn't know I could. It teaches you to think like a data analyst and provides a stepping stone for further courses in this certification.

I am very satisfied with the course. In my case, the way the material is divided up (number of chapters vs the amount the information) and motivating to continue learning deserves special praise. The exams, called "challenges" are not overwhelming. In addition, the questions verify understanding of the issue and reward the ability to apply the information learned. Less frequently, they verify terminology and details.

Very nice, terrific "Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere" : Actually, even not 100% sticking to my head now, comparing to beginning of this course, i feel i'm getting know to the concepts and how to proceed for data analysis process. I'll back here when i need to refresh what i had learned later. Many thanks to all instructors guiding us try to recognize the entrance of data analysis process. Best regards, Kevin Song ~

My experience with this course was great. I have a formal background in Finance and worked within Financial Services for 5 years, but have been growing an interest in other fields and careers. I have experience with SQL and spreadsheets, but I never thought I was competent enough to be a data analyst. After this Course I feel more secure in myself and my experience to go forward with the confidence that I can do this.

It is very essential, as it focuses on the basics of data analytics, which prepares you for the next steps of data analytics with a solid understanding of what data means to organizations, how they utilize data to drive their goals, and what is expected of a data analyst in such cases. The instructor presenting the material makes it personal, and it is easy to comprehend as it includes examples in practical contexts.

I'm really happy and impressed by this course so far. The pace is just nice and though we didn't have a formal sort of test or evaluation for the course, the knowledge transfer and test along the way was very effective that makes you realised that you really learned alot and I could apply it throughout the entire course. I'm ready to bring it forward to the rest of the courses and deep dive further. Thank you Google!

This course was a great starter for a beginner like me who wanted someone to guide them through the subject and what its real world applications are, the language and terminology were easy to understand and the faculty teaching us had great methods to make us understand the concepts as easily as possilble.

I would recomend this to any beginner who wants to have a deeper understanding of the subject of data analytics.

I really enjoyed this course! It's aptly titled because it does set you up with a foundation for what will be further learned down the road. One thing that I really appreciate is the mix of different activities, so different types of learners would at least be able to enjoy some aspect of the course's presentation of the material. I'm excited to continue on this journey in Google's professional certificate program!

I genuinely enjoyed this first course and find the journey engaging. My only neutral feedback is that some self-reflections or practices were worded in a way that confused me and made me think I was on the wrong chapter, wording things like "Now that you know that right questions to ask..." when I haven't gotten to that chapter yet, but other than that, I truly enjoyed this chapter and it's a 5 stars in my opinion.

This course was so awesome. As a student of data analysis I recommend everyone to do this course to get a clear and better idea about data analysis approach and path. This course will just guide you to do your best and give you clear idea about the responsibilities and a clear vision about data analysis. And I must say that the instructor is awesome. He explained everything clearly though some topics were complex.

The program have help me a lot in gaining insight of what data analytics entails, the instructors did a very good job in given detailed explanation of every unit in each module, there are lots of learning resources to fall back to if in doubt, the module quiz also helped a lot in building confidence. I'm looking forward to next next course. Thank you Google team for making this platform a great place for learning.

As someone who know absolutely nothing about data analytics, this course was just enough to not only feed my curiosity, but it also turned that curiosity into a growing desire to want to learn more. It was just enough information to give me the basic insights about data analytics and to set the tone about what I'll be learning next. I truly enjoyed this course and I am genuinely excited to move on to the next one.

it's an amazing course, I feel like I have already become a data analyst. though the video lectures are a little slow for me so I have to watch the videos fast-forward, also I recommend writing your notes from day one, as there is so little information in the lectures which you don't want to miss out. I thank Coursera and Google for creating such an amazing course. Looking forward to completing the specialization.

This first course in the Data Analytics Google Certification really builds your confidence in your ability to finish the certification. The pace is pretty slow, reinforcing the information you are currently learning. If every course in the certification is paced a similar way then I think that most people will be able to learn a lot of functional information about data analysis from the certification as a whole.
