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!

Great way of approaching learning through use of video and reading. Keeping in short time spans allows for deeper learning and focusing on particular areas. I like that there are transcripts along with the videos to follow along. It helps not only to see and hear the material but also be able to read along which can help with better retention.

This course taught me to ethically distinguish data collection processes and their responsibilities, and different professions such as data scientist and data analysis. I would recommend a course that simplifies what everyone already knows and simply explains things like what is data science, these are processes, how do you do these processes.

Great introductory course that exposed me to the world of possibilities with data. I enjoyed learning about what to expect as a data analyst and how data analysts contribute to the world we live in every day. Perfect for people who may not have experience with programming but are looking to learn in a very accessible and understandable format.

Well structured, knowledge filled, wonderful visualizations, and superbly timed and placed assessments. This course was not only informative about prospects in data analysis, but was also a breathe of fresh air for a student like me who is used to the hustle and bustle of everyday classes and labs.

Did I mention how refreshing seeing Tony was?

I appreciated the accommodation of Closed Captioning and the ability to take notes within the program. Having a video that included people within the field was reassuring that one was learning from experts. Having encouraging videos and writing prompts about your progress along the way made me feel like I was being supported. Highly recommend.

The course was very well taught, with each lesson handled effectively with teachable approaches that were simple to comprehend. The training was engaging, impactful, and interesting. This training was helpful for me.

I was hesitant to enroll in the course because it is entirely online, but I am glad I did. The instructors are excellent tutors!

I am very pleased with my experience so far with the Data Analytics Certificate Program. The way the entire 5 week program laid out for you and how it moves you along to the next step with ease, makes it so easy to get through the course in a breeze. I'm so glad I decided to try Google Certificates with Coursera, this is life changing for me!

truly amazing, I appreciate the motivation and guidance and the fact that all who participated in the creation of this course were really welcoming and tried to make the learner comfortable, yes the road to becoming a data analyst is a long and hard one but starting and trying doesn't have to be as complicated as some courses try to show it.

This is a very good course. It helps the student to learn and retain information easily. It was very easy for me to learn with this program.

The only bad thing is we should have had more training in the R programming , which by the way has been renamed "posit" on the website. I had thought we would go through a program within the course.

Great introduction to data analysis!! I'm very new to this field and was eager to get through it!! So eager I finished the 5-week course in 5 days!! The videos are short and the reading assignments were also short. This allowed me to take breaks without "losing" the information I had just learned. I'm excited to continue onto the next!

Solid introductory course that covers the key concepts that you will be learning in future courses. The course is a mix of videos as well as readings with quizzes and tests mixed in. While it is designed for people who do not have any prior experience in an analytical field, I still found value in it even though I have a career in analysis.

I've learned more new things. I have given interesting knowledge, like "5 Whys". It would be the best way to solve any problem you face in your life. I realize that Data Analyst like Sherlock Holmes. He found a track or mark, discovered a coincidence, compared facts, and made a data-driven decision. You will be a detective, but among data.

Great way to start. Covering the basisc topics and giving an overall perspective on data analysis. The mix of video tutorials, self-reflection opportunitites and reading helps to keep on track without getting bored. The video instructors can be understood easily and clearly. Hope it continues that way with the next course in the program!

This course was fundamental to kickoff data analyst career and it was wonderful to observe that I was already data analyst. The course is great by putting everyone in the same page, levelling concepts and the covering the basics. It uses a learning strategy that I admire the most: going from zero, step-by-step and using simplest concepts.

I have learned so much with our instructor Tony. He is clear with his examples, definitions and even highlighting every key notes I needed to aces the quizzes. Understanding the first course and being driven to finish it means a lot when you got an instructor like Tony. I hope that the next courses will be similar and easy to follow with.
