This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

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).

This course really does a good job of starting things from a place where if you don't know what you're doing, you can quickly get into the swing of what you need to know. It does a good job balancing technical skills with the softer skills you'd likely need.

I thought this was a very fun and encouraging introduction to the course. I like the way the questions aren't not intended to confuse the learner which can make me doubt my abilities. There aren't any "gotcha" questions just straight forward look and learn.

The course is dynamic, objective, and useful, even suggesting ways to find a job as a data analyst. There are resources and software that one must learn outside of the course in order to complement it, but being almost totally theoretical, it is effective.
